In this powerful episode of The Judd Lienhard Podcast, Judd sits down with the legendary Mike Catherwood—radio icon, voice actor, certified trainer, father, and jiu-jitsu practitioner—for a raw, unfiltered conversation on addiction recovery, discipline, and the relentless pursuit of personal growth.

From his punk rock beginnings and battles with addiction to co-hosting the globally syndicated Loveline and training jiu-jitsu in Hill Country, Texas, Mike shares his journey of resilience and transformation.
