Ep 78: How I Got My Piloting Career Back | Nick R., The Sequel

Nick is a pilot, through and through. When he talks you can feel how much he loves flying planes. For a time, he lost all that because of his inability to stop drinking. But now, like so many people in recovery, he’s gotten back his career, and so much more as well. The first time I interviewed him was for episode 71 of our podcast, where you can hear a detailed story of his journey to MARR and what happened here. At the time of our interview, he had just started working full-time as MARR’s Alumni Coordinator and was hoping that he would get his pilot’s license back eventually.
