Joshua T. Berglan's Gratitude:unfiltered

On this Gratitude:UnFiltered w/ host Joshua T Berglan…. Wyze Art was founded by Andrew Shorts, a recovering addict and retired professional skier. Born and raised in Jackson Hole, Andrew Shorts was brought up in a community built around skiing, athleticism, and partying. Andrew recognized at a young age he had a unrelenting passion for skiing, skateboarding, music, and art. Through his adolescence, he pursued competitive skiing, and skateboarding making podium and taking gold medals in local, regional and national events. When he wasn’t skiing or skateboarding, he was painting, and starting to build a name as an artist in the art scene of Jackson Hole, signing all of his works as Wyze. As the years went on, he began to struggle with anxiety, depression, and suicide, all of which were immensely exacerbated by his increasing use of drugs and alcohol. Taking hold of Andrew’s time and priorities, addiction flooded every corner of his life, until that seemed to be the only thing occupying Andrew’s mind. Th
