Ep. 892 Best of August | Rob and Anissa Elsey

August has been a month filled with incredible guests and inspiring conversations. On this episode of our "best of" series, we highlight Joel's conversation with Rob and Anissa Elsey. Rob and Anissa Elsey each built successful careers in their own right, but a first-hand experience with addiction helped them realize a higher calling as recovery philanthropists. The result was In the Name of GRACE, a non-profit that affords safe, sober housing - and the opportunity for change - to people recovering from substance abuse. By removing the stigma comes hope, the most powerful antidote to the heartbreak that is addiction.
