The Microshift Project Podcast - Episode 9 - From Rock Bottom to Revenue
What does addiction recovery have in common with building a business? More than you might think.
In this episode, I trace the parallels between my journey through recovery and my path as an entrepreneur. Both start at rock bottom. Both demand relentless perseverance. And both are built through the same principles: structure, accountability, community, resilience, and the discipline to keep showing up when it would be easier to quit.
For me, recovery was about more than getting clean — it was about learning how to live. Entrepreneurship was about more than making money — it was about learning how to lead. And the truth is, the lessons I lived in recovery are the exact same ones that help leaders scale businesses today.
This show is about the comeback story. About taking what broke you, rebuilding step by step, and turning it into momentum. If you’ve ever faced a rock bottom — in life or in business — this conversation will challenge you to see it not as an ending, but as a foundation.
Because perseverance doesn’t just rebuild a life. It builds revenue, leadership, and legacy.
