On today’s episode of The Ultimate Assist, John Stockton and Ken Ruettgers sit down with Dave Durocher — a former meth addict, career criminal, and repeat offender who was arrested more than 25 times before one judge gave him a final choice: prison for life… or one last shot at redemption.
What followed transformed not only his life, but thousands of others.
Dave shares the raw story of addiction, prison culture, high-speed police chases, gang violence, and the moment everything finally broke. After spending 15 years behind bars and cycling endlessly through the system, he found hope through Delancey Street — a radical rehabilitation model built on accountability, honesty, structure, and truth.
Now, as founder and CEO of The Other Side Academy in Salt Lake City, Dave is helping some of society’s “lost causes” completely rebuild their lives — with astonishing success rates that traditional systems can’t match.
This episode tackles:
It’s a brutally honest conversation about crime, addiction, responsibility, second chances — and what happens when someone finally refuses to give up on you.
