He was the guy everyone in recovery looked up to—until he wasn't. In this gripping, unfiltered conversation, Louis sits down with his longtime friend Marcos, whose story is nothing short of a miracle. From being the light of a sober community in LA to slipping into a spiral of addiction that nearly killed him, Marcos has lived through every layer of darkness… and somehow made it back.

They dive deep into childhood trauma, the seductive high of early drug use, and how addiction shattered every promise their lives once held. Marcos opens up about forging fake report cards, dodging expulsion, getting hit by a truck, and battling an opiate habit that took everything from him—including his will to live.

But this isn’t just a story of relapse. It’s a global search for redemption.

Marcos takes us on a journey that spans the most renowned treatment centers in the United States, the heart of 12-step fellowships, shadowy underground medical clinics in Mexico, and sacred indigenous ceremonies across the world. From ayahuasca in the jungle to ibogaine in backroom clinics, he chased recovery through every spiritual alleyway and therapeutic backroad he could find.

This episode is a masterclass in raw truth, radical healing, and what happens when you refuse to die—even when every part of you wants to. Whether you believe in the Big Book or plant medicine, this is recovery like you’ve never heard it before.
