Jess Bousa’s life is the ultimate redemption story. He grew up with a rough childhood — his dad went to prison, his mom walked out, and he barely finished high school. Jess battled homelessness, addiction, stealing, and drug dealing, getting arrested 18 times before one final arrest landed him in jail for four months and into a rehab program that completely changed his life.
