Honored to sit down with Al Richards on my Beliefcast!

 

Al is an Internationally Certified Crisis & Recovery Coach, host of The Other Side of Addiction Podcast, and Co-Founder of the Healing Utah Success Summit. His story isn’t just about surviving addiction, it’s about rising stronger through it.

 

After losing a 24-year career, battling addiction, walking alongside a spouse struggling with alcoholism, enduring a below-the-knee amputation, and then losing his wife just weeks later… Al has lived through heartbreak that most couldn’t imagine.

 

But through faith, resilience, and learning to harness his emotions, he discovered light in the darkest of places. Today, Al shares his journey to remind others that they are not alone and that transformation is possible no matter how far down they’ve gone.

 

This conversation is filled with wisdom, lived experience, and powerful reminders of what it means to never give up.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
