“Addiction isn’t a setback—it’s a data point in the story of who you’re becoming, not who you are defined by.”
What if the deal you close isn’t just a business contract—but a life saved?
In today’s episode, host Steve Ramona invites you behind the scenes of real transformation. You’ll meet his guest, Rob – (last name omitted), whose life was once defined by addiction, jail, and despair—and who now leads national interventions, coaches others, and is building a movement called the “Wall of Hope” to mark recovery in action.

Rob arrives as our broken character; he openly shares the chaos of his past, the moment of divine turning point after a suicide attempt, and the quiet, persistent faith that carved out his path. In a vivid breakfast‑intervention scene, you’ll sense the pressure, the risk, the mother’s desperation, and the pivot that followed. You’ll hear about that first shaky step into transformation, the concept of “data points not setbacks,” and the critical role of community—“the middle letter of community is ‘you’”—in staying in the story rather than walking away.

For you, this episode isn’t just about addiction—it’s about any corner of your life or business where you feel stuck, ashamed or isolated. It’s about seeing the chain‑reaction of serving others. If you’ve ever wanted to show up not just to win, but to uplift; not just to sell, but to serve—this conversation will challenge you and give you tools to act today. Because even a small brick of kindness can build a wall of hope.

P.S. After you listen, ask yourself: what brick will you paint? What “you” will you show up with in your community? When you serve yourself and others today, you step into purpose and impact.

Guest Bio
Rob lived the story most of us avoid: addiction, prison, near‑rock‑bottom despair. But in his darkest moment, he heard a call to serve. Today he drives national interventions, coaches individuals and families, and leads a Christ‑centered outpatient recovery movement anchored by a symbolic “Wall of Hope” where participants and supporters leave their mark. His mission? To shift the narrative from shame‑based survival to transformation, identity and community. Rob’s personal recovery of 24 years becomes the fuel for his presence, his program, and his unwavering belief that no one is defined by their past—but by how they show up next.
