When a loved one is in the grip of addiction, mental illness, or repeated failed attempts at recovery, families often feel helpless—unsure where to turn, desperate for hope. Attorney Mark Astor built his life’s work around answering that call.

Starting with no money but a mission to save families in crisis, Mark founded law firms dedicated to fighting for the rights of those struggling with substance use and mental health disorders. In this episode of From Stuck to Scaled, he shares how purpose—not profit—drove him to create a thriving practice, the turning points that reshaped his life, and the challenges of scaling a business built on compassion, advocacy, and relentless dedication.

Technology has never moved faster—and for small businesses, that speed can be both a blessing and a threat. In this episode, we’re joined by David Moadab, Founder of Solutions Squad, cybersecurity strategist, and AI expert who’s been solving complex IT challenges for more than two decades.
David shares why growing companies can no longer rely on informal or part-time IT support and how the right systems, policies, and protections are essential for scaling securely. We discuss what’s changed in cybersecurity, the risks of DIY tech setups, and the must-have infrastructure for companies with 10–30 employees.
If you’ve ever said “we’ve got a guy for that,” this episode will change the way you think about IT.
