Episode 574: From Opioids to Ordained: Jeff Grant's Prison-to-Purpose Redemption

Bizzy fam! In episode 574, I get real with Jeff Grant, Esq.—a lawyer who hit rock bottom with prescription opioid addiction, served federal prison time for a white-collar crime, and rose through sobriety, faith, and a Master of Divinity from Union Theological Seminary to become an ordained reverend. Jeff and his wife Lynn co-founded the White Collar Support Group to lift up families in crisis, reinstated his law license to fight the system at GrantLaw.com, and launched the Federal Expungement Initiative for second chances. Don't miss his take on forgiveness, community, and the White Collar Conference 2025 (Oct 11, 9 AM ET on Zoom, open to all—register at whitecollarconference.com). Jeff speaks Thursday, Oct 9 at 7 PM ET at Bethesda-by-the-Sea, Palm Beach, FL (RSVP: [email protected]). Watch: https://www.youtube.com/@elizabethchance! #ItsBizzy #LiveLoudLoveBig
