Summary

[Broadcast on 7/21/22] • Getting sober can dramatically change your life. Ed Latimore grew up in Pittsburgh housing projects and struggled with alcohol addiction. He got sober in 2013, and now he's a bestselling author, competitive chess player, former pro heavyweight boxer, veteran, and successful speaker with a bachelor's degree in Physics. Ed’s writing focuses on self-development, realizing your potential, and sobriety — all of which he approaches from his personal experience with overcoming poverty and addiction.
