In this special episode of Jim Fielding and Friends, Jim is joined by fellow author Bruce Brackett!

Bruce W. Brackett is a social media personality, author, entrepreneur, self-taught visual artist, and international motivational speaker. His book, “How to Breathe While Suffocating: A Story Of Overcoming Addiction, Recovering From Trauma and Healing My Soul” published by Wiley is now available everywhere books are sold.

Bruce sits down with Jim to discuss his new book and explore what he is looking to achieve with his story. They also dive into the experiences within the book and how Bruce began his journey in sobriety and more broadly, his journey to helping others in similar situations.

Additionally, they discuss the mechanical experience of writing a book (and the challenges therein), how Bruce got the idea (and got started) and most importantly: the biggest lessons from the book and why you should read it.
