Jim Sonefeld is a songwriter, author, speaker, and drummer for iconic 90's rock band Hootie & the Blowfish. Jim fell into a cycle of drug and alcohol abuse in the early 2000's, finally seeking recovery by the end of 2004. He credits his long term recovery to the ‘power of transparency and love’ he found in the 12-Step community. Today, 2024 marks the crescendo of several busy years of projects. Hootie & the Blowfish will play nearly 50 shows across North America this summer during their Summer Camp With Trucks Tour, Hootie & The Blowfish . This comes on the heels of Diversion Books publishing Jim’s memoir “Swimming With The Blowfish - Hootie, Healing, and One Hell of a Ride” in 2022, Swimming with the Blowfish: Hootie, Healing, and One Hell of a Ride . Check out Jims full-length solo record “Snowman Melting - 15th Anniversary Deluxe” which features collaborations with Edwin McCain and his own band's lead singer, Darius Rucker.

You may have heard of Monument Records recording artist Walker Hayes from his hit “Fancy Like” which topped every country music sales and streaming chart, spent more than six months at the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot Country Songs Chart and also gave Walker his first GRAMMY Award nomination as an artist for Best Country Song. Another thing you may or may not know, is that Walker had his own struggles with Alcohol and through his success is now sharing this journey on his most recent project, Sober Thoughts. Walker finds himself where he so often does – letting fans into his world in a way only he can do. Hayes has always written about his personal experiences from a place of deep authenticity and, sometimes brutal, truth – sharing his fears, insecurities, and demons with the world. We watch him do this on “AA” where he was struggling to stay sober after a whirlwind year, or on “Beer in the Fridge” when he sings “guess I've got to live without you now, cause I couldn't live without that beer in the fridge” during a particularly difficult time where he and his wife Laney were struggling with his addiction. But really, what Walker does with his music, is make people feel seen. This has never been truer than on new single “Same Drunk,” where he sings that everyone is dealing with something and were all in it together. Walker has performed his music, including the Double-Platinum RIAA certified hit “You Broke Up With Me,” to national audiences on Good Morning America, Late Night with Seth Meyers, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and TODAY, and he was profiled for CBS Sunday Morning. He just announced his next headlining tour, The Same Drunk Tour, which follows his last arena tours The Duck Buck Tour and the Glad You’re Here Tour. The Glad You’re Here Tour is the same title as the book Hayes released in 2022 with his best friend, Craig Allen Cooper, detailing his journey to finding Christ.    IG - @walkerhayes https://www.walkerhayes.com/   Tired of Drinking?

Ray Trapani is the co-founder of Centra Tech and is also the main character in a recent Netflix documentary by director Bryan Storkel titled 'Bitconned'. Bitconned is about the Centra Tech crypto Scam by Ray and his partners. In the true-crime documentary, Ray and his business partners exploit the early cryptocurrency market to scam millions from investors and bankroll lavish lifestyles. When I watched Bitconned a couple of weeks back, it was obvious to me that there was way more to this story and more to Rays life than just scamming people out of millions of dollars. There was a massive addiction problem to pills and gambling, as well as an addiction to the criminal lifestyle. There was also a kid who grew up without a father, that was molested by his step brother, that started taking drugs before he was even a teenager, and an eventual suicide attempt.  I wanted to have Ray on the show to explain more about his life, his addiction, and his recovery.
