My Life Story
From Rock Bottom to Building an Empire
James Sweasy, a lifelong Louisville, Kentucky resident, faced addiction and alcoholism in his 20s and 30s, derailing his early business ventures. In 2013, he entered a homeless shelter and recovery program, where he spent a year rebuilding his life and met his wife, Alaina. In his first year of sobriety, someone asked James to speak at a local addiction recovery center, and he almost turned it down. After speaking for an hour in front of a standing-room-only audience, he thought he was done.
However, in the coming months, dozens of people asked him to speak all over the city of Louisville. James then took his message to social media, where hundreds of people, including celebrities, asked him to speak across the country. He has now turned his attention to using his message to inspire people from all walks of life, speaking for large corporations, small businesses, and anyone in need of an uplifting message. Today, James and Alaina are motivational speakers, entrepreneurs, and James is a co-founder of Impact Wellness Network, an Addiction Recovery Resource Center employing over 600 people. They currently live in Louisville with their daughters, Ashlynn and Avery.
