4/8 Episode 195: Caylen B.
We welcomed Caylen to the family tonight. A sharp, quick-witted veteran who brings both experience and honesty to the mic as she shares her journey in recovery. A recovering meth addict, Caylen opens up about how this time feels different—not because the struggle has been easier, but because she’s finally addressing her mental health head-on. With insight beyond her time clean, she emphasizes that real recovery isn’t one-size-fits-all, and that each addict needs personalized, specialized support tailored to their substance and their story. Her authenticity, intelligence, and ability to find lightness in heavy moments make for an inspiring and relatable conversation that highlights both the challenges and hope found in starting over.
4/5 Episode 194: Happy Sober Easter
Smiles all around we merged holiday sized efforts and last-minute additions. The boys welcomed a former pro sports announcer who graciously shared his journey of overcoming alcoholism and celebrated 11 years of recovery with us. We were grateful for his time and insight. He reflected on the darkest moments of his addiction and the turning points that led him to recovery. Living the double life of a functioning alcoholic eventually cost him the very public job his identity was built upon. He found himself blacklisted after a illustrious 20 year career and he shared the success and victories that've come through over a decade of clarity. Perspective is essential for surviving addiction and it's the agent of true change. Recovery parallels the spirit of Easter—resurrection, growth, and new beginnings.
4/1 Episode 193: Where There's a Will
Will led both the opening and closing with confidence and ultimately stood out, while Steve continues to establish himself as a consistent presence. Bradley came in 3rd place. The episode leaned into a more candid, emotionally driven tone, extending beyond our typical one hour and fifteen minute target as we allowed the conversation to develop naturally. Tim, coming off a particularly long day, rounded out the group’s efforts. The team also made a concerted effort to use primarily royalty-free music, minus 3.6 seconds of the late Amy Winehouse and .3 seconds of Pink, who is alive. If you're reading this and still considering whether to skip this one, you probably should. If you're still undecided, may we humbly suggest skimming to Will's parts. Come on somebody.
3/28 Episode 192: Hey Now, You're an All-Star
We welcomed Kenyon onto the pod tonight. He's still early in his journey, but his commitment is unmistakable. With honesty and humility, the panel share what it feels like to be in those first fragile stages—navigating cravings, rebuilding trust, and learning how to live without substances one day at a time. What stands out most is Kenyon's “all in” mindset: He's showing up for meetings, leaning into uncomfortable growth, and actively working a program with determination. His effort as a guest was undeniable, he showed up with the look of determination in early recovery. You don’t need years of clean time to inspire others—just honesty, open-mindedness, and willingness.
