If you just live in to exist, you won't borrow time.
Picture this: a young, talented skateboarder at the peak of his career, spiraling into the abyss of addiction. That's Brandon Novak's story, and it's nothing short of gripping. In this episode of 'The Bottom Line', host James M. Wahlberg sits down with Novak to unpack his tumultuous journey from skateboarding stardom to the dark depths of addiction and, ultimately, his inspiring path to recovery.
Novak doesn't hold back as he opens up about the traumatic experiences of his childhood and how they fueled his addiction. He sheds light on the enabling culture within the skateboarding world that made it easy for him to spiral out of control. But Novak's tale isn't just about hitting rock bottom; it's about the climb back up. He speaks passionately about the power of accountability and sobriety, emphasizing their critical roles in his ongoing recovery.
Throughout their conversation, Novak and Wahlberg explore the concept of addiction as a disease and the importance of diagnosis in understanding and managing it.
