PAIN Founder Flindt Andersen and Jason LaChance sat-down with special guest Ben Tuff, the subject of the Swim Tuff documentary.

On April 21, 2012, Ben Tuff chose a life of sobriety to transform his own existence and to help inspire others to make this life-altering choice when alcoholism has taken over. After choosing a life of sobriety, he decided to take up swimming for the first time in his life and appreciated the peace and mindfulness it brought to him. Ten years later, on July 22, 2022, Ben set off to become the first person to swim the length of Narragansett Bay from Providence, RI to Jamestown, RI to raise money for the environmental non-profit Clean Ocean Access which he's already raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for.

We discuss how Ben's alcohol recovery journey helped him develop the discipline and drive to complete such tests of endurance. As well as how he's helping others seek and maintain sobriety, especially the youth.
