Live a Little Better - John Beyer

About this episode

John Beyer shares his journey of overcoming addiction and rebuilding his life after personal loss.

John Beyer grew up amidst chaos. His parents were alcoholics. By his mid-twenties, both parents had passed away, grief weighed heavily, and alcohol took over his life. In this episode, I speak with John about the moment he finally confronted that truth and the long journey that ensued. The conversation covers addiction, recovery, family, and the quiet strength of rebuilding a life step by step. John shares how he found sobriety, started a business, became a husband and father, supported a son with autism, and kept moving forward through profound personal and health challenges. What makes this story so impactful is that it is shared from experience, scars, gratitude, and a sincere desire to help not only himself but others, and the book he authored, Live a Little Better.
