In this episode, we talked about mental health, addiction recovery, habits...
Chapter 1: Who is Tony Hoffman and what is his story?
You can have a desire to quit, but there has to be action that's followed up with it. And the only way that you can achieve that action or for that action to achieve what you want is to actually connect with people that have done it themselves. Right. We know that as business people. Right. If you want to make a million dollars, you better get around people that are making a million dollars.
You can get lucky. You can hard work yourself into a million dollars. And I've seen how that's kind of worked into my life. I can get to seven figures.
But seven figures on hard work alone isn't going to show me how to scale that seven figures into eight, how to make the proper investments, how to understand tax codes, how to make sure that I'm doing X, Y, and Z. Because I have to get around other millionaires to understand how that works.

All right, guys, special podcast day today. I got Tony Hoffman in the house. This guy is a little bit different than we normally talk about. He's been through a lot of life challenges. He's a pro at public speaking, mental health, and addiction recovery. And I know you're asking yourself, what does this have to do with home service?
Well, first and foremost, all of us are addicted to something, whether it's health, whether it's Netflix. It's just what are we going to be addicted to? Especially a lot of us have alcohol problems. A lot of us overdo it. We don't even realize we have a problem. And, you know, this isn't for everybody, but I'll tell you this.
We're going to talk a lot about business, public speaking, marketing yourself, becoming a marketer yourself, and a personal brand. But, Tony, it's a pleasure to have you here. I'm glad you made it into the place here. From prison to the Olympics, let's hear your story.

Chapter 2: How does Tony Hoffman describe his early life and struggles?
That's the deal with me.
We lost a thousand pounds last two months at A1.
I love that. So we have 18 clients at max right now. 18 clients at any given time. At any given time.
18 clients, one month program, two month program.
It's the first 30 days. So we're detox and stabilization. If you can't stop drinking and you're getting the shakes in the morning, you need detox. That means you're going to need medication when you stop drinking or you're going to seize up. Season up. You can die from alcohol withdrawals. Oh, yeah. Same with opioids and benzos. It's very dangerous.
So we have nurses, medical staff that are on site 24 hours a day. to make sure that they're getting their medications, their vitals are being checked on 15, 30 minute or one hour rounds. And they'll move on to aftercare typically after 30 days if their life allows them to do that, which would be more of an outpatient setting going for five days a week. There's a cost.
Yes.
So private insurance.
And so it's a government funded for 30 days?
