  • Great Podcast

    I just discovered this podcast and went back to the beginning and am listening to them all. Zac, I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your podcast. I am learning from you every time I listen and wish I had something like this many years ago. My brother has now been in recovery for over a year and I am grateful for this every single day.
