It was great connecting with Kurt! Not only is he sober, but he is also from my hometown of St. Louis, MO.


Kurt Schmidt is a Certified Peer Support Specialist and Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) who merges personal resilience with professional expertise. With an MSW from Missouri State University and an MBA from Webster University, Kurt draws from 15 years of business, technology, and service experience to offer effective peer support for mental health and substance use disorders.


He helps build meaningful connections with individuals and families, empowering them to embrace their strengths for positive change. 


Kurt's journey from culinary school to mental health advocate showcases the transformative power of resilience. Battling addiction since his early twenties, Kurt's story is a testament to committing to recovery. His roles as a Peer Support Specialist and LMSW reflect both personal milestones and professional achievements.


The creation of The Peer Network signifies Kurt's commitment to equitable opportunities for peer support specialists. Supported by his wife Melinda and their daughters, Kurt's story inspires hope for recovery and renewal.


I hope you enjoy today's show.
