Great Exercise for Finding Your "Why". Share Your #1 Challenge.

I felt a little burn-out from the first burst of episodes and had to figure out how to do this sustainably. But now happy to be back. This episode discusses two motivational songs and I highlight a great exercise I learned about via Simon Sinek's appearance on NPR's "How I Built This" for identifying your core values in the world - a key tool to help identify your motivation in recovery. Also discuss the recent online Startup Weekend event I got to emcee and how the tools we used at that event could be used for building dynamic online recovery communities.
