Byron Thompson is the director of the Milwaukee chapter of The Phoenix, a national organization focused on physical fitness in recovery. He's also the owner of Rebound Recovery House, and as of the date this episode drops, the owner of 22 years of sobriety.
Byron graciously went back to some dark places to share his story - something he hasn't done "in a minute." But we mostly keyed his turning point, and the amazing things he's doing in the community today.
