31 | (PART 2) Lessons from 28 years of sobriety - Gregg Champion, founder of START UP RECOVERY, talks about how a nice white boy who went to private school ends up facing 5 years in prison

GREGG CHAMPION   Gregg Champion, a TEDx speaker and former branding expert, has worked with top consumer brands (Gap, Mattel, Doritos, Pokemon, NIKE), major television networks (NBC, FOX, and Fox Sports), and professional sports teams during the first 15 years of his career.  He now focuses his energy on selective start-up ventures as an entrepreneur, advisor, educator, and start-up coach.   Gregg has helped, supported, and career coached over a 100 Millennials and Gen Z’s helping them successfully land their first job or internship in the "real world." Through his vast experiences working with Fortune 500 brands, running his own companies, and fostering relationships with young people at colleges and universities across the nation, he has developed a purpose driven playbook on how to land, keep, and thrive at your dream job. In June 2015, Gregg was named Mentor in Residence at USC's Lloyd Greif Center for Entrepreneurship after serving as a co-teacher for a 400-level undergraduate course on Venture Management within the Marshall School of Business.   Sensing a shift in the economy and the media industry, Gregg’s intuition told him he needed to pivot. He came up with a mantra that he said to his wife and the universe every day…   “I want to get paid for being me.”    What came of that daily prayer, and the patience of his loving wife… was the opportunity to go into drug treatment facilities, sober living centers, and intensive outpatient programs and “facilitate” / “teach” / “coach” others in his version of recovery.   **It’s time for that desperately sought after solo Target run.. Grab your keys and let’s go for a drive... There’s no judgment (or breathalyzer) at this Sobriety Checkpoint.** . . . . . .
