Today's guest, Carter Pope Jr. is the co-founder and CEO of Creekside Recovery Group, which includes three sober living accommodations in Georgia and Florida as well as a wide range of addiction and mental health treatment programs.
In today's episode, Carter opens up about his personal struggles with addiction and how they led to his downward spiral and "rock bottom" moment, but also to his recovery and ultimately launching his heart-centered, purpose-filled business.
After receiving the treatment and help he needed, Carter has now found a deeply fulfilling life that he previously never thought was possible.
