On this episode of Primary Purpose with Pej, we sit down with Scott Stein — family coach, interventionist, and founder of Capital Companion and Transport — for one of the most honest conversations about addiction, family dynamics, and recovery you’ll hear.

Scott doesn’t teach recovery from theory — he lived it. His addiction spanned opioids, alcohol, weed, benzos, nightlife culture, and the “work hard, party harder” mentality that eventually left him homeless, evicted, and disconnected from reality. While everyone around him saw the problem, Scott couldn’t — until his mother’s growth became the mirror he couldn’t ignore.

Today, Scott works with families and individuals navigating addiction at every stage:

His focus goes beyond sobriety — into executive functioning, boundaries, routines, life skills, accountability, and structure — the areas most people overlook but families desperately need help with.

Scott believes:

You don’t steal someone’s comeback story — you support it

You set boundaries, not band-aids

You offer truth, not rescue

Whether someone lives on Park Avenue or the streets, Scott shows up the same way: direct, practical, and rooted in real love.
