He was homeless, struggling with addiction, and sick. Now, Eric Zimmer is the author, teacher, and host behind the massive hit podcast, The One You Feed (with over 50 million downloads!), exploring the secrets to a meaningful life.

In this powerful episode, Eric doesn't just share his inspiring personal story of recovery from addiction and hepatitis C; he reveals the practical, real-world tools that helped him get—and stay—clean for good.

You'll discover:

• What we get completely wrong about willpower, motivation, and that idea of hitting "rock bottom."

• Why relapse and resistance are not failures, but a necessary part of the path to change.

• The life-changing power of wise habits that can keep you strong, even when life throws its hardest challenges at you.

• A sneak peek into his forthcoming book, How a Little Becomes a Lot, which breaks down how to create real, lasting transformation without relying on big epiphanies or temporary motivation.

This conversation is about more than self-improvement—it's about learning how to live with more integrity, less noise, and a deeper sense of meaning. Don't miss this incredibly honest and helpful discussion.
