About this listen

From a rising young golf talent to the depths of addiction, loss and rebuilding, this is Ross’s powerful and brutally honest story.

In this episode, Ross opens up about his childhood, falling in love young, supporting his wife through cancer, becoming a father, and chasing his dream of becoming a professional golfer. But behind the success was a growing dependence on alcohol that slowly took everything from him — his marriage, his career, his confidence, and his sense of self. Ross shares the moment he hit rock bottom, the painful reality of addiction, the therapy that changed his life, and the long road to sobriety.

Today, he’s a father, business owner, and a man rebuilding with purpose, discipline and gratitude. This conversation is raw, uplifting, and full of lessons for anyone facing their own struggles. If you’ve ever battled addiction, trauma, or the pressure to hold everything together, Ross’s story will stay with you.
