From Dope to Director: The Rise of Zac Jones

Sicker Than Others

Zac Jones’s life could have gone in any direction. Raised in a loving home, he still found himself pulled into a world of chaos—drugs, crime, and self-destruction. What began as thrill-seeking soon spiraled into full-blown addiction. With his future hanging by a thread, Zac hit rock bottom—only to rise with a strength and purpose that would change everything.

In this powerful episode, we explore Zac’s transformation—from a man haunted by loss and caught in destructive patterns, to a caring leader at the helm of one of the world’s foremost treatment centers. After completing the Beit T’Shuvah program himself, Zac felt a calling: “my purpose was to help others recover and … give back to the organization that saved my life”

His rise is a story of full-circle redemption.

This episode isn’t just about leadership—it’s about legacy. Zac beat every odd: personal loss, spiritual loss, addiction, and crime.

Join us for a conversation that proves: no matter where you start, no matter what or who you lose, it’s never too late to rewrite your story—and help thousands do the same.
