In my sobriety, I'm falling in love with the art of creating. And you know, looking back, it is a cop-out is exactly what it is, because now when I like put pen to paper, it comes out so much more authentic and raw instead of just trying to be like I don't know, cooler facing.
How do you turn personal tragedy into a mission for change? In this heartfelt episode of 'Get In The Herd AFTER HOURS', Alex Bond welcomes special guests Tom Herb and Jarrod Collier to share their incredible journeys from addiction to entrepreneurship. Tom opens up about the devastating loss of his brother Jimmy to an overdose in 2019. Determined to honor Jimmy's memory, Tom and his family founded Hoffa Beans, a coffee company dedicated to fighting addiction.
Every sale supports the Hoffa Foundation's efforts to combat substance abuse. Jarrod, on the other hand, found his path to entrepreneurship through sobriety. After six years of staying clean, he launched Strength In Time Clothing, a brand aimed at supporting those battling depression and addiction. Proceeds from his clothing line go back into the mental health community, creating a ripple effect of positive change.
Throughout the episode, Tom and Jarrod discuss the ups and downs of starting a business while coping with personal loss and recovery. They highlight the importance of surrounding oneself with positive influences and taking responsibility for one's choices. The conversation also touches on the impact of Covid-19 on their ventures and the invaluable support they've received from their communities. This episode is a moving testament to resilience, hope, and the transformative power of community support.
