Pete used to be all smoke and mirrors—a fast-talking hustler with a gift for manipulation and a knack for disappearing just when things got real. He had no map, no mission, and no clue who he was without the drugs. Directionless, disconnected, and dangerously close to becoming another cautionary tale, Peter lived a life that was all hustle, no heart.

But then something unexpected happened: he got clean. And everything changed.

In this compelling episode, we trace Peter’s journey from the chaos of addiction to becoming a deeply respected pillar in the Venice Beach sober community. Today, Peter is a man on fire—with purpose, humility, and a deep, unshakable commitment to Alcoholics Anonymous. He’s not just a believer in the Big Book—he embodies it. With an encyclopedic knowledge of its principles and a fierce devotion to working with men one-on-one, Peter has helped countless others walk out of the darkness he once knew so well.

This is a story about transformation, yes—but more than that, it’s about service, legacy, and what it means to become a man of integrity after a lifetime of running from it
