In this episode of In Between Sips, Ryan sits down with Lawrence Briggs for a conversation that spans addiction, homelessness, entrepreneurship, loss, and faith. Born into a chaotic childhood shaped by violence and addiction, Lawrence lost his father to an overdose at a very young age. What followed was years of rebellion, drug dealing, heroin addiction, jail, and eventually living behind a dumpster in Phoenix. At 23, after hitting rock bottom, he entered treatment with nothing and began rebuilding his life from the ground up.
What came next is a story of radical transformation. Lawrence helped launch multiple treatment centers, later being part of an $85 million exit, only to find that money and success didn’t fix the deeper battles within. After experiencing profound loss and depression, he fully surrendered his life to Christ and rebuilt his identity on faith rather than achievement. This episode is about redemption, heart posture, fatherhood, business integrity, and what it really means to change your life not just your circumstances.
