Tamara Foye and co-host Lyle Spriggs welcome inspirational speaker, life coach, and Reforge Your Life podcast host Joe Rivera, who shares how he went from making seven figures on Wall Street to addiction, overdosing twice (once revived with six cans of Narcan), and hitting emotional, financial, and spiritual bankruptcy before choosing sobriety after an emotional moment with his sister. He traces early masking and substance use from adolescence, explains how he entered the brokerage world, and describes rebuilding through coaching, a repeatable system, and a deep relationship with God rooted in spirituality rather than religion. Joe emphasizes vulnerability, asking for help, and community as keys to recovery and success, discusses joy through gratitude, God, and his grandson, and talks about his new book “Reforge Your Life: From Addiction to Assignment” plus a free offer.
