Failing Forward

Welcome to Failing Forward with Ados, a limited-run series featuring teens and young professionals with Cincinnati roots who have faced challenges, felt despair and then found a way forward. Our Ados series is hosted by Indian Hills High School junior Annie Schumann. On this episode, Annie interviews Jack Browner, a Cincinnati native who started experimenting with drugs and alcohol at age 13 and later began battling addiction and depression. Today, Jack has been sober for more than a year and tells us how his journey taught him to ask for help and be a beacon to his siblings and others. Are you or someone you know struggling with addiction?
