》》About The Host, Angie Manson:

Entrepreneur in Addiction Treatment, CrossFitter, Podcast Host, and Power Mom! Going Rogue is how I’ve made it this far in life and has been my mantra. Sometimes you’ve got to break some rules or ruffle some feathers to get anything truly meaningful done. It has served me well in my career and in helping me overcome challenges. Passion Turned Into Profession…CEO of Elevate Addiction Services I’ve worked in alcohol and drug rehabilitation full-time for over 28 years. I came into this industry after my own life had taken a turn and I was facing 10 years in prison, only to have been given a chance at rehab first. I saw what addiction could do to my life and that I was one of so many struggling with the same issue. I also saw how effective rehab could completely turn someone’s life around. After I got clean, I started helping others and have never looked back!
