At this year's Winter Leadership Summit in Snowmass, Dylan and KC sat down with Start Up Recovery founder  Gregg Champion. Gregg has a harrowing story of overcoming addiction and trauma and through the recovery process, and its application in all his affairs,  built a career as a successful film and television producer. He now has taken his experience as an entrepreneur in recovery and  turned it into his Start Up Recovery programs in Los Angeles. It's a remarkable and inspiring story and a good reminder that life doesn't stop when we put down the substance down- it launches. 

Peter Fluor, CEO of Driftwood outside of Austin and a Jaywalker alum, drops in to have to share his story with Bobby, Dylan, and Jaywalker Director of Operations David Fitzpatrick. The men discuss their overlapping journeys and how community has helped each of them persevere through the tribulations that arise in their personal and professional recovery journeys. 

Kevin Petersen, MA, LMFT, drops in for an "on the road" episode of the Jaywalker Podcast from this year's Winter Symposium in Colorado Springs.  Stefan, Dylan, and Kevin delve into their own family experiences to shine a sometime humorous, sometimes melancholy, but always honest light on the importance of a program of recovery for the entire family.

There's a lot of laughter, ribbing, and some tears for good measure. It's a conversation you must not miss.
