“I’m not trying to rewrite my past. I’m working every day to outlive it — with purpose.”

— Wess Burgner

Media & Speaking

For media inquiries, interviews, podcast appearances, or speaking engagements, this is the place. I share openly about addiction, recovery, family, and what it means to build a life of purpose after falling hard. I welcome the chance to speak with communities, organizations, and audiences who believe in second chances.

Speaking Topics Include:

  • From Rock Bottom to Law School: A Journey of Accountability

  • Parenting Through Redemption

  • Building a Nonprofit from Pain & Purpose

  • Addiction, Accountability Court, and the Power of Voluntary Change

  • Giving Children of Addicted Parents a Voice

Thank you for stopping by. This site — and the work I’m doing — is personal. So are the messages I receive. I’ll respond as soon as I can.
