Fifteen years ago today, Tim Brown was in a psychiatric ward, struggling with addiction and a distorted sense of reality. Now he's the founder of a successful marketing agency helping contractors across the country. This profound synchronicity frames our powerful conversation about recovery, purpose, and the journey to authentic success.

Tim's story isn't just about quitting substances—it's about discovering a new way of living. We explore how recovery provides a framework for rebuilding your internal compass after addiction disrupts your ability to trust your instincts. Tim shares how he's replaced artificial highs with genuine adventures, from silent meditation retreats that brought him to tears to swimming with sharks and building businesses that serve others.

The conversation takes fascinating turns as we examine the parallels between recovery principles and business ethics. Tim reveals how his approach to marketing for home service contractors mirrors his philosophy of recovery—creating genuine value, practicing  radical honesty, and ensuring every exchange benefits both parties. We dive deep into the psychology of sales, discussing how to create authentic connections without manipulation.

Perhaps most movingly, Tim opens up about overcoming self-sabotage and learning self-compassion. "How would I treat a friend?" becomes his guiding question in both personal and professional life. He explains the fundamental difference between simply abstaining from substances and truly recovering—finding meaning, purpose, and joy through service to others.

Whether you're in recovery yourself, know someone who is struggling, or simply want to live with greater authenticity and purpose, Tim's journey offers profound wisdom about what it means to let go of control and find your true north. Join us for this candid, inspiring conversation about transformation and the unexpected gifts that can emerge from our darkest moments.
