## Resource

In episode 347, I speak with author, speaker, and hope giver, Andrew Drasen. Andrew is the author of A Vision of Hope and the creator of a 90-day framework that helps people discover identity, clarify direction, and build purpose-driven lives. For years, Andrew’s life was defined by addiction. Heroin consumed his twenties, leading to overdoses, treatment programs, and prison sentences. But in those quiet moments behind bars, he realized that if he could write his way toward clarity, maybe others could read their way toward hope. That realization became the foundation of his work today. It was the identity work that changed his life and now it's his mission is to help people see not just who they are, but who they can become — transforming pain into growth and purpose. This is an inspiring podcast, not to be missed.
