In Jeff's words: On 10/4/16, our oldest son, Seth died from a heroin overdose. Battling alcoholism, past gambling addictions, divorce and now losing a child seemed to push me to the brink. Today at 55 years old I stand a better man.
I will tell you how I did this and what I discovered along the way. All the while building and running a multi-million dollar business. Death can be a very efficient teacher and I am very grateful for what it has offered to me in the form of gratitude, compassion and love. I am no victim, just the contrary.
My name is Jeff Johnston. I am 55 years old and own a wealth management firm located in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. After the death of our oldest son, Seth, at the age of 23 to a heroin overdose in 2016, I decided I would honor him in the only way I knew how.
I stopped drinking, wrote a book called, This One’s For You: An Inspirational Journey Through Addiction Death and Meaning, formed a non-profit, The Choices Network, Ltd. and founded The Living Undeterred Project. I am just getting started.
3 top tips
1. Pain is unavoidable, suffering is a choice

Tuesday Jun 15, 2021
Dr. Angela Wilson is a COVID 19 mind power and mental health educator, consultant, trainer and coach, serial entrepreneur, celebrity interviewer, humanitarian activist, global peace & civility ambassador, animal welfare advocate, certified training provider, international speaker, author, actress, and more.
She has mentored religious leaders, and their disciples coached spiritual masters and gurus. She consulted members of the most powerful family in political history.
In her own words: While most of us live in COVID19 Pandemic fear and uncertainty about one's future, I have over the last forty years generated mind power to live beyond earth's misery. The awakening moment at age six guided me towards what humanity is truly looking for but is afraid to find - the battlefield of power.
My early success allowed me to invest over one million US dollars in the past decades, researching the hidden invisible forces that drive successful aspiring individuals with super mental strength to a tragic end through unsolved emotional and mental health issues.
3 top tips for my audience:
1. The unconscious mind is power battlefield
2. Taking ownership of our mind-power is the path to liberty from our mind-prison
3. Any unsolved emotional and mental health issues can drive us to a tragic ending

151 Janet Gourand: Tribe Sober - Inspiring a life without alcohol
Saturday Jun 12, 2021
Saturday Jun 12, 2021
I have the pleasure of talking to Janet Gourand, the founder of Tribe Sober. In Janet's words:
Tribe Sober’s mission is to inspire an alcohol-free life.
Over the last 5 years, we have built a community of people who are changing their relationship
with alcohol. We have sober people, people who are struggling, people who are well on their way and
of course newbies. The beautiful thing is we are all helping each other to get (or stay) on track.
We provide workshops, coaching and challenges – but most of all we offer community.
Connection is the opposite of addiction and that’s why having a tribe works so well.
Our community is based on a membership program that offers a Chatroom, a Zoom Cafe, Sober Buddies, a Library, a Yoga Studio, Nutritional and Medical advice – and much more...

The Addicted Child is a parent’s guide to adolescent substance abuse. It guides parents through the maze of teen addiction and gives them a roadmap to help their child through the diagnosis, treatment and recovery process.
In Rick's words:
I have worked with adults and adolescents diagnosed with psychiatric and substance abuse disorders. I recently retired from Menninger Clinic in Houston Texas which is one of the nation’s top ten psychiatric hospitals. While at Menninger I worked with adults and adolescents diagnosed with psychiatric and substance use disorders.
Rick's 3 top tips
1. Mental health issues and substance abuse often accompany each other. It is important that both be treated. A treatment plan that addresses only the substance abuse but ignores the mental health issues is a treatment plan that is likely to fail
2. When a child is abusing alcohol or drugs it's important that parents obtain a comprehensive assessment that focuses not just on the substance use but also any accompanying mental health issues. The assessment must be comprehensive and address medical, psychological and addictions issues
3. Parents should carefully monitor their child and be aware of any changes they see. It’s important that parents stay tuned to changes in their child’s behaviours, attitudes, school performance and peers. Changes in these can sometimes signal a child who may be using substances.
