What does it take to trade an alcohol-fueled life in the tattoo industry for a life of sobriety, spirituality, law enforcement, and coaching? Our guest, Stu from the Guild Fellowship, has done just that, and he shares his transformative journey with us in this episode. Stu candidly discusses the social pressures to drink he faced, especially in the tattoo industry, and how he cleverly navigated them. 

Stu's journey didn't stop at sobering up. He also delved into spirituality and found a profound connection with God that led him to create the Guild Fellowship. As he narrates his inspiring journey, Stu elucidates the power of aligning one's goals and actions with their spiritual mission, leading to greater clarity and fulfillment in life. He also touches on the emotional struggles common among men and introduces us to the concept of 'Yanu' (You Are Not Unique), which helps combat feelings of isolation and uniqueness in our sufferings.

Wrapping up our discussion, we tackle the often overlooked need for support among first responders dealing with trauma. Stu shares his experiences and emphasizes the importance of shared experiences for mentoring and healing. He also reflects on how the divine has worked in his life and the synchronicity that led him to his mission. Join us as we journey through Stu's inspiring transformation, exploring a range of topics from sobriety and spirituality to male struggles and support for first responders.
