#202 Mental Health, Business Growth & Community Leadership

In Episode 202, we sit down with Domingo Cruz, President of the Englewood Chamber of Commerce and Founder of Rooted 303, a community-driven nonprofit helping people reclaim their lives from addiction, mental health struggles, and generational challenges. Domingo shares his powerful personal story—growing up in deep poverty and addiction, and how a life-changing mentorship moment with a 14-year-old kid shifted the entire trajectory of his life. From corporate America to faith to launching Rooted 303, Domingo’s journey is a blueprint for leaders who want to build impact-driven organizations. In this episode, you’ll learn: ✅ Why mental health and substance recovery need more community-based solutions ✅ How Rooted 303 helps people reclaim their lives through coaching, counseling & support groups ✅ The truth about the homelessness and addiction crisis (and why housing alone isn’t the solution) ✅ How businesses can get involved and make an impact through partnerships & sponsorships ✅ Why joining your local Chamber of Commerce can accelerate growth, visibility, and relationships Domingo’s story is not just about recovery, it’s about leadership, community, and building organizations that last. 👉 Learn more about Rooted 303 and get involved: https://rooted303.org/  📌 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and hit the bell icon so you don’t miss future episodes! ⏱️ Timestamps04:00 From Poverty & Addiction to Purpose15:00 Rooted 303: Helping People Reclaim Their Lives25:00 The Truth About Homelessness & Addiction45:00 Parenting, Faith & Generational Challenges01:10:00 Chambers of Commerce & Networking for Business Growth01:40:00 Leadership, Self-Care & Protecting Mental Health 🎟 New Event Coming Soon We’re leveling up.
