Hollywood legend Danny Trejo sits down to share his raw and unfiltered story of transformation, from a life of addiction and multiple prison sentences to becoming one of the most recognizable faces in film. In this deeply personal conversation, Danny opens up about his uncle Gilbert introducing him to drugs at age eight, his years surviving San Quentin and Folsom, and the moment in solitary confinement when he made a promise to God that changed everything. He reveals how a chance encounter on a movie set in 1985 launched his acting career, the profound impact of his 57 years of sobriety, and why service to others has been the foundation of his redemption. This is a masterclass in resilience, recovery, and the power of second chances.

Bryan Hubbard, CEO of Americans for Ibogaine and former Kentucky opioid policy leader, shares his extraordinary journey from Appalachian poverty to spearheading a historic $50 million Texas initiative to bring ibogaine therapy through FDA approval. After witnessing the opioid epidemic devastate his community and discovering the limitations of current addiction treatments, Bryan fought through political setbacks and state-to-state rejections to build a multi-state movement for this potentially breakthrough therapy. This conversation explores ibogaine's promise for treating opioid dependency and PTSD, the resistance from established recovery systems, and why innovation in addiction treatment could offer hope to those at "the end of hope."
