In this episode I am talking to Scott Silverman. I was introduced to Scott by his publicist (shout out to Steve Joiner). Scott shares his story with me and we talk about recidivism, prison reform, community re-entry from incarceration, and other issues surrounding those topics.

.

I have a correction to make regarding which president appointed Judge John McBryde. I said it was Trump but he was actually appointed by Bush Senior

.

Here is more about Scott:

.

I empower individuals and families to move forward past the crisis and onto the road of recovery.

As founder of Second Chance, I worked to break the cycle of substance abuse, unemployment, poverty, and homelessness for 25,000 at-risk teens and adults going through the incarceration system. Today, I lead the team at Confidential Recovery, an intensive outpatient substance abuse recovery program.

But that’s not why you want to work with me.

You want to work with me because I have been there. I’ve been through the fire and come out on the other side. Thirty years ago I was on the edge. Struggling from addiction, considering suicide, and feeling like things were unraveling. I was at rock bottom. The day after trying to kill myself, I flew home and immediately entered treatment. I lived the embarrassment, fear, and helplessness surrounding addiction. And I have come out the other side whole.

Today I get to live life on life’s terms and I get to give back. I am now 35 years sober, working to empower others on their journey. Regardless if they are a high-powered lawyer turning to opioids, an at-risk teen struggling with suicide, an abusive spouse, or a family dynamic that needs to be addressed, I get results. 

Additionally, I am the CEO of Confidential Recovery an outpatient addiction program in San Diego, California. Please visit the Confidential Recovery website at https://www.confidentialrecovery.com/.

In this episode I am talking to Michelle Virog a brand expert from Canada, about her having a kidney transplant and how she contracted west nile virus. We also talk about how she transitioned out of a traditional office job as a marketing person to owning her own successful online business as a brand consultant. I actually joined her branding hub program for really zeroing in on my vision, values, goals for the Nowhere To Go But Up  brand. There is a lot of information and master classes available once you get access. I did a master class on podcasting in there.

BIO

Michelle has powerful personal story that she has openly shared to inspire thousands of people over the years. She developed kidney disease when she was only 8 years old and had her first kidney transplant at the same age. That transplant lasted until she was about 23 and then Michelle had to start dialysis. She has been on dialysis for the past 12 years. Despite living with this chronic illness, Michelle started her business 4 years ago to create more freedom in her life. She's worked in digital marketing for 7+ years, but her business has always focused on social media. Michelle recently stopped doing done-for-you services in order to launch her membership site, the Personal Branding HUB, when she realized she could help MORE business owners & podcasters navigate the online world, share their story as well and have more freedom at the same time.
