I never knew that stepping across a bed of hot coals could illuminate the path to self-discovery until I met Dave Albin, America's top firewalk instructor.Be sure to check out his website at http://www.firewalkadventures.com/ His story of transformation and his mission to help those who have walked through the fires of life—veterans, first responders, single mothers, and abused children—is nothing short of awe-inspiring. Join us as Dave takes us through his journey, revealing how he uses firewalking to ignite change and resilience in others. Through Operation Do No Harm, he's teaching people to walk through flames and carry their newfound strength into every aspect of their lives.My tale intertwines with Dave's as I peel back the layers of my past, uncovering the roles of mentorship, identity struggles, and the battle with addiction. The path wasn't always clear; some moments could've led to different outcomes. We talk about those life-altering turnabouts, like the revelation of my adoption at age 11 and how it sent ripples through my sense of self. We also touch on the beacon of hope that shined through the darkness—the principles and practices I discovered along the way, including Tony Robbins's profound influence and the sanctity found within the rooms of Alcoholics Anonymous.What's your 2% solution?
