Clean and Sober. Now How Do You Get a Job? | Shayne Weister

You did the hardest thing already. You got clean. But then you're standing there thinking, all I've known is drugs. How do I even get a job? That's the conversation here. Shayne Weiser knows the work of rebuilding from the ground up. As a young man, legal trouble and a string of bad choices stopped his life cold, and he climbed back from ten dollars an hour into a successful business and a life of purpose. We get practical. Why your first job doesn't have to be your forever job. Why fourteen dollars an hour beats zero. How to find a mentor and what to actually look for in one. Vocational training, entry-level work, and why companies with real accountability are worth starting at. And the mindset shift underneath all of it, that failure isn't terminal, and the right people in proximity can pull you up to a level you can't reach alone. We also get into his own story, from losing his license in 1997 to building Glory Ridge Farm out of a thousand dollars and three beehives, and the moment he stopped seeing himself as a failure. If you're fresh out of a program wondering what comes next, or you love someone who is, this one's for you.
