The Message - Recovery and Redemption with Frederick Shegog
Show Notes

Dumpster diving, panhandling, and drinking were once everyday activities for Frederick Shegog. In his early twenties, he entered a spiral of addiction and untreated mental health that pulled him away from his childhood dreams. Despite a decade of alcohol abuse and time spent homeless, Shegog was able to transform himself into a graduate with high honors. Now, as a motivational speaker, he is on a mission to help others combat substance use disorder and mental health issues, especially in the black community.

This interview left me feeling hopeful and blessed to have the chance to meet and speak with people as inspiring as my new Friend Freddy. Check out all of his motivational speaker info at The Message LLC. I can't wait to see what he does next.
