About this episode

Zach Skow shares his transformative journey from alcoholism to founding Marley’s Mutts, highlighting the importance of animal advocacy.

In this powerful episode of Sobriety, Spirituality, & Sales, co-host Alexander Ward and I sit down with Zach Skow for a raw and moving testimony of transformation. Zach shares his journey from the depths of late-stage alcoholism and a near-death experience on the streets to finding a life-saving purpose in animal advocacy. Today, he is the founder of Marley’s Mutts, a non-profit dedicated to rescuing Kern County’s most vulnerable shelter animals. We dive deep into the heartbreaking reality of shelter overcrowding and how Zach’s organization provides a lifeline through training, rehoming, and community networking. Tune in to hear how one man’s recovery sparked a mission to save thousands of lives, proving that redemption is possible for both humans and their four-legged companions.
