Zachary Small: From Navy Veteran to Community Builder in Recovery
What matters is who we can become when we stand back up and dust ourselves off.
Meet Zachary Small, a man whose journey from binge drinking to sobriety is nothing short of inspiring. At 34, Zach is a Navy veteran, husband, father of two, and now, a beacon of hope for those battling addiction. After 20 years of binge drinking, Zach found himself at a crossroads. Two Navy deployments and years of internal struggle led him to a powerful realization: he needed to change his life, not just for himself but for his family and community.
Now 1.5 years sober, Zach has turned his life around and is on a mission to help others do the same. He founded TheFamilyAlpha.com, a platform dedicated to helping men become the best versions of themselves through blogs, YouTube videos, and podcasts. But that's not all. In 2020, he launched Forbear Clothing Co., a family-focused clothing brand that embodies his values of strength and unity.
And if that wasn't enough, he also runs Fraternity of Excellence, a private men's community aimed at fostering genuine connections and personal growth. In this episode of 'Recovery Revolution Live', hosted by JR Weaver, Carl Fessenden, and Brett Morris, Zach opens up about his struggles with addiction and the pivotal moments that led to his sobriety. He challenges traditional views on masculinity and emphasizes the importance of personal responsibility and accountability.
Through candid conversations, Zach shares how his various ventures have given him a renewed sense of purpose and meaning in life. This episode isn't just about Zach's journey; it's about the transformative power of community and the importance of surrounding oneself with positive influences. Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, Zach's story offers valuable insights and inspiration.
