James kicks off Season 2 with guest Andy H., a 16-year sober actor, filmmaker, and pilot. They talk about staying sober in New York City, how discipline in acting and aviation mirrors spiritual practice, and why connection is the opposite of addiction.

Topics include: finding serenity in chaos, the role of meditation and accountability, and building a “war council” of sober supports. Andy shares his journey from underage drinking in Manhattan bodegas to a life grounded in service, creativity, and intention.
