》》About Matt Blanchard:
Imagine a life-altering moment that flips your world upside down. In 2006, Matt faced one such moment: a rollover accident that left him paralyzed from the waist down. But this isn't just a story of adversity; it's a captivating story of resilience, redemption, and the unwavering belief that life happens for you, not to you. Throughout his journey, Matt has inspired numerous people as he ventured down the path from paralysis to purpose. He overcame a "T-12 complete" spinal cord injury and was able to walk once more due to daily therapy and unwavering determination.
However, his journey wasn't without its challenges. The strain of therapy led to an opiate addiction, which he bravely confronted. After eight years of sobriety, he faced another life-altering moment in February 2021—a head-on collision with a drunk driver on I-15. This resulted in another spinal injury, broken legs, and a fractured hip. His ability to walk was once again lost, and he battled painkiller dependence for a second time. Yet, he firmly believes that paralysis has allowed him to become the man he was always supposed to be.

》》About The Host, Angie Manson:
Entrepreneur in Addiction Treatment, CrossFitter, Podcast Host, and Power Mom! Going Rogue is how I’ve made it this far in life and has been my mantra. Sometimes you’ve got to break some rules or ruffle some feathers to get anything truly meaningful done. It has served me well in my career and in helping me overcome challenges. Passion Turned Into Profession…CEO of Elevate Addiction Services I’ve worked in alcohol and drug rehabilitation full-time for over 28 years. I came into this industry after my own life had taken a turn and I was facing 10 years in prison, only to have been given a chance at rehab first. I saw what addiction could do to my life and that I was one of so many struggling with the same issue. I also saw how effective rehab could completely turn someone’s life around. After I got clean, I started helping others and have never looked back!
