He sought treatment and worked on his recovery in a 12-step-based program. Pete humbled himself after working for several NBA teams he began working at a fast food restaurant while in sober living, and he formulated his path to becoming a network broadcaster. Pete and I discuss the following and more. Intro 00:00 3 things Pete is grateful for? 1:50 What is Pete's family's lineage of addiction? 4:40 How did working a 12-step program humble Pete? 8:05 How can childhood learning disabilities and mental health challenges impact addiction? 15:53 Why does Pete reflect on early moments in recovery? 31:20 How did Pete working his recovery program prepare him to be an ESPN broadcaster? 40:18 Random Questions 56:32 Final thoughts 1:08:29 This is Pete Sousa Knockin’ Doorz Down.
