🎙️ Jason Russ is a lifelong musician and extreme sports enthusiast. His experiences with alcoholism and drug addiction led to the destruction of his material life and most of his relationships, as well as the near loss of his own life.
Jason's life changed forever when he fell in love with recovery and sobriety, which helped him complete a motorcycle trip across the Americas.
We talk about:
- Jason’s early dedication to extreme sports
- The onset and progression of alcoholism and addiction
- What addiction feels like and how it felt against his will
- The experience that shifted Jason’s life and led him to recovery
- Finding spirituality and a greater power that led to sobriety
- Reckoning with holding privilege while also being an addict
- A 2 year, 74,000-mile motorcycle trip across 17 countries
- Finding an energy greater than himself every day in recovery
