Recovery Rockstars UNCUT

I have a confession to make. I can’t cook, like at all, so it’s a good thing that I host a recovery podcast vs. a cooking podcast because my guest this week is the legendary celebrity chef Andrew Zimmern.

Andrew’s bio runs deep! He’s a culinary expert, chef, restaurateur, TV personality, radio personality, director, producer, entrepreneur, food critic, journalist, teacher, author and a bad ass Recovery Rockstar!

Andrew has almost 30 years of sobriety and on this podcast he drops some serious knowledge and wisdom. Andrew admits that the gifts of sobriety are endless, as you can see from his bio!

Hope you enjoy this podcast!

I am so incredibly stoked to share this episode with you guys. On this episode, I have the absolute pleasure to speak with Kellie Nowell, the sister of beloved Sublime front man, Bradley Nowell.

I have so much admiration for Kellie. She is the Executive Director of The Nowell Family Foundation, the co-host of Bradley’s House Podcast, she’s a recovery advocate, oh and she works a full time job and is the mother of two boys.

We are on a mission to help The Nowell Family Foundation open Bradley’s House, a six bed recovery facility that will provide treatment for people in the music industry with opioid addiction regardless of their financial situation.

There are two ways you can help:
1. Help me spread awareness for the Nowell Family Foundation, by sharing this podcast with others or sharing their website; www.TheNowellFamilyFoundation.org
2. Make a donation (everything helps) or purchase the killer merch on their site, which proceeds will go to their foundation.

In honor of Bradley, let’s make it happen!

Enjoy the show!

What do Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Carmen Electra, Hulk Hogan and Dennis Rodman have in common? They are all repped by the bad ass sports and celebrity agent, Darren Prince, who is also a Recovery Rockstar.

On this episode, Darren shares with us his incredible journey of becoming a top sports and celebrity agent. In the public light, it looked as if Darren had it all. Behind the scenes, Darren was struggling with the grips of addiction.

Today, Darren has found his purpose and that is to help those who are struggling.

This episode took me on an emotional ride. Hope you guys enjoy!
