Dr. Adi Jaffe grew up in Tel Aviv, and when he moved to the US he had some challenges assimilating and figuring his life out. This led to drugs, alcohol, and a swat team arriving at his door. His story reads just like a movie, and because of that, I don’t want to spoil the ending for you. You’ll just want to hear it for yourself.

In This Conversation We Cover: 

• [03:46] The difference between the US and Tel Aviv
• [08:55] How Adi’s upbringing impacted him emotionally
• [15:12] How Adi became a drug dealer and addict
• [26:00] The motorcycle accident that led to police intervention
• [33:48] When the SWAT team rushed Adi’s apartment
• [40:34] How much time Adi had to serve
• [45:58] How jail led to a sense of gratitude, empathy, and understanding
