In this episode, I sit down with Jakob to talk about recovery, purpose, and what it really takes to build something that helps people heal.Jakob shares his journey from working as a behavioral health tech to becoming the Executive Director of the Illinois Recovery Center. He opens up about the challenges of opening a treatment facility, the pressure of leadership, and the power of having a team rooted in recovery.We talk about peer support, the emotional weight of relapse, and the difference between just “getting clean” and truly living in recovery. Jakob brings honesty, humility, and a ton of insight from his years in the addiction treatment field.I also share parts of my own story—going from a cook to a recovery support technician—and why I believe long-term recovery depends on three core things: honesty, fellowship, and abstinence.If you’ve ever been curious about what it takes to stay clean, help others do the same, or build a recovery community from the ground up, this conversation is for you.

Keep coming back. It works if you work it, and you are worth it!
