In this gripping episode of Primary Purpose with Pej, we sit down with Eric Duffner — a man whose life has been defined by extremes. From teenage ICU stays and prison hustles, to building and burning millions, to the devastating murder of his father, Eric’s story is one of chaos, addiction, and survival.

Eric opens up about:

Growing up rebellious and running from authority

Becoming a drug dealer while battling his own heroin addiction

Near-death overdoses, ICU stays, and life behind bars

Losing everything — money, freedom, and dignity

The devastating day his father, a respected surgeon, was murdered

The spiral that followed, including overdoses and public shame

And most importantly — how he found the strength to keep fighting for his life

This is not just a story about addiction — it’s about resilience, redemption, and finding purpose when all seems lost.
