Why This Ad Performed 7x More Story Selling
My most successful experience by far was overcoming alcoholism and drug addiction. A lot of adversity in youth, not unlike anyone else, other people have had adversity, but the short story was when I was 22, both parents died five weeks apart. I was an only child. I was a mama's boy, very painful experience.
I went on a downward spiral of drugs and alcohol, put myself through a literal hell of. 2 comas, 6 overdoses. I was on death's door. That was the only option was death. It wasn't even prison or any of the other things that I, I would have been dead because of what I was doing to my body. It was, we would have been next overdose would have been it.
And the doctors were tired of it. And I finally decided to allow myself to accept love in my life from other people. But I got tired of feeling sorry for myself and let other people help me. I allowed others to help me. My ego was set aside and allowed others to help me to rise up from where I was. This is a hundred percent why I do what I do for, because for 10 years I spoke about my recovery and helping other people do the same as I did.
And that is what spawned my career as a speaker, going out and sharing recovery in the faith that I found in something that was much greater than me in order to share my message everywhere I go. And I've been. Very very blessed to be able to share that message in 60 countries. Now, 60 countries, there's something that's gone into my years on the platform.
I've been able to work with some of the biggest names in the world.
How lucky I am to impact other people. It is a gift!
