Turning Laughing into Healing with Patrick Leborio Labeled the "Funniest Hawaiian on Earth" by L.A. Weekly, Patrick Leborio has made people laugh across all continents for the last 30 years through Stand-Up, T.V., and the Big Screen. But life hasn't always been a laughing matter for Patrick. At 14, Patrick found himself addicted to drugs and alcohol. An addiction that would last well over a decade until one day, he woke up out of money, out of friends, and completely at rock bottom. Knowing he needed to make a change, or he wouldn't live much longer, out of desperation, Patrick went with another comedian friend to a meeting and has been sober ever since. Now 21 years sober and the co-founder of LAFFBIG, Patrick spends his days working with others, trying to fight their addictions and find sobriety. He has traded in his addictions for a love of long-distance hiking, boogie boarding, and spending time with family and his girlfriend, Rebecca. He is currently writing a book/manual on breath works. Listen in as Patrick and I discuss how hitting rock bottom saved his life, his passion for helping others fight addiction through laughter, and what led him to find his way to FEARLESS HAPPYNESS!
