Brandon Novak is a keynote speaker, author, former professional skateboarder/TV star, and intervention specialist who reclaimed his life from addiction in 2015.

In this episode, Brandon walks us through his remarkable journey from sleeping in abandoned houses as a homeless heroin addict to owning and operating several sober living facilities and earning widespread respect as a champion for people in recovery.

He also speaks about:

-How he first got into drugs and alcohol, and his thoughts on "gateway drugs"

-The moment when Bam Margera offered help at a critical time

-Becoming a famous MTV star on 'Viva La Bam' in the mid-2000s

-The story behind his mother buying him a cemetery plot

-The epiphany he experienced standing on his mother's doorstep after she kicked him out of her house and put a restraining order on him

-Why he recommends a firm approach to dealing with loved ones who are battling addiction

-The spiritual element of his recovery

-Why he doesn't consider his 12 unsuccessful attempts to get sober, "failures"

-Why he's not tempted to consume drugs or alcohol today

-How to include friends in recovery in social activities

-The business of owning sober living homes and an addiction treatment center

-How he scaled his sober living facilities to 65 beds
