Welcome back to The Pretty Intense Podcast. Our guest today is author, personal trainer, and podcast host Doug Bopst. Doug is an inspirational story about survival and transformation. Author of "From Felony To Fitness To Free", Doug takes us through his childhood trauma, which lead to self soothing with drugs. Doug goes deep into his addiction stories, that landed him eventually in jail. Jail was the best thing that could have happened to Doug. Jail was where he found his purpose in life. We are all a decision away from another life, and it was in jail, that Doug made the right decision. We hope you enjoy this inspiring talk with Doug Bopst.
