Erik: Gratitude, Volunteering, and a Big Beautiful Life after Incarceration

#29:  If gratitude and giving back are part of your New Year’s Intentions (or your any-time-of-the-year intentions), you’ll love this conversation with Erik. 

After years of addiction to crystal meth and ultimately incarceration, Erik wasn’t sure he had anything to give.  Seeing the pain in his family’s eyes was a catalyst to working toward a different way of living, diving into fitness, and finding recovery.  Upon release from prison, Erik quickly learned that he had plenty to give, and began reaching out to help others.

As generous as he is humble, Erik gives us a new understanding of what it means to volunteer, and how much giving back impacts both the giver and recipient.  Like so many guests we’ve had on the show, Erik is amazed every day at the life he built in recovery, and the community that surrounds him.
