I always say the funny thing is I'm actually a pretty decent person if you were to talk to people now.
Imagine growing up in the gritty underground music scene of 1970s California. For Wayne Nale, this wasn't just a phase; it was a life-defining experience that led him down a path of addiction and eventually, recovery. In this episode of Better Life in Recovery, David Stoecker chats with Wayne about his unique journey.

Wayne talks about the growth of the festival, its future plans, and how it's become a cornerstone for those seeking solace and community support. The episode also dives into the broader impacts of substance use disorders on communities and the critical role of addressing mental health and trauma.
One standout moment is when Wayne humorously reflects, 'I always say the funny thing is I'm actually a pretty decent person if you were to talk to people now'. With its blend of personal anecdotes and broader insights, this episode is both heartwarming and enlightening. Tune in to hear how one man's love for music transformed into a mission to help others find their way to recovery.
