  • E112: Purpose Through Passion

    In this episode we interview Laran (Director of Programming and Outreach) and Amanda (Director of Operations) at Purpose Through Passion.

    Purpose Through Passion’s (PTP) mission is the belief that change is possible and can happen against all odds. PTP is a 501(c)(3) non-profit funding any recreational activity or hobby for those recovering from addiction in the Tampa Bay Area.

    Many of us have experienced the negative impact of addiction. Whether we’ve gone through it ourselves, or have known someone who has struggled with addiction, the vast majority of us have been impacted in some way, shape, or form. We choose not to allow these impacts to weigh us down, but to instead use them to drive us onward and upward.
