I Was an Addicted Dealer — Prison Changed My Life | Steve Fusco

Steve Fusco grew up in Connecticut, raised by a single mom and a solid support system—but teenage trouble sent him to military school. In college, experimentation turned into using and selling drugs, a slide into addiction, and multiple arrests. After failing to get clean, Steve was sentenced to 2 years in Connecticut state prison—the wake-up call that changed everything. Inside, he rebuilt from the ground up. Today he’s sober, a successful business owner, and on a mission to show what redemption really looks like. #AddictionRecovery #Sobriety #RedemptionStory #PrisonStories #SecondChances #TrueCrime #EntrepreneurLife #connecticut Connect with Steve Fusco: http://Rejoicerestore.com Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ Presented by Tyson 2.0 & Wooooo Energy: https://tyson20.com/ https://woooooenergy.com/ Use code LOCKEDIN for 20% OFF Wooooo Energy Buy Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction & Guest Background 02:10 Childhood, Family, and Early Influences 05:52 School Years and Beginning of Trouble 09:08 Military School and College Aspirations 13:13 College Years and Exposure to Drugs 18:14 Path to Addiction & Early Drug Dealing 24:02 Addiction, Career Attempts & Downward Spiral 30:37 Peak Drug Dealing & Double Life 37:15 Cycles of Recovery, Addiction, and Jail 42:08 Rock Bottom: Prison and the Wake-Up Call 46:44 Life Inside Prison and Rebuilding 51:20 Programs, Hope, and New Mindsets 01:00:46 Reentry: Starting Over and Business Journey 01:07:02 Finding Purpose: Relationships and Faith 01:10:53 Servant Leadership & Uplifting Others 01:13:03 Advice, Reflection & Closing Thoughts Learn more about your ad choices.
