#25 Ben & Jessica Owen - Rock Bottom and Back Again

Ben and Jessica Owen, founders of Flanders Fields and We Fight Monsters, have dedicated their lives to combating opiate and fentanyl addiction and sex-trafficking in the mid-south. Both recovering addicts with a tumultuous past including drug arrests and homelessness, they've transformed their struggles into a force for good. Leveraging experiences from running safehouses during the Afghanistan evacuation, they now establish sober-living homes in the U.S., converting dope houses into recovery spaces. Working alongside agencies and street gangs, they embody hope and recovery, turning their once perilous paths into lifelines for others.Ben is the President of digital media and data intel company Black Rifle Co, co-founder of We Fight Monsters, and CEO of Flanders Fields, where his mission is to build and establish as many Flanders owned clean living facilities as possible to get veterans clean and off the streets through volunteer missions in the United States and around the world.
