Steve Madden: The Road from Addiction to Shoe Empire

You know, we just had to keep my eyes on getting through it. And, most importantly, uh, I think the most important thing is the fact that I was incarcerated.
Ever wondered how someone can turn a life riddled with addiction into a global success story? In this episode of 'Heart of the Matter' with Elizabeth Vargas, Steve Madden, the renowned shoe mogul, takes us through his tumultuous yet inspiring journey. Before his shoes were a staple in closets worldwide, Madden had to confront his own demons.
He candidly discusses his battles with addiction, the ups and downs of relapse and recovery, and how he managed to rise above it all to build his empire. Madden’s story isn’t just about business success; it’s about personal growth and resilience. He opens up about growing up in a family with a history of substance use disorders and managing ADHD.
Despite multiple setbacks, including time in prison, Madden’s story is a testament to showing up, doing the next right thing, and learning from mistakes. This episode offers a raw look at the challenges and triumphs that come with addiction and recovery, making it a must-listen for anyone touched by these issues.
