In this episode, I sit down with Scott Mocha, author of A Row With Two Chairs and founder of Impossible Path, to talk about addiction, faith, and the courage it takes to start again.
Scott shares his powerful journey from being a nightclub DJ caught in addiction to surviving a near-fatal overdose and finding faith in the most unexpected way. What began as a reluctant embrace of spirituality became the foundation for a new life — one rooted in purpose, creativity, and service.
We talk about:
- How hitting rock bottom became a spiritual awakening
- The messy process of writing a memoir rooted in truth
- Why change isn’t something to fear but a superpower to use
- How to rebuild trust in yourself and your purpose after loss
Scott’s story is proof that it’s never too late to rewrite your life. Whether you’re navigating recovery, career pivots, or spiritual change, this conversation will inspire you to take the next brave step forward.
