Episode 115 - From an Alcoholic in the Military to a CEO —Tripp Johnson

What if what everyone else expects of you or what you think will make them happy or proud, doesn’t make you happy and proud too in the end? Tripp Johnson is the co-founder and CEO of Green Hill Recovery, a transitional living program in Raleigh, North Carolina and the founder of AIM: Advaita Integrated Medicine, an interdisciplinary psychiatric and primary care practice also located in Raleigh. Tripp’s journey started nowhere near where he is today. He started his young adulthood journey in the military and quickly found himself on a downhill trek with alcohol, coming very close to being kicked out. After a hopeless phone call made to his dad one night, Tripp decided to take his advice and try meditating. From there, Tripp began to grow more and better himself. Following the military, he still wasn’t sure where he was meant to be but decided to give law school a try as he figured it out. During his time there, he co-founded Greenhill recovery and eventually dropped out of school to go all in with the treatment program, and he hasn’t looked back since.In this episode of Success is Subjective, Tripp joins Joanna to share his journey going from an alcoholic in the military to a CEO. Instead of living a life focused on making others happy, leaving himself unhappy, he now prioritizes living a life where he takes care of himself well while also helping young adults in recovery do the same.
