#15: The day has finally arrived! Today we sit down with Phoenix Founder and Executive Director, Scott Strode. Scott founded the sober, active community of The Phoenix, but demonstrates his deep belief in people by creating space for others to help shape the movement with their creativity and knowledge of each unique community.
This conversation is extra special, because Scott shares how fatherhood changed his recovery and his life's very purpose. He and Bryce discuss the parallels between fatherhood and recovery, and how disrupting generational patterns of trauma can change the way society approaches addiction.
Scott has said many times that society views people who have experienced addiction as the problem, while at The Phoenix, we are the solution. In this discussion he describes how his own experiences with The Phoenix have illustrated this point over and over again.
You'll hear the unexpected way that Scott recharges and relaxes, and get a glimpse into his poetic side.
This is one that you just don't want to miss. Whether you are already connected to The Phoenix or you are still wrapping your head around what a "sober, active community" even means, there is something in this episode that will inspire you to go even deeper.
