Carlos Navarro's Journey: From Rock Bottom to Marvel Stardom

If you take pride in everything that you do, you'll raise your standard.
Ever wondered what it takes to transform a life of chaos into one of success and fulfillment? Carlos Navarro, actor and radio personality, joins the 'Recovery Rocks' podcast to share his remarkable story. Co-hosted by Tawny Lara and special guest Irina Gonzalez, this episode dives deep into Carlos's past, marked by addiction, legal troubles, and personal turmoil. From earning three mugshots to an infamous on-stage brawl, Carlos's life was anything but smooth sailing.
However, in 2007, he made a life-altering decision to quit drinking and focus on personal growth. This pivotal moment set him on a path to not only sobriety but also professional success, landing roles in popular TV shows like 'The Walking Dead' and Marvel's 'Hawkeye'. Carlos opens up about the struggles he faced, particularly within the Latinx community, where cultural norms often stigmatize mental health and addiction issues.
He emphasizes the importance of self-reflection and personal development in achieving long-term sobriety. With seven years of sobriety under his belt, Carlos's story is a testament to the power of resilience and the impact of taking pride in one's actions. Tune in to hear how he turned his life around and what keeps him motivated today. Plus, enjoy a special Music Minute featuring Eminem and Billy Joel.
