On today's episode - I'm honored to be joined by registered associate marriage & family therapist, founding Drummer of Maroon 5, and author of his new book "Harder To Breathe":
Ryan Dusick
Ryan brings his unique journey as a successful creative person in recovery, as well as his many years of education and professional experience, to clients seeking help with their personal challenges. Ryan prefers to think of his work as a collaboration, in which he and his client work together to discover creative ways of addressing their issues, tailoring therapy to the distinctive needs of each individual.
As a life coach, Ryan brings his background of success in the fields of music, literature, and mental health advocacy. His work both as an individual and in creative collaboration lends itself well to fostering the talents and ambitions of other creative people looking for help and advice in finding their way.
Today we sit down to discuss Ryan's journey with Maroon 5, how he was able to fight through the darkest days of his life to now help some many people and much more
