Many entrepreneurs cope with the stress, pace, lows, and highs of running a business by using alcohol. Alcohol can also take us down and have a massive impact on us and our business. I know. I’m an alcoholic. Fortunately, I have found recovery for many years now. I am dedicated to helping other entrepreneurs like me who realize that alcohol is no longer working for them. There is hope and help. I know, because sobriety not only works for me, but has let me experience the biggest dreams I have ever had for myself. Let’s have a conversation.

I am committed to making positive change for people. I do my work with the hope that I am making a difference, but like many leaders I know never really know if I have made an impact. I was thrilled and honored to receive an email message recently from Rad Tantra in Indonesia. This extraordinary young man was inspired by my podcast interview with Dan Lok. I am extremely grateful that Rad has kindly given me permission to share his letter.

How can you have an impact like Rad has created in his community?

Karalee and I were driving from Sechelt to Gibsons on BC’s sunshine coast to catch the noon ferry back to the mainland. The day before we had celebrated our 34th anniversary and were happy after having had a four-day mini break together away from the busyness of regular life.

My mobile rang this April morning and I answered it on the car speakerphone. It was a reporter from the National Post newspaper. He asked if I heard the news and with a sinking heart I said that we hadn’t. He then told us that our good sailing buddy John Ridsdel had been murdered by beheading by the Abu Sayyaf terrorists who had kidnapped John and four others off the docks of a marina in the Southern Philippines September 21, 2015.

My heart skipped a beat as I heard my name called out to come on stage to receive a service award for my work over the years with the department.
