Why the Greatest Privilege and Responsibility of All is Serving Others with Dr. Jason Z. Powers

It’s a brand new year, so what better time to introduce a brand new season of Positive Recovery MD? To kick off 2023, we are flipping the script and have a surprise host in store for you!


You may know Dr. Jason Powers, M.D., MAPP, as the creator of the Positive Recovery approach, the Chief Medical Officer at Positive Recovery Centers, the Author of Positive Recovery Daily Guide, and the Co-Host of Positive Recovery MD. But this week, Dr. Powers is switching seats as George Joseph, CEO of Positive Recovery Centers, takes on the role of Podcast Host to interview Dr. Powers about his life, career, and heart behind serving others. 


Dr. Jason Powers resides in Houston with his wife and three children and is a member of the Editorial Board of Addiction Prevention and Treatment Magazine. He has also blogged for Huffington Post and Psychology Today and is also the Author of When the Servant Becomes the Master, an A-to-Z guide to all things related to addiction. Dr. Powers is board-certified in Family Medicine and Addiction Medicine and received a Masters in Positive Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Powers has been recognized as one of Houston’s “Top Doctors” 6 times by H Texas Magazine and was awarded the Compassion Award by Sierra Tucson. 


Throughout their discussion, George and Dr. Powers discuss the importance of creating a culture of service, the power of positive psychology, and the interconnectedness of human connection (and our beloved pets!).


Topics Discussed:


• The gift of meeting people where they’re at and speaking their language

• Why effective communication is key to building quality relationships

• The heart behind “Making Everything Matter”

• Recognizing love and connection as the opposite of addiction
