I knew I had to stay sober, and so that was different too, and I just found myself in the rooms of a-step program and I did the steps.
John Krause's story is a testament to the power of resilience and transformation. As a successful coffee roaster with multiple locations in the Bay Area, John’s current life stands in stark contrast to his tumultuous past. Growing up, John faced immense challenges, including a troubled childhood that led him down a path of addiction and repeated incarcerations. His early teens were marred by substance abuse, eventually landing him in the infamous San Quentin prison for over 12 years.
But John's journey didn't end there. Through unwavering faith and the support of mentorship programs, he found a way to turn his life around. Today, he runs a thriving coffee business, Big House Beans, and uses his story to inspire others. This episode delves into John's childhood struggles, his battles with addiction, and how he rebuilt his life post-incarceration. It’s a powerful reminder that with purpose, mentorship, and perseverance, overcoming even the toughest obstacles is possible.
