Sept. 30, 2021 – Hurt struggled with alcohol and drug addiction before finding a path to recovery and starting CLEAN Cause. His company gives half of its profits from every can sold to people recovering from addiction. “We had our 50% percent give back commitment before we had a brand name and before we had a product,” Hurt said.
Slade Skaggs is a recipient of one of more than 1,300 living sober scholarships CLEAN Cause has awarded in the Southwest region since inception. Many of those in Austin. “Being an opiate user was a lot of struggles, a lot of overdoses, and suicide attempts and a couple of heart attacks,” Skaggs said.
He is now the owner of Recovery Centered Living. “It’s been beautiful,” Skaggs said. He has gone on to open three sober living homes in the Austin area, with a fourth in the works.
