Recovery Capital Research to Application
Tom Karl is the founder and CEO of R1 Learning. He founded R1 Learning as the result of his own experiences in addiction and recovery. The idea for the R1 Learning System and the Discovery Cards came to Tom following a relapse when he noted a lack of practical tools in addiction treatment settings.

Through R1, Tom’s goal is to put impactful self-discovery tools into the hands of individuals in recovery and empower them to change their lives.
