Episode #6: Landon’s Deep Dive

Had an interesting talk with Landon—one of those deep-dive conversations where we just go off on life, discovery, substance abuse, and what it takes to overcome it. We break down the mindset of The Man in the Back—the one who observes his thoughts instead of being controlled by them. We converse about the things that actually matter in life, like friendship and love, things that are scarce amongst the narratives that are being pushed on us by social media and the entertainment industry. Landon’s been with SOAR for almost a year and is coming up on a year sober. He’s spent a long time in recovery, stacking years of sobriety before going back out, and now he’s all in on figuring out how to be happy. He works hard to be the watcher—to separate from the thoughts that bring suffering—and he has a unique outlook on life that I really appreciate. I wanted to sit down with him because his perspective is worth hearing. I think you’ll get a lot out of it. Let me know what you think!
