What happens when a man spends years chasing the next high, the next bet, the next escape, only to realize he’s really been running from himself?
Today’s guest, Tom Jenkins, knows that story all too well. His journey has taken him from gambling and alcohol addiction to a relentless search for meaning, purpose, and recovery. Originally from the UK and now living in Colombia, Tom has spent years asking the hard questions: What drives addiction? Why do we keep self-destructing? And what does true recovery actually look like?
He’s also the author of a book that explores many of these themes, which we’ll dive into later in the episode.
Let’s get started.
