## Resource

This week on Talk About It with Franjez Podcast, host Franjez sits with Dave Reggina, founder of Ace and author of “30 Lessons to Lead.” Dave opens up about growing up between Mount Vernon and Greenwich, battling Crohn’s disease as a teen, his mother’s 28 year struggle with addiction, and the affair that led him back into therapy and eventually into a life of faith. Dave also shares how podcasting changed his life, how he got sober two and a half years ago, the meditation that led to writing his book during a five day water fast, and what he is building now with Ace, a leadership training company for men. A raw conversation on pain, purpose, and personal growth. #TalkAboutItWithFranjez #DaveReggina #SobrietyJourney #FaithAndPurpose
