    In this powerful episode of the BAR Live Podcast, we sit down with Patrick Stone, lead singer of Budderside and Hairball, for a raw and unfiltered conversation about life, loss, and redemption. Patrick shares his deeply personal journey—from the heartbreak of losing his sister to suicide, to navigating the chaos of addiction, and ultimately finding sobriety, purpose, and hope. His story is one of resilience, faith, and the reality that even in our darkest moments, there is a path forward. This isn’t just a music story—it’s a human story. One that speaks to anyone who has struggled, felt alone, or is searching for a reason to keep going. Join us as we break down the barriers around men’s mental health, have real conversations, and remind each other that no one has to fight alone. Because at the BAR… a BAR isn’t just a BAR.

    BAR Cast Episode #40 * Guest: KD DelFabro "Avante Sempre"

    We recently had the honor of welcoming a very special guest to the Building a Refuge Podcast — my stepfather, KD DelFabro. KD has been a constant in my life for over 40 years. He’s a successful Indianapolis business leader, a trusted advisor to countless clients, a former executive board member, an incredible grandfather to our kids, and a devoted husband to my mom. But beyond the titles, KD’s life is a powerful testament to resilience and faith. He has endured some of life’s deepest losses — including the tragic loss of his daughter and my brother to suicide. He survived a heart attack that nearly took his life and has courageously battled cancer over the past two years. Through it all, KD has remained grounded in his faith in Jesus Christ and committed to living life fully, with purpose and gratitude. This conversation is raw, honest, and deeply hopeful. KD opens up about grief, perseverance, faith, and what it means to keep moving forward when life knocks you down. Hence the title to KD's story "Avanti Sempre" Alway keep moving forward ! 🎧 I hope you’ll take a moment to listen — and if this episode resonates with you, please share it with someone who may need encouragement today. Real stories. Real faith. Real hope.
