From ages 15 to 35, in the world of work, Roger was a very high functioning drug addict. However, eventually he discovered that although \u201cThe Wolf of Wall Street\u201d lifestyle was good for a while, it inevitably became unsustainable, and he found himself at rock bottom thinking about taking his life. Today, Roger Smith has become for many of us that \u201clight at the end of the tunnel.\u201d There is hope for the lost, the self-destructive, the addict, and the homeless. Roger\u2019s life demonstrates what a person can do with a vision, compiled productivity, and an unwavering commitment to caring about the people he works with and the ones that work for him. As it turns out, Roger and I have many things in common and I can\u2019t wait to chat for a while about how he went from Rock Bottom to Rock Star CEO. With that, let\u2019s bring Roger on the show.
