Summary
Turn Adversity into Advantage
with Doug Bopst
---------------
“I took the deal… and the last thing I did was snort a few hundred milligrams of oxy,” says Doug. This was right before he started a 90-day stint in jail where he was forced to sober up in a hurry. His cellmate was a fitness fanatic and Doug’s unofficial trainer on his path to recovery. Despite all the odds, Doug left prison in better shape than he went in. Today, Doug is clean and sober and is an author, fitness trainer, and speaker.
Listen & Learn:
- How hitting rock bottom can be a great gift
- Why there is not quick-fix to a long-standing problem
- How to surrender to the process of change
