The Adversity Advantage with Doug Bopst

From Addict and College Dropout to 7 Figure Entrepreneur: The Story of Moira Kucaba


Listen Later

Today’s guest is Moira Kucaba. Moira is a former alcoholic, addict and college dropout turned thought leader, seven figure entrepreneur and one of the most successful Beachbody coaches ever. Moira has been sober for over twenty years and today we dive deep into her story. 

 

Today on the show we discuss: the five things that have helped her stay sober for over two decades, why she still goes to twelve step meetings despite being heavily involved in the self help space, how to let go of shame and judgment from others when asking for help for your addiction, how she outgrew her identity as an addict and used her addictive personality to build a 7 figure business, what led to her addiction, what getting sober at 21 looked like and much more.
