We spend a lot of effort and energy into whatever we're passionate about, whether that's shooting dope or whether that's, you know, going off and starting a business or something like that. It's like, like I said, we have a lot of those characteristics that make for a good, you know, business owner or entrepreneur.
Ever wondered how a bit of humor can change the face of sobriety? In this episode of the 'Picnic Table Society,' hosts Joe and Erin sit down with Jason, one of Joe's bosses and a fellow member of the recovery community. What starts as a light-hearted jab at Jason's beard color quickly turns into a deep dive into his personal journey to sobriety.
Jason opens up about his rocky road, including a relapse with his son's mother and a pivotal moment in a treatment center lobby where his aunt's tough love set him on the right path. This heartfelt conversation underscores the power of community and vulnerability in the recovery process. But it's not all serious talk; the episode is peppered with humor that makes these heavy topics more approachable.
Jason also shares how he and his business partner turned their energy into a successful irrigation company, Yellowstone, which employs others in recovery. They discuss how traits that can lead to addiction can also make for great entrepreneurship when channeled positively. Throughout the episode, you'll hear about the benefits of a sober lifestyle, from improved family relationships to the sheer power of choice in recovery.
The conversation wraps up with exciting plans for the future of the Picnic Table Society, aiming to expand their reach and impact. If you're looking for an episode that balances laughter with profound insights, this one's for you.
