In this episode of The Alchemy Podcast, host Doug Cartwright sits down with Caleb Farina, aka "The Bill Lowering Guy." They reconnect after two years to unpack Caleb’s transformation from a driven 19-year-old obsessed with sales and status, to a grounded 22-year-old building a peaceful and purpose-driven life. 

Caleb shares his journey through substance abuse, emotional breakdowns, door-to-door grit, and the shift from chasing success to embodying meaning. Together, they explore deep concepts like intuitive vs. invasive thoughts, personal accountability, and what it truly means to build a life worth living. This is a raw, emotional, and inspiring episode about owning your truth, breaking patterns, and rising from rock bottom.
