In this powerful and deeply human conversation, Terry sits down with Allen Collins, a business owner, speaker, founder of Hollow Labs, and a man in long-term recovery whose story embodies resilience, purpose, and possibility. Allen opens up about his early struggles with addiction, the cycles of relapse he endured, and the turning point that ultimately helped him rebuild his life from the ground up. He speaks candidly about the impact of his addiction on his daughter, the emotional work of recovery, and why service, structure, and self-honesty remain at the heart of his continued success.
Today, through entrepreneurial leadership and his Pain Into Purpose program, Allen helps others rewrite their own stories. His message is universal: addiction does not define a person, and healing is possible when support, accountability, and self-awareness come together.
Listeners will walk away with meaningful insights on how to examine their habits, create healthier routines, and build greater presence in their daily lives.
Takeaways include:

• Why unresolved pain fuels addiction and how true recovery begins
• The power of routines, journaling, and physical health in sustaining change
• How service and giving back strengthen long-term sobriety
• Practical ways to reclaim attention and reduce digital overwhelm
