From Misfit to Mentor: The Reinvention of Andrew Eaton

Sicker Than Others

Andrew Eaton never quite fit the mold. Raised by a mother immersed in the arts, he grew up in motion—always moving, always searching, never quite landing. Surrounded by beauty and creativity, he still felt like an outsider, like he’d missed the part where life made sense. So he went looking for belonging in the one place it would never last: heroin.

What started as an escape quickly became a death sentence. Andrew's body began to collapse under the weight of addiction—a devastating bone infection nearly ended his life. He was falling apart physically, emotionally, spiritually. And then, finally, he surrendered.

This episode follows Andrew's harrowing fall and breathtaking rise—from a dying addict to a man who now breathes purpose into others. Today, Andrew is a fierce and compassionate coach, guiding young men from the brink of death into the beauty of life. He teaches them not just how to survive—but how to live.

Andrew Eaton is a living reminder that who you were doesn’t have to be who you are. He was broken. Now, he builds. And what he’s building is saving lives.
