An Inspiration for Change
Today on our Sober Podcast, Jesse Harless joins us from downtown New Hampshire! Jesse has a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and currently facilitates extensive training courses for addiction professionals to become facilitators themselves!
The Fentanyl crisis in 2017 inspired Jesse to leave his long-time position with a major corporation to do an immense career change which led him to working as an addiction professional.

He released his book, ‘IF NOT YOU, THEN WHO?’ in February 2021, and shares his experiences that helped induce positive change while writing.
