About this episode
Brad White shares his harrowing journey from success to addiction and homelessness, and his fight to reclaim his life.
I didn’t expect this story to hit this hard. Because it starts with success and ends somewhere no one thinks they’ll ever go. In this episode, I sit down with Brad White, who was making over $100K a year, building a business, and living what most people would call the dream until one decision pulled him into addiction, and everything began to collapse. What started with pain pills turned into a spiral of opioids, meth, and a life he couldn’t recognise, losing his home, his marriage, and eventually becoming homeless. But there’s a moment in this conversation that stopped me… A moment where he looks around and realises: this isn’t who I’m meant to be. If you’ve ever wondered how addiction really takes hold and what it takes to fight your way back, this episode will stay with you. Watch till the end and share this with someone who needs it.
