Shownotes

There are moments in life when you wonder if you've gone too far to ever come back.

The addiction. The broken relationships. The shame. The mistakes you can't undo.

And then life keeps testing you.

In this deeply emotional conversation, I sit down with my close friend Dan Cardillo to talk about addiction, recovery, fatherhood, forgiveness, faith, identity, and the daily battle to believe you're still worthy of love.

Dan shares his incredible journey from chasing his dream of professional baseball to bodybuilding, prescription drug addiction, life on tour with the Dropkick Murphys, losing his marriage and children, surviving an overdose, serving time in prison, suffering multiple strokes, and fighting suicidal thoughts.

But beneath every chapter of pain is a man who refuses to give up.

This conversation explores addiction recovery, men's mental health, childhood identity, shame, forgiveness, prison, sobriety, fatherhood, grief, faith in Jesus, healing after trauma, purpose, and learning to accept God's grace when you still struggle to forgive yourself.

This is not just a story.

This is a safe space.

If you've ever battled addiction, carried regret, questioned your worth, or wondered if redemption is still possible, I hope this conversation reminds you that your past does not have to define your future.

Pull up a chair.

Thanks,

Brad
