In this week's episode, Casey Scott is joined by Damion Hiatt (CFO - Renaissance Ranch) to talk about how recovery influences us every day, how it weighs on the decisions we make, and how recovery still has to come first.

Then we dive into Damion's story of addiction and how his experimentation with alcohol at the age of eleven caused him to become reliant on the feeling of being drunk. We also talk about how his alcohol use increased once he got into high school until he went to Argentina on a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Damion then talks about marrying his then-wife in the temple and how his depression began to consume him even though, on the outside looking in, his life was perfect. He also recalls how a moving accident introduced him to painkillers and how he became addicted within a year.

Lastly, we talk about Damion's rock bottom and how it impacted his life after that.
