Welcome to the Inner Edison Podcast, where we dive deep into stories of resilience, personal growth, and overcoming challenges. In this episode, we have the honor of hearing from the incredible Dave Albin, who shares his journey of transformation through Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and his mission to help veterans. Dave opens up about his dark moments, feeling suicidal before finding solace and support in AA. With gratitude in his heart, he speaks about the love and camaraderie he received from his fellow AA members. Dave proudly celebrates his recent milestone of 35 years of sobriety, a testament to his strength and commitment. Raised by a single mother who played an integral role in the war effort, Dave's upbringing wasn't easy. However, he developed entrepreneurial skills early on, starting small businesses and displaying a tenacious spirit. Unfortunately, his life took a downward spiral due to addiction, leading to failed relationships and a desperate attempt to end it all. But Dave's path took a transformative turn when he reached out to Alcoholics Anonymous and found support from a person named Lauren. Through AA meetings and the guidance of his fellow members, Dave began his journey to recovery. It was during this time that he came across Tony Robbins, initially skeptical of his messages but ultimately finding inspiration in Robbins' teachings. Dave took a leap of faith and invested in Robbins' Personal Power program, which ignited his passion for personal growth. Today, he combines his military background with his newfound knowledge to create a rite of passage called the "do no Harm firewalk" for veterans. As a firm believer in the power of reaching out for help, Dave highlights the urgency in addressing the high rate of veteran suicides. During our conversation, Dave challenges our audience to let go of excuses and change their stories to create a better life. Drawing inspiration from individuals like blind climber Eric Weinmeyer and the daring acts he has learned, Dave encourages us to push through our self-imposed limitations and embrace our potential. In addition to his work with veterans, Dave is a member of Rotary and is actively involved in efforts to support and uplift this community. With plans to donate $25,000 to multiple veteran organizations through Rotary, Dave is determined to make a difference in the lives of those who have served our country. Join us in this powerful conversation as Dave Albin shares his incredible journey of resilience, overcoming addiction, and bringing together companies and organizations to save veterans' lives.
