In this episode, Michael Unbroken has a raw conversation with special guest Brandon Novak about addiction, hitting rock bottom, and the journey to redemption. They discuss the pain that leads people down self-destructive paths, the moment one realizes they need to change, and the difficulties of learning self-love and vulnerability after trauma.
Brandon shares his story of fame as a pro skater followed by years of struggle with homelessness and addiction before ultimately getting clean and finding purpose through service and helping others. The two connect over similar childhoods and examine what it means to find the courage to heal. They explore the concept of being "unbroken" in terms of coming through hardship stronger and more resilient. Throughout the discussion, the theme of humanizing rather than villainizing people with addiction comes across powerfully.
