In this episode, we speak with Author Ryan Penley. With more than four years of hard-won sobriety, Ryan has transformed his life's adversities into valuable lessons for those still struggling with addiction. Today, he lives a life that is unimaginably blessed, exceeding even his own expectations. His debut book, "Man Up. Sober Up.," serves as both a testament to his resilience and a practical guide for those seeking to reclaim control over their lives.

More than a survivor, Ryan is a beacon of hope for those still battling their demons. He demonstrates that from the depths of despair, it is indeed possible to forge a life filled with purpose and joy. In this episode, we discuss:

1) How important it is to celebrate the wins even when they seem really simple like 3 minutes of jumping jacks in one day and how that builds momentum to improving your health, continued sobriety and creating longer lasting change in your life. 2) How Ryan spent so much of his life pursuing happiness outside of himself, and how he finally learned it all came from within.
