Every so often, a story comes along that inspires the masses. This is true to the story and life of AA Co-founder Bill Wilson. Having struggled with addiction for a large part of his life, it took one conscious moment to flip the script and rewrite his narrative. Dive into this episode to hear Bill W Conscious Contact producer Jay Stinnett describe the life of Bill W, his evolution through consciousness and what part TM played in the later years of his life.

Conscious Contact: The Award-Winning Film on Paper,” is the culmination of over three decades of writing and presenting on Alcoholics Anonymous (A.A.) history, offering groundbreaking new perspectives on Bill Wilson’s spiritual evolution.
