There are no failures, there are only lessons. That's where you are now, not where you are in the future or in the past.
Ever wondered how someone can bounce back from the brink of disaster? In this episode of 'Beat Your Addictions', John Giordano sits down with Sterling Shrout, a man who's seen it all—from addiction and relapse to nearly losing his life in a drive-thru. Sterling's journey is anything but ordinary. He's a father, an adventurer, and a small business owner who's turned his life around in the most inspiring way.
After more than a decade entangled in the criminal justice system and multiple bouts of homelessness, Sterling found his 'why' and transformed his life. Now, he's dedicated to breaking the cycles of addiction, poverty, and educational failings. The episode dives deep into the importance of relationships and education in recovery. Sterling and John explore the challenges of achieving monetary success while staying grounded and patient. They stress that there are no failures—only lessons.
Sterling's story is a powerful reminder that resilience and motivation can lead to extraordinary transformations. Tune in to hear how he now helps others dream big, plan smart, and live fully.
