🎧 Episode Title:
“Rock Bottom and Rebound: The Cocktail That Nearly Killed Me”
In this episode, I open up about my personal journey—how I spiraled into alcoholism while navigating the invisible pressures of executive life, and how I eventually found my way back. Behind the titles, achievements, and outward success stood a man quietly battling burnout, anxiety, and profound loneliness. It’s one of the most vulnerable and raw conversations I have ever openly shared in public.
We talk about the heavy toll of high-performance environments, why so many leaders feel they must carry it all alone, and how that silence can slowly destroy you from the inside out. More importantly, we explore how resilience isn’t an innate trait you’re simply born with—it’s developed gradually, step by step, through cultivating self-awareness, fostering meaningful connections, and embracing a willingness to ask for help when needed.
Reaching “rock bottom” was my wake-up call, but it also became the turning point for transformation. Through community support, professional guidance, and a complete shift in mindset, I learned how to rebuild—not just my career but my life. Today, my mission is to help others do the same before they hit their breaking point.
If you’re navigating your own personal storm—or offering support to someone who is going through one—this episode might truly resonate with you on a deeper level.
