209. From Addict to Amazing with Sam Messina

from We’ll Take it From Here with Joe · host We’ll Take it From Here with Joe

Happy New Year guys! We have a great episode this week and a banger to kick off the new year. We welcome Sam Messina to the show. We met Sam at Pure MMA and invited him to share his incredible life story. Sam takes us back to his early days as a Heroin addict. Whether it was selling his flat screen TV or having a gun pointed toward his face, Sam found any means possible to chase that high. However, this high was not one of pleasure, rather one to escape the pain and sickness of the drug. Thanks to Sam, his sister, and family, he finally decided enough is enough. Today, Sam is a husband, part owner of his family business, and an avid trainer of MMA. Sam's story is one of how no matter where you are in life, YOU are in charge to turn things around.Episode resources:Sponsor:Honest Supplements - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://honestsupplements.com⁠⁠⁠⁠Podcast Instagram:welltakeitfromherepodcast
