The Jaywalker Podcast

The Heart (and Start Up) of a Champion

At this year's Winter Leadership Summit in Snowmass, Dylan and KC sat down with Start Up Recovery founder  Gregg Champion. Gregg has a harrowing story of overcoming addiction and trauma and through the recovery process, and its application in all his affairs,  built a career as a successful film and television producer. He now has taken his experience as an entrepreneur in recovery and  turned it into his Start Up Recovery programs in Los Angeles. It's a remarkable and inspiring story and a good reminder that life doesn't stop when we put down the substance down- it launches.
