ABOUT BRENT
FROM CHAINS TO CHANGED
Brent Wright is recognized for his inspiring journey, which has transformed him from a 23-year battle with addiction to an athlete, motivational speaker, and author. His story transcends mere survival; it’s about rising from the ashes to become a voice of truth, hope, and resilience for others navigating the same path. Clean and sober since July 21, 2010, Brent shares his narrative in schools, on stages, and within communities to demonstrate that redemption is achievable. Ultimately, his most significant reward lies in preventing others from ever experiencing addiction.
Renowned for his raw and powerful storytelling, Brent embodies a no-excuse approach to life after addiction. He actively works to enhance all aspects of life—physical, mental, and spiritual—and takes his responsibility to lead by example seriously. As a fitness advocate, he embraces challenges and goals that push his physical limits, understanding that mental toughness is cultivated through confronting difficult situations. He believes that discomfort breeds resilience and promotes reliance on God—a lesson he learned early in his recovery.
Brent is currently writing a second book focused on recovery. Through sharing stories from his own life, he aims to teach others about the process of rebuilding and healing while also challenging and teaching family members and friends of addicts. Additionally, he hopes to launch an online recovery course in the future. An entrepreneur at heart, he aspires to create a sober living apparel line as well.
