015: The Power of Choice: How A Drug Addict Turned Fitness Trainer In Jail - Doug Bopst


Listen Later

In this deeply inspiring conversation, I sit down with Doug Bopst, an extraordinary individual who defied the odds and reclaimed his life from drug addiction. We delve deep into topics that resonate with us all: finding transformation even in the darkest times and the incredible power we possess to choose a new path.



Doug is now an acclaimed personal trainer, author, and host of the Adversity Advantage Podcast - but his journey here is one of struggle and resilience. Within the confines of a jail cell, Doug rewrote his story by finding freedom through fitness, creating new habits, and pursuing healing. His story reminds us that, regardless of our past, we hold the power to craft a brighter future.
