    Troy Kearns had hit rock bottom. His alcohol use was keeping him from reaching his full potential, so he decided to drop it and begin a new lifestyle. Already successful in the radio advertising field, then later as a real estate agent, he used these high income skillsets to earn as much money as possible. Now with a great income, and no alcohol to spend it on, he knew he had to invest it somewhere.
