51 | How Alcohol Saved My Life with Aaron Gleadow

<p>You will be inspired by listening to <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/aaron-gleadow-6b1b80184/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Aaron Gleadow</a>&#39;s story on the <a href="www.gregkettner.com/podcast" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">WorkHappy Podcast</a>.</p> <p>We met when I was his ticket rep for the <a href="https://www.nhl.com/canucks" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Vancouver Canucks</a> and he was managing the <a href="https://thekeg.com/en" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Keg on Granville Island</a>. We became fast friends, watching hockey, hanging out and probably drinking too much. We continued our friendship until I got married and moved to the US.</p> <p>Thanks to LinkedIn, we reconnected when I got a random phone call from Aaron at SeaTac Airport on my way to share WorkHappy with ALSD in Las Vegas.</p> <p>We had plans to talk again in a week or so, and then I didn&#39;t hear from him for 4 or 5 months. I didn&#39;t know that he had checked into rehad to better himself so he could be fully present for himself and his boys. Aaron&#39;s purpose is to help others, like he got help himself. He has three wonderful boys, a very supportive partner and he loves his job. #workhappy </p> <p>Enjoy our conversation.
