After losing a father, getting deep into drugs and alcohol, and finding no hope in school or life, life seemed pointless. Though, after experiencing genuine people and help at a treatment center, there was a sense of hope that began to grow. From a kid who flunked out of college, became an addict, and lost a parent, to someone who is more than their struggles and who can make a better name for themself. That’s the life-changing effect that a sober living center can have on many men and women, which is why Jack and Zack decided to pay that forward and do their part in their own town.
Owners of Hyperion Sober Living, Jack Shain and Zach Young, both have similar backgrounds that brought them together but their journey’s there were a bit different. Jack went on to college, eventually flunking out due to drinking and partying, while Zack on the other hand didn’t go to college and pursued construction and drugs instead. Jack ended up going on to become a Certified Alcohol & Drug Counselor and Zack continued to recover while working in treatment centers. It wasn’t until a treatment event where Jack shared his recovery story and how he lost his father at 16, that brought them two together, as Zack had a similar story with losing his father at a young child. Fast forward to today, they now own a sober living 12-step program where they give back, helping men live a life they never thought possible.
In this episode of Success is Subjective, Jack and Zack join Joanna to share their journey going from losing their fathers, struggling in school, and ending up in rehab, to go on to make a better name for themselves and use their recovery experience to help others in recovery. Listen in on how Jack and Zack’s journey’s intertwined along the way, allowing them to come together and start Hyperion Sober Living.
