This week's episode is with my buddy, Nathan Grisier. Nate and I go back about 20 years, growing up in church together, going on crazy camping trips as boy scouts and we having some fun memories with the group of friends we had back then. 

In this episode, Nathan opens up about his story of addiction as well as getting sober. He mentions stories such as smoking weed at the age of 8, heavily involved in selling drugs, being raided by the police, twice, and spending time in jail. 

Eventually, Nathan just had enough and had to surrender and ask for help. He went to rehab in St. George, Utah where he got the help he needed.  He has been sober now for over 7 years and I couldn't be more proud of him. Going from shooting up heroin every day to being completely sober is a drastic change to say the least. A huge transformation.

Also, I mention briefly a bit about my addiction too--which I will be releasing an episode solely on telling that story here soon, so stay tuned for that.  If any of you suffer with the disease of addiction, please reach out to someone! As Nathan says in this episode, reaching out and asking for help is the first step. And lastly, I want to say that my door is always open for any of you who want to talk.
