Today on the podcast, we welcome author, speaker, and entrepreneur, Adam Vibe Gunton. Adam is the founder of Recovered On Purpose, and he's the author of the book From Chains to Saved.

Through his book, TED talk and online presence, his story of addiction and recovery has reached millions of people worldwide. With an entrepreneurial sales and marketing background, Adam broke sales records in two door-to-door industries and built a multimillion-dollar B2C marketing company with a team of 23 employees in three states.

Now, as the founder and executive director of Recovered On Purpose, Adam lives by the affirmation, “I am the example of what is possible for an addict when they recover.” Adam shares how he started as a joyful young boy with straight A's and a promising athletic career before experiencing the depths of addiction, surviving an overdose that nearly took his life, and then finding his path to recovery.

He shares a profound spiritual experience that solidified his faith and connected him with a larger vision for his life that led him to create his nonprofit, Recovered on Purpose, which now helps millions of people around the globe who struggle with addiction.

We spoke about a variety of related themes such as identity, self-trust, building community, and fully stepping into a purpose that is much bigger than just oneself.
