John Sheldon hosts the Beyond Belief Sobriety podcast. I had the privilege of being a guest on John’s podcast where we had a wide-ranging conversation that touched on these topics:

My story of recovery: what it was like, what happened, what it is like now.
How entrepreneurial coach Kevin Lawrence was the first person I admitted I had a drinking problem to and how he coached me to going to 12-step recovery.
Why I became a business coach.
How John relates to the coaching in his work as a manager and in motivating people in his recovery work.
My decision to focus on coaching and facilitating with entrepreneurs who struggle with alcohol or who have struggled with alcohol in the past.
Why only some people are ready for coaching or recovery.

The power of holding space and listening to another person.
