To Hell and Back with Ed O'Connell PART ONE

October 11, 2022 • Kelly Schols • Season 3 • Episode 7

When I first met Ed, the connection was instant. And it was just because both of us owned successful plumbing companies at the time, our bond went much deeper. We both had a history of alcoholism that almost killed us. Ed's story is definitely more extreme. It includes homelessness, drug dealing, and service in Vietnam. Our session covers a before and after story of sobriety and the immeasurable personal and professional success that followed. What you'll hear today in Part One of Ed's journey To Hell and Back. It is Ed's version of a living hell: Alcohol addiction.

Ed O'Connell has been a mentor to many in the trades. In fact, he's won a number of awards including two for his mentorship to Service Nation Advisory Boards. He writes articles for Contractor Magazine. Before Ed sold O'Connell Plumbing, he was named Service Round Table's Contributor of the Year.

Community and giving back are of utmost importance to Ed. Make sure you stay tuned for Episode Two where Ed shares his love for his community and the transformation he experienced along with sobriety.
