“No Matter Where I Went, There I Was,” a powerful interview with author and entrepreneur Russell Powers #185

from Coffee in the Corral · host AJ

This week, I am incredibly honored and excited to share this episode, in which my friend and favorite barista, Russ Powers, shares his journey from self-destruction to redesigning his whole life.You won’t be disappointed. Russ opens up about his struggle with addiction that began as a child, lasted many years into adulthood, and eventually brought him to the brink of death. After he finally surrendered and decided to face the dark reality of his life, he slowly began learning a new way forward. Healing isn’t linear, and in Russ’s story, we learn that we can choose every day to continue rewiring our brains, or we can choose to live unaware and fall back into unhealthy patterns.This episode is well worth your time, and I enjoyed every single minute of this conversation. Russ is the real deal. This authentic, hopeful, truth-telling interview inspired and reminded me that we really can have the kind of life we want if we are willing first to believe and then start taking small steps toward the future we want. All the ways to connect with Russ!Contact Russ through his email at [email protected] Click the link below to purchase a copy of Russ’s book on Amazon today!
