    From Dope to Director: The Rise of Zac Jones

    Zac Jones’s life could have gone in any direction. Raised in a loving home, he still found himself pulled into a world of chaos—drugs, crime, and self-destruction. What began as thrill-seeking soon spiraled into full-blown addiction. With his future hanging by a thread, Zac hit rock bottom—only to rise with a strength and purpose that would change everything. In this powerful episode, we explore Zac’s transformation—from a man haunted by loss and caught in destructive patterns, to a caring leader at the helm of one of the world’s foremost treatment centers. After completing the Beit T’Shuvah program himself, Zac felt a calling: “my purpose was to help others recover and … give back to the organization that saved my life”  His rise is a story of full-circle redemption. This episode isn’t just about leadership—it’s about legacy. Zac beat every odd: personal loss, spiritual loss, addiction, and crime.  Join us for a conversation that proves: no matter where you start, no matter what or who you lose, it’s never too late to rewrite your story—and help thousands do the same.

    Young, Sober, and Unstoppable: Bridget Lieberman’s Brave Beginning

    Some people get sober after they've lost everything. Bridget Lieberman got sober before she had the chance to. Growing up in Los Angeles with a complicated and often confusing upbringing, Bridget was already running on fumes by the time she hit 15. Her story could have gone the way so many others do—addiction deepening, consequences piling up, another young life slipping through the cracks. But Brigette did something extraordinary: she stopped running. In this inspiring and heartfelt episode, we celebrate Bridget's first full year of sobriety—a milestone that hits different when you’re still so young. She shares what it’s like to be 21 and sober in a world that glorifies partying, and how she’s learning to live honestly, fearlessly, and with intention. What amazes me most about Bridget isn’t just her courage—it’s her clarity. Because while many people don’t find recovery until their thirties, forties, or beyond, Bridget chose life now. And that choice makes her a force—especially for the countless young women who see themselves in her and realize they don’t have to wait until it gets worse. This episode is a reminder: recovery doesn’t have an age requirement. And sometimes, the youngest voices carry the most wisdom. Sicker Than Others is bought to you by Pink Cloud Coffee.

    From Misfit to Mentor: The Reinvention of Andrew Eaton

    Andrew Eaton never quite fit the mold. Raised by a mother immersed in the arts, he grew up in motion—always moving, always searching, never quite landing. Surrounded by beauty and creativity, he still felt like an outsider, like he’d missed the part where life made sense. So he went looking for belonging in the one place it would never last: heroin. What started as an escape quickly became a death sentence. Andrew's body began to collapse under the weight of addiction—a devastating bone infection nearly ended his life. He was falling apart physically, emotionally, spiritually. And then, finally, he surrendered. This episode follows Andrew's harrowing fall and breathtaking rise—from a dying addict to a man who now breathes purpose into others. Today, Andrew is a fierce and compassionate coach, guiding young men from the brink of death into the beauty of life. He teaches them not just how to survive—but how to live. Andrew Eaton is a living reminder that who you were doesn’t have to be who you are. He was broken. Now, he builds. And what he’s building is saving lives.

    The Hustler Who Found the Book: Peter LaPorta’s Path to Purpose

    Pete used to be all smoke and mirrors—a fast-talking hustler with a gift for manipulation and a knack for disappearing just when things got real. He had no map, no mission, and no clue who he was without the drugs. Directionless, disconnected, and dangerously close to becoming another cautionary tale, Peter lived a life that was all hustle, no heart. But then something unexpected happened: he got clean. And everything changed. In this compelling episode, we trace Peter’s journey from the chaos of addiction to becoming a deeply respected pillar in the Venice Beach sober community. Today, Peter is a man on fire—with purpose, humility, and a deep, unshakable commitment to Alcoholics Anonymous. He’s not just a believer in the Big Book—he embodies it. With an encyclopedic knowledge of its principles and a fierce devotion to working with men one-on-one, Peter has helped countless others walk out of the darkness he once knew so well. This is a story about transformation, yes—but more than that, it’s about service, legacy, and what it means to become a man of integrity after a lifetime of running from it Sicker Than Others is bought to you by Pink Cloud Coffee.

    From the Edge of Death to the running the Bema: The Redemption of Sarah Jacobs

    For years, Sarah Jacobs was lost to the streets, trapped in a brutal cycle of heroin addiction, arrests, and heartbreak. She spent her days chasing a high and her nights in jail cells or treatment centers—each time vowing it would be the last, and each time falling again. She lost everything: her freedom, her dignity, and the most devastating of all—custody of her three children. But this is not a story of defeat. This is the story of what happens when one woman finds a sliver of grace in the darkest night of the soul. In this gripping and deeply human episode, we follow Sarah’s journey from overdoses and prison walls to the pulpit of Beit T’Shuvah, a community where addiction, faith, and recovery collide. Today, Sarah is not only sober—she’s the congregation leader, helping others reclaim their lives from the same darkness that nearly swallowed her whole. She speaks with raw honesty about what it means to lose everything and then rebuild a life not just worth living, but worth sharing. This episode will break your heart—and then piece it back together. Sarah Jacobs was dying. Now she gives life to others. This is her resurrection story.

    Victor Murgatroyd

    Victor is a retired American music industry executive who has contributed to the sale of over 30 Million Albums, 9 Billion Streams, with 6 Grammy nominations and 2 wins. Victor has 33 years sober and is a staple in Los Angeles Recovery. Victor is very special to me, he’s one of the few people who kept me close when I couldn’t get 10 days sober. He never judged me, never made me feel less than, he just wanted to see me “get it.” Victor’s story is inspiring as we discuss the true “gift” of Sobriety and what that actually means, including how he prevailed from his life-altering stroke at age 44.
