Interview with Jesse Harless

As an entrepreneur in long-term recovery, I am passionate about helping people overcome obstacles and make choices that inspire them to live their best life.

I graduated from Rivier University with a Master's Degree in Mental Health Counseling in 2016, and I now live my purpose as a trainer, author, professional life coach, group empowerment facilitator and mentor for people in addiction recovery.

I am the founder of Entrepreneurs in Recovery™. I started Entrepreneurs in Recovery™ in 2017 as a way to transform the lives of 5000 men and women in addiction recovery through one-on-one coaching, facilitation, writing, and, speaking. I currently work with communities, addiction treatment centers and sober living facilities in the Northeast U.S. where I help facilitate change using my Entrepreneurs in Recovery™ workshops. I'm a L.E.A.F. Certified Practitioner with a deep passion to bring out the best in any individual, team, community, or system. You can learn more about my facilitation training at RecoveryFacilitation.com

My recovery story started in 2005 when I was arrested. At 22 years old, I was looking at spending many years of my life in federal prison due to my addiction to heroin, cocaine, and prescription opioids. Facing serious consequences for my actions, I started to change my daily habits and get serious about my recovery. I eventually invested in a life coach and began surrounding myself with mentors.

This inspired me to transform from a life of addiction to one of fulfilling my purpose of becoming an Entrepreneur in Recovery™ and helping others to achieve their highest potential.

I recently published my first book, Smash Your Comfort Zone with Cold Showers.

​

In my book, you'll learn about...

​• Why you should give cold showers a try
• The research-backed advantages of cold showers
• How to overcome unwanted habits
• How to increase self-discipline and develop self-confidence
• How to conquer anxiety and reduce depression, and…
• How you can change your story by shattering self-imposed barriers.

​

This book is about much more than turning a handle while bathing. Smash Your Comfort Zone with Cold Showers is about reclaiming your life, your recovery, your self-confidence, and your potential.
