In this deeply personal episode, Drake Margolnick opens up about a life-altering blackout while working with rising artist Adina Rey—an incident that forced him to confront the lasting impact of a 2016 abduction that left him battling PTSD, blackouts, and addiction.

From the rise and fall of his band Flagship to rebuilding as a solo artist, Drake shares the highs and lows of his journey—his struggles with substance abuse, the challenges of the modern music industry, and how sobriety and creativity became his lifelines.

He also dives into the realities of being an independent musician today, navigating streaming, social media, radio, and licensing, and the unexpected fulfillment of collaborating with and uplifting new artists.

This is a story of resilience, redemption, and the transformative power of music.
