Inmate to Ironman: Hear Shane’s story of redemption.
Shane Niemeyer is a health and fitness expert, motivational speaker, and inspirational author. After spending much of his adolescence and adulthood in and out of jails and institutions, he lived homeless for four years and eventually went back to prison. Throughout that time, Shane was severely addicted to drugs and alcohol.
After a failed suicide attempt in prison, he was able to put his life together, day by day, week by week, embarking on evidence-informed journey of growth and improvement that he still lives today.
