Lance Essihos. What to Do When Life Gets Hard. Episode 390 with The Real Brad Lea (TRBL) - a podcast by Brad Lea: CEO, Entrepreneur, and Host of The Bottom Line

Lance has faced some of life's most difficult challenges. Grinding his way through the hockey ranks to traveling the world as a bartender. Through his personal battle with drugs and alcohol for well over a decade, the tragic loss of his brother to suicide followed by the great loss of his father to cancer only a year later, Lance realized he had hit rock bottom. In the darkest of days, he made a promise to himself that he would create a new life.
