#268 Today's Boondoggle Art, Faith, Sobriety, and Inspiration with Tommy Hollenstein

In this episode Bill talks with Spinal Cord Injury Survivor, Artist, and Inspiration, Tommy Hollenstein.
We talk about Tommy's days in BMX competitions, building bikes and skate boards, skating the infamous "toilet bowl" in Reseda California, getting into surfing and his love of that culture, transitioning to mountain biking before the tragic accident that left him paralyzed, his near death experience and given a second chance by God, and how art therapy became a part of his recovery.
We also talk about his battles with addiction, the importance of people places and things, becoming a cocaine dealer in a wheel chair and getting busted by the feds, his final surrender and the people who helped him in his early sobriety journey, how his former service dog Weaver helped to inspire his unique way of creating art work, building his art brand and hustling to get into galleries, some of his biggest supporters of his artwork including Slash from Guns N Roses, the work he now does to inspire children and members of the disabled community, and his continued growth in faith and relationship with God, plus so much more.
