Certified Life Coach Dave Johnson on Sobriety, Homelessness & Transformation

from Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino · host Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino - Profiling the Finest Folks from Everywhere

Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with certified life coach, sobriety advocate, motivational speaker, and survivor Dave Johnson. After spending 31 years battling addiction — including four years homeless and living out of his car — Dave has transformed his life through sobriety, mindset work, psychology, discipline, and personal growth. Now more than three years sober, he is dedicated to helping others not only stay sober, but also discover a new perspective on life, resilience, and self-worth. Dave’s story is one of extraordinary perseverance and transformation. At just 18 years old, he survived a devastating head-on collision with a diesel truck and was pronounced dead at the scene. Doctors told him it would take a year to walk again, yet he recovered in just three and a half months. Later, he confronted and conquered his fears through martial arts and cage fighting, using the discipline and mindset from five different martial arts styles to completely reshape his approach to life. From his base in Arizona, we discuss addiction recovery, sobriety, homelessness, psychology, motivation, resilience, mindset, trauma, personal transformation, martial arts, life coaching, mental strength, overcoming adversity, and helping others reclaim their lives. This is a powerful story of survival, growth, redemption, and purpose. Enjoy this inspiring conversation with Dave Johnson.
