Zach Skow: Finding Sobriety and Purpose with Marley's Mutts
“You don't need drugs and alcohol to connect, you don't need drugs, and alcohol to be a better lover is actually going to make you a worse lover, and you are enough and you are worthy.”
Imagine hitting rock bottom and then finding a lifeline in the most unexpected place. That's the incredible story of Zach Skow, the founder of Marley's Mutts, as he shares his journey on this episode of 'Sober is Dope' with POP Buchanan. Diagnosed with end-stage liver disease in 2008, Zach was in a dark place, relying on alcohol just to get through the day.
But his love for dogs and a deep desire to help them led him to a path of recovery and service. Zach explains how he saw himself in the abandoned dogs he rescued, both feeling unwanted and broken. This connection became his motivation to change his life and help others do the same.
Throughout the episode, Zach and POP dive into topics like the importance of going back to basics in recovery, dealing with shame and relapse, and the transformative power of service. Zach's heartfelt message is clear: you don't need substances to connect or feel worthy. If you're seeking inspiration and hope on your own journey to sobriety, this conversation is a must-listen.
