Brandon Novak: From Skateboarding Fame to Sobriety Advocate

The only time that I had the ability to win this fight was when I admitted defeat, and it's okay, I know it goes against, like everything that we do and say and how we live to be on the street.
Brandon Novak's life is a rollercoaster of dizzying highs and crushing lows. Discovered by skateboarding legend Tony Hawk at just 14, Novak's early years were filled with global competitions and filming commercials with icons like Michael Jordan. Yet, behind the glittering façade, his life was spiraling out of control due to alcohol and heroin addiction. By the time he reached rock bottom, fame and fortune couldn't save him from his struggles.
Seven years ago, Brandon received the gift of sobriety, and his journey since then has been nothing short of transformative. In this episode of 'The Payoff with Pete', Brandon opens up about his tumultuous past and the steps he took to reclaim his life. He talks candidly about the challenges of rehab, the importance of support from friends and family, and how he now dedicates his life to helping others through his initiative, Novak's House.
Brandon's story is a compelling reminder that no matter how far you've fallen, there's always a way back up. His tale is not just about overcoming addiction but also about finding purpose and meaning in sobriety. Tune in to hear how Brandon turned his life around and how he's now inspiring others to do the same.
