  Jun 16, 202637 min

  What happens when a man spends years chasing the next high, the next bet, the next escape, only to realize he’s really been running from himself? Today’s guest, Tom Jenkins, knows that story all too well. His journey has taken him from gambling and alcohol addiction to a relentless search for meaning, purpose, and recovery. Originally from the UK and now living in Colombia, Tom has spent years asking the hard questions: What drives addiction? Why do we keep self-destructing?
