About this listen
Welcome to Hometown Jax, where hosts Aaron Bacus and Jason Kindler sit down with Jacksonville’s leaders, creators, and change-makers to explore the journeys that define our city. From entrepreneurship to personal transformation, each episode digs deep into the stories of those making a difference across Northeast Florida.
In this episode, Jason sits down with Nick Padlo, a Jacksonville native, West Point graduate, U.S. Army veteran, Stanford MBA, TEDx speaker, and founder of Sofros Recovery. Nick opens up about his deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan, the identity crisis many veterans face after service, and his personal journey through addiction, healing, and entrepreneurship. He shares how a life-altering experience in Cambodia and a passion for mental health led to launching Sofros Recovery right here in Jacksonville. Through real talk and hard-earned wisdom, Nick explains how his team is filling the gap between traditional treatment and lasting change—one person at a time.
