About this listen

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Dr. Guillermo Rodriguez to talk openly about his battle with addiction, the rock-bottom moment that forced real change, and the long road that followed.


Dr. Rodriguez shares what addiction took from him—and what recovery gave back. From surviving his lowest point to earning his doctorate, becoming a professor and social worker, and dedicating his life to giving back to the community, his story is raw, honest, and deeply human.


This isn’t a highlight reel or a feel-good shortcut. It’s a real conversation about accountability, resilience, and choosing to keep going when quitting would be easier.


If you or someone you love has been touched by addiction, this episode is proof that change is possible—even when you feel completely unprepared.
