Paul Casey: From Prison to Purposeful Coaching
I had to change myself mentally, which I thought school was going to do, that I had to change myself emotionally, but the way I did that was in the opposite effect is: I've hardened my emotions because you can't feel emotions or show emotions in prison, because it makes you weak, right.
Paul Casey's story is one of resilience and transformation. After nearly two decades entangled in addiction and the prison system, Paul decided it was time for a change. With just one year left on his ten-year sentence, he began a journey of self-improvement that would ultimately lead him to sobriety and success. In this episode of 'The Addiction Podcast - Point of No Return', Paul shares how he turned his life around by focusing on fitness, nutrition, and mindset coaching.
