Today we're learning from Tim Stoddart. As the CEO of Stodzy Inc. and partner in Copyblogger, Tim teaches people how to create multiple streams of income. Tim is also an addiction recovery advocate and the owner of Sober Nation, a platform that helps people find help, get sober, and start their recovery.

On today's episode, Tim shares his story of growing up in Philly, getting sober, and how writing in secret exploded into a career.

Key takeaways:

  • Why sobriety must take priority over everything else.
  • Tim's fresh start moving from Philly to Florida.
  • The tools Tim used to build his new life.
  • How a CD (remember those?) from Seth Godin led to Tim Stoddart's almost-accidental writing career.
