In this edition of The Way Out, our intrepid recovery co-host extraordinaire Jason had the distinct honor of sitting down with one of the founders of the McShin Foundation, John Shinholser! John recently celebrated 40 years of continuous Recovery and McShin was one of the first Recovery Community Organizations in the U.S. We get to hear John's story and learn how you can build your own Recovery Community Organization. Very few individuals have as much of a servant's heart as John does. McShin has touched thousands of lives, they have helped change and create legislation, and they bring hope and resources into correctional institutions all over the United States. This is one interview you won’t want to miss, so listen up.
