Welcome back to Ambitious Addicts! We were on hiatus for awhile as Terra focused on growing her recruiting and coaching business, but we're back. We're calling this our "relaunch" episode. Kicking us off is guest Kirk Klocke, who will serve as Ambitious Addicts' new producer, allowing Terra to focus her energy on hosting.

Kirk Klocke joins Ambitious Addicts having edited podcasts and written for numerous clients and media outlets. He too is in recovery. This episode starts with Terra providing a quick overview of her origin story related to recovery. Kirk and Terra then switch chairs, and Terra interviews Kirk about his recovery, dating back to that first drink, all the way through the present.

If you're new to Ambitious Addicts, with some exceptions, we will primarily focus on stories of women in recovery -- what life was like then, what happened, and what life is like now. We're particularly interested in women who have created a highly successful "second act" for themselves in recovery. Our guests have included speakers, authors, and businesswomen.

Do YOU know someone who has an amazing story of recovery? We'd love to hear from them. Email us at terra@ambitiousaddicts.com with the details, and we'll be in touch.

This episode was hosted by Terra Carbert, a Twin Cities based executive recruiter and life coach. It was produced by Kirk Klocke. Guest engineering was provided by Mike Frigon.
