In this compelling episode of the Sober On Purpose podcast, host Tanya Gioia sits down with Chris Platow, a successful entrepreneur who has overcome significant personal challenges to achieve business success. Chris shares his remarkable journey, which serves as both a testament to personal growth and an inspiration to those battling addiction. Chris's story begins with his upbringing in a family deeply rooted in the tile industry.
With his father and other relatives being tile installers, Chris naturally gravitated towards this trade. He started working with his father at a young age, gaining valuable experience that would later serve as the foundation for his own business endeavors. However, the path to success was not straightforward. Chris candidly discusses his struggles with substance use during his youth, influenced by family habits.
He describes how smoking and drinking seemed normal within his community, leading him into a lifestyle that could have derailed his aspirations. A transformative moment came when Chris realized the responsibilities of fatherhood. This prompted a shift in his priorities, motivating him to take his business more seriously. With determination and resilience, he and his brother transitioned from a casual approach to a dedicated pursuit of business success.
Chris emphasizes the role of mental resilience and self-belief in overcoming challenges, whether in personal life or business. He attributes his success to a mindset focused on perseverance and the belief that he can overcome any obstacle. Throughout the episode, Chris offers advice to those facing addiction and encourages listeners to believe in their capabilities and not give up. He shares how personal growth and the support of family, especially mentorship from his father, have been instrumental in his journey.
As Chris continues to thrive, booking projects months in advance and expanding his business, his story serves as a beacon of hope for those struggling with addiction and seeking success. Join Tanya and Chris in this enlightening conversation that will inspire you to embrace change, pursue your dreams, and support those on their path to recovery.
