Paul is the current CEO of Step Denver (@StepDenver_CO), a recovery and rehabilitation facility for men located in Denver, Colorado. Beyond his professional credits, Paul’s personal story puts him in a highly qualified position for this job, as someone who suffers from the ‘Disease of Addition,’ as he defines it, and has lived on the streets for a period of two years before finding recovery. In our conversation, we discuss the current homelessness crisis in Denver and throughout the United States, whether today’s drug availability makes the situation worse than it was in the past, what are the root causes of today’s homelessness crisis, what is the “Compassionate” thing to do to treat the homeless, what is Step Denver’s rehabilitation methodology, its measures for success, and much more. Paul was gracious enough to host us in his office and share his personal story and his thoughts about the crisis. For his honesty and openness, I would really like to thank him. Hope you will enjoy this conversation.
