Episode 35: The Choice of Living Undeterred is Yours

One day you are a successful entrepreneur, husband and father, and then you lose a son, and not too long after, lose your bride too?

This is the story of Jeff Johnston’s life, and in this interview we explore how his life was forever changed five years ago when he got the call that his eldest son died of fentanyl poisoning, and then two years ago when Jeff experienced another tragedy, losing his wife Prudence to alcoholism and became a widower too.

Since these losses Jeff has dedicated his life to Living Undeterred. This included creating a mental health charity, writing the book “This One’s For You – an Inspirational Journey Through Addiction, Death and Meaning”, creating the Living Undeterred Podcast, and so much more.
