Passion Love Pursuit Podcast

Passion Love Pursuit Podcast is finally here!

 

Hello world! I'm your host Erica Lippy. 

 

I'm excited to be here and share this journey with you all. If you are like me; you are driven, curious, and passionate. We all could use a little inspiration, motivation, and encouragement. 

This podcast was inspired by my constant desire to grow, learn, and evolve as a person and share valuable conversations with others seeking the same. 

The very meaning of this Podcast is to evoke positive change in our lives so that we can become the best version of our authentic self. Which we then can live our lives more passionately and purposefully.

I'll bring on inspiring guests, some who are professionals in their field, some who are titans of their industry, and others that speak from life experience... meaning conversations that inspire us to be bold and build our inner landscape. 

This is a place to encourage us to BE and BECOME better daily.

Let's keep this pursuit in action!

Thank you for joining me on this journey. Now lets get to it!

X,

Erica Lippy

Zach Skow Of Marley's Mutts: Road To Recovery, Being Of Service, And Saving Dogs Lives

Nov 8, 2021

This episode is about an inspiring, heartfelt and miraculous story of Zach Skow, the founder of Marley’s Mutts and Pawsitive Change Program. Zach shares his battle with addiction, a life-threatening diagnosis, his process through recovery, and how he is now living in purpose and service for saving dogs and people.

At a young age Zach Skow struggled with self-love and acceptance, leading him down a dark path of drug and alcohol abuse. He hit rock bottom and was diagnosed with end-stage liver disease. With three months left to live, but six months of sobriety required to qualify for a transplant, it appeared to be a death sentence. But somehow he was able to find solace in his dogs, and pushed through. He got better, and afterward started Marley’s Mutts – a non-profit organization that rescues, rehabilitates, trains and re-homes death row dogs from Kern County’s high-kill animal shelters, which he still runs to this day. 

In this episode:

  • Zach drives deep into how his love for his dogs and their unwavering acceptance of him pulled him through the darkness and brought him back to life
  • Finding strength during suicidal thoughts
  • How connecting with a power greater than himself has helped him through adversities 
  • How he has been able to rebuild his life through sobriety and the service of others
  • Why Marley’s Mutts is not only an animal shelter, but is a positive force for change in the community
  • How the Pawsitive Change Prison Program works to take rescue dogs into local prisons to train with inmates and give both a second chance and much more

I hope you will be inspired, moved, and liberated by the impact and courage Zach shares with us today.
