GOING ROGUE Podcast with Angie Manson
Entrepreneur in Addiction Treatment, CrossFitter, Podcast Host, and Power Mom! Going Rogue is how I’ve made it this far in life and has been my mantra. Sometimes you’ve got to break some rules or ruffle some feathers to get anything truly meaningful done. It has served me well in my career and in helping me overcome challenges. Passion Turned Into Profession…CEO of Elevate Addiction Services I’ve worked in alcohol and drug rehabilitation full-time for over 28 years. I came into this industry after my own life had taken a turn and I was facing 10 years in prison, only to have been given a chance at rehab first. I saw what addiction could do to my life and that I was one of so many struggling with the same issue. I also saw how effective rehab could completely turn someone’s life around. After I got clean, I started helping others and have never looked back!The Elevate model is a unique and copyrighted method that aims to empower the individual to not only stay sober, but reach their true potential by addressing their core issues and reviving their purpose and place in the world.

GOING ROGUE Podcast with Angie Manson
Angie Manson with Kijuan Amey - The Power of Perspective
In this inspiring episode of Going Rogue, Angie Manson sits down with keynote speaker, musician, and blind Air Force veteran Kijuan “Key” Amey to explore what it means to overcome life’s most devastating setbacks—and come back stronger, wiser, and more purpose-driven than ever.
After a devastating motorcycle accident left him blind and battling through months of surgeries and recovery, Key shares how his military mindset, spiritual foundation, and unwavering determination helped him rebuild his life. Angie and Key talk candidly about trauma, depression, suicidal thoughts, and the power of sharing your story as a way to heal—not just yourself, but others.
Key reflects on how he turned his “why me?” into “why not me?” and how losing his vision gave him what he calls a “superpower”—the ability to connect deeply through words, music, and emotion. From speaking in front of thousands to learning piano by ear, Key’s story is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the magic that happens when we trust the process, lean into purpose, and speak from the heart.
💥 Topics covered:
- Mental resilience from military training
- Processing trauma and finding support
- The power of faith and divine guidance
- Discovering your “superpowers” after loss
- Speaking and performing as a blind artist
- Music therapy and spiritual healing
- Why adversity can be your greatest teacher
