ESP Ep. 20 Christopher Mancino (Part 1)
Chris Mancino is an extraordinary individual with a powerful story of tragedy, addiction, redemption, trials and triumphs. Chris’ testimony is a reminder of the frailty and uncertainty of life, but also the power of perspective and personal growth. In this episode we discussed Chris’ upbringing, why dramatic testimonies seem to be the most interesting, our proclivity to certain vises, the importance of personal agency, how family support saves lives, what it feels like to spiral out of control, being homeless in San Francisco, the path to recovery and much more. We really enjoyed this discussion which will be Part 1 of 2 with Chris (Part 2 Releases Next Week 9/30) and we hope you get as much out of it as we did. Enjoy!
