Hello, world.

Welcome to discover your talent, do what you love.

I'm your host, Don Hutchison.

Every Monday, I interview someone from around the world who's discovered their talents to do work they love

to create a life of success, satisfaction, and freedom. On Fridays, I interview an individual

with many years of experience from one of the most popular occupations or professions who

shares an insider's look at what it's really like to do what they do. I'm delighted to bring you our featured guest, Blake Cohen.

Welcome, Blake.

Thank you. Thank you for having me.

It is our pleasure.

Blake, are you using your talents doing work that you love?

I'd certainly like to think so.

Good, good.

Blake Cohen, having overcome years of addiction and finding recovery at the age of

25, he's now 32, found a life beyond his wildest dreams. Throughout recovery, he had to learn how to

have fun, live life, and make an impact all without the use of substances in his life. He has a career in the substance abuse field at a treatment center named Recovery Unplugged,

has hosted radio shows, speaks to children in schools on a regular basis about his story of

addiction and teaches them how being cool is being yourself.

And he's a best-selling author with the new publication, I Love You

More, short stories of addiction, recovery, and loss from the family's perspective.

Well, Blake, that's a summary of your amazing career. Tell our listeners around the world what

you're engaged in right now that has you motivated and excited, if you would please.
