S1E2 - Meet Russel- Student

Russell's life took a dramatic turn when he boarded a plane from Toronto to the John Volken Academy, guided by his mother's advice.

Nearly two years into the Academy's rigorous 24-month recovery program, Russell opens up about his struggles with addiction and the path to rebuilding his life.

He vividly recalls the last time he saw his dad, a memory that fuels his determination to turn things around. Through the Academy's focus on Mind, Body, and Spirit, Russell has found a community that supports him and business ventures that give him purpose. His story is a powerful reminder that it's never too late to start anew.

If you're seeking inspiration or searching for a beacon of hope in the battle against addiction, Russell's journey at John Volken Academy offers a compelling narrative of resilience and recovery.
