In this episode of the Daughtered Podcast, Oscar's guest is a man whose story of redemption will stay with you. John Wildsmith, founder of Wyldstyle Fit, is proof that even in our darkest moments, there’s a way back. From years of addiction and incarceration to building a life rooted in faith, family, and fitness.
This episode is a raw and redemptive journey through darkness, faith, and fatherhood. Oscar and John talk about how addiction nearly destroyed his life — and how becoming a father saved it.
From the depths of meth addiction and incarceration to the moment that changed everything — a daddy-daughter dance he almost missed — John shares how faith, family, and fitness became his foundation for rebuilding his life.
If you’ve ever struggled with shame, purpose, or showing up for your family, this episode is a reminder that redemption is possible — and that our daughters have a way of leading us home.
