Wes Hurt: From Addiction to CLEAN Cause

If my heart's in the right place over time- and I make a lot of money if my heart's in the right place- I'll probably be more prone just to give it if it was really pure.
Imagine battling addiction while trying to run a business. Wes Hurt knows this struggle all too well. In this episode of 'Beyond the Bars', Wes shares his raw and gripping journey from addiction to becoming the founder of CLEAN Cause, a beverage company with a mission. Wes's story starts in his teens, experimenting with alcohol and drugs, which spiraled into full-blown dependency by his late 20s.
Despite managing to build a successful cupcake business, his addictions led to severe consequences, including rehab stints, psych ward visits, and the loss of his marriage and job. It wasn't until a night spent on the floor of a warehouse, feeling his heart flutter ominously, that Wes decided it was time for a change.
Determined to turn his life around, Wes founded CLEAN Cause with a clear mission: to create a sustainable source of funding to help individuals recover from addiction. The company donates half of its profits to support recovery efforts, making a real difference in people's lives. Wes talks about the challenges of balancing a social mission with profitability and the importance of staying true to one's values in business.
He shares touching stories of gratitude from those who have benefited from CLEAN Cause's support, emphasizing the power of consumer choices in driving social change. This episode is not just about business; it's about redemption, resilience, and the impact one person can have on many lives. Whether you're in recovery, supporting someone who is, or just interested in stories of transformation, Wes's journey offers inspiration and hope.
Tune in to hear how Wes turned his darkest moments into a beacon of light for others.
