Interview with Jesse Harless

As an entrepreneur in long-term recovery, I am passionate about helping people overcome obstacles and make choices that inspire them to live their best life.I graduated from Rivier University with a Master's Degree in Mental Health Counseling in 2016, and I now live my purpose as a trainer, author, professional life coach, group empowerment facilitator and mentor for people in addiction recovery.I am the founder of Entrepreneurs in Recovery™. I started Entrepreneurs in Recovery™ in 2017 as a way to transform the lives of 5000 men and women in addiction recovery through one-on-one coaching, facilitation, writing, and, speaking. I currently work with communities, addiction treatment centers and sober living facilities in the Northeast U.S. where I help facilitate change using my Entrepreneurs in Recovery™ workshops. I'm a L.E.A.F. Certified Practitioner with a deep passion to bring out the best in any individual, team, community, or system. You can learn more about my facilitation training at RecoveryFacilitation.comMy recovery story started in 2005 when I was arrested. At 22 years old, I was looking at spending many years of my life in federal prison due to my addiction to heroin, cocaine, and prescription opioids. Facing serious consequences for my actions, I started to change my daily habits and get serious about my recovery. I eventually invested in a life coach and began surrounding myself with mentors. This inspired me to transform from a life of addiction to one of fulfilling my purpose of becoming an Entrepreneur in Recovery™ and helping others to achieve their highest potential.I recently published my first book, Smash Your Comfort Zone with Cold Showers.​In my book, you'll learn about...​• Why you should give cold showers a try• The research-backed advantages of cold showers• How to overcome unwanted habits• How to increase self-discipline and develop self-confidence• How to conquer anxiety and reduce depression, and…• How you can change your story by shattering self-imposed barriers.​This book is about much more than turning a handle while bathing.
