A Big Announcement With Stacey

Positively Undefeated

In this episode, we dive into the mission of our not-for-profit organization Even One Less, focused on suicide prevention and mental health awareness. We invite listeners to visit our website and join us at our upcoming mixer event to support the cause. Joined by my wife Stacy, we discuss the 75 Hard Challenge, sharing our personal experiences and struggles. I explain how I attempted the challenge multiple times but struggled with the rule of not drinking. Strategically planning my completion of the challenge around my one-year anniversary of sobriety proved to be crucial for success.
