This week, Rocky Romano joins us on the Gentle Art of Leadership Podcast. He gets real, raw, and unfiltered about his life’s traumas and wounds that led him to a deep and ugly heroin addiction. Rocky dives deep into the emotional wounds, abandonment issues, and patterns of self-sabotage that quietly derail men’s lives.From chasing success to numbing pain with quick fixes, Rocky doesn’t hold back as he shares his personal story, including a life-changing moment checking into rehab in San Francisco’s Tenderloin district. But his story isn’t just about hitting rock bottom—it’s about the breakthrough that came when he shifted his mindset from self-focused to serving others, and ultimately found his faith in Jesus.These passions led Rocky to help launch the ARK Sober Living Facility in Loveland, Colorado. The Ark focuses on Christ centered sober living, equipping men with faith, fellowship and life skills to STAY sober for a lifetime. At ARK, men are not only given tools for recovery, but hope, purpose, and a path back to who they were created to be.As we discuss these topics, Rocky shares excerpts from his book: Rock Bottom: The Heroin Addict Next Door.This podcast isn’t just Rocky’s story—it’s a guidebook for any man (or anyone who loves one) searching for healing, purpose, and a life that truly matters.Expect raw conversations, real-world tools, and a reminder that no matter how broken the road, redemption is always possible.Tune in, lean in, and get ready for the kind of honesty that leads to transformation—one story, one step, one breakthrough at a time.---------------------------------------Learn more about the Ark Sober Living Facilityhttps://thearksoberliving.org/ ----------------------------------------Read Rocky's book Rock Bottom: The Heroin Addict Next Doorhttps://a.co/d/85ghBEl----------------------------------------*Check Out Our Sponsors*The Foundry: Christian Executive Peer Advisoryhttps://thefoundryadvisory.com/ Hulk Addicts Hauling (Junk Removal): https://hulkaddictsjunk.com/Imprint Digital (Digital Marketing Agency): https://imprint-digital.com/M & E Painting and Roofing: https://mandepainting.com/----------------------------------------Read Matt's Books:Become an Award Winning Company: 7 Steps to Win Business Awardshttps://a.co/d/b0ibNFQPainted Baby: Connect with Clients Through Brave and Vulnerable Storytellinghttps://a.co/d/0kcaC5aJJ Learns Jiu Jitsu: A Bullied Boy Discovers His Inner Voice and Strength https://a.co/d/aB1gJbm----------------------------------------Connect with Matt ShDownload Matt's FREE Business and Leadership Toolshttps://mattshoup.com/free-tools---------------------------------------Check Out Matt's Video Coaching Programshttps://matt-shoup.mykajabi.com/store---------------------------------------Check Out Matt's Upcoming Leadership Adventures to Spainhttps://mattshoup.com/spain-----------------------------------------Join Matt and Emily for their next Couples Connection Night Outhttps://www.mattshoup.com/couples-connection-night-out/-----------------------------------------Visit Matt at Café Sevillahttps://www.mattshoup.com/cafesevilla/----------------------------------------Check Our Matt's Might Men's Mastermindhttps://www.mattshoup.com/mighty-mens-mastermind/Read Matt's Books:https://www.mattshoup.com/books/Follow Matt on SocialInstagram: https://instagram.com/matthewshoupTik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mattshoupFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/matt.shoupLinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/mattshoup/ Twitterhttps://www.twitter.com/mattshoup
