Sat down with Allen from Hollow Labs the morning after he set up a table at The TOP Strength Project to set our members up w his products.   

Allen struggled w addiction for much of his life but was able to turn things around in a big way.  Today he’s able to share his story and experiences w others.

Some thought-provoking topics in this one.  How to create and maintain momentum, importance of seeking challenges, choosing the ‘hard’ path, building relationships and connection w others, and the importance of reflection.

Enjoy!!
