Welcome to Never Out of Bounds, a podcast about second chances, resilience, and finding our way forward. In this episode Ralph explores the first of the Four Absolutes—Honesty—drawing from 12-step roots and personal experience to show how radical self-honesty can break patterns of trauma, addiction, and self-defeat.

In this episode of Never Out of Bounds, Ralph reflects on the people and principles that carried him forward through 35 years of continuous clean time. Set against a moment of both celebration and grief, the conversation explores legacy, loss, and what it means to live on the foundation laid by others—sponsors, mentors, and voices that still echo long after they’re gone. Through stories of honesty, service, and simply showing up, this episode is a reminder that resilience isn’t about perfection, but about continuing the walk, clean, and never alone.

Remember, no matter where you are in life, you are Never Out of Bounds.

Sometimes the most important thing we can do is stay right where we are.

In this episode of Never Out of Bounds, I sit down with my friend Chuck for an honest conversation about sobriety, fatherhood, golf, and learning how to live life one decision at a time. We talk about what it means to grow up while our kids are growing up, how recovery changes the way we show up, and why the tools that keep us sober are often the same tools that keep us steady on the golf course—and in life.

This isn’t a story about perfection. It’s a conversation about grace. About learning from the past without living in it. About letting go of what we can’t change and focusing on the next right thing.

Whether you’ve walked through addiction, trauma, divorce, or simply the quiet weight of trying to be better than you were yesterday, this episode is a reminder that you don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to stay where your feet are.

You’re not alone. And no matter where you are today, you are Never Out of Bounds.
