Landon's Leap: From University Dealer to Recovery Advocate

John has given me an opportunity to be at a position that it would have taken me probably Four Years and a b a to get to plus working.
Picture a young man with a promising future, suddenly spiraling into the abyss of addiction. That's Landon's story. Raised in the beautiful Okanagan, Landon seemed to have it all—great grades, a university scholarship, and a life filled with opportunities. But at just 13, he began experimenting with recreational drugs. What started as casual use soon turned into something far more sinister once he moved onto campus and found himself dealing drugs.
His fame and addiction grew hand-in-hand, leading him to rock bottom. In this episode of 'Journeys of Renewal: Real Stories from John Volken Academy,' Landon opens up about his transformative journey. After hitting his lowest point, he found solace and a second chance at the John Volken Academy in Vancouver. Here, Landon embraced a holistic recovery program that focuses on mind, body, and spirit.
With the academy's support, he reconnected with his family, delved into entrepreneurship, and discovered a community that believed in him when he couldn't believe in himself. Landon's story is a testament to the power of long-term recovery programs. The John Volken Academy offers more than just a path to sobriety; it provides a comprehensive approach to rebuilding lives. From business ventures to community support, the academy equips its students with the tools they need for lasting change.
Whether you're struggling with addiction or know someone who is, Landon's journey offers hope and inspiration. Tune in to hear how he turned his life around and became an advocate for recovery.
