Brandon Novak: Skating Through Addiction to Sobriety

The only time that I had the ability to win this fight was when I admitted defeat.
Ever wondered what it's like to be a pro skateboarder at just 14? Brandon Novak knows firsthand. Discovered by Tony Hawk, Brandon's early years were filled with fame, global travel, and even filming commercials with Michael Jordan. But behind the scenes, addiction was taking over his life. Alcohol and heroin became his main focus, leading him down a dark path of multiple relapses and homelessness.
In this episode of 'The Payoff with Pete', Brandon opens up about his tumultuous journey and the hard-fought battle for sobriety. His story isn't just about hitting rock bottom; it's about the climb back up. With seven years of sobriety under his belt, Brandon now dedicates his life to helping others navigate their own recovery journeys. He emphasizes the crucial role of a supportive community and how it can make all the difference in staying sober.
From the highs of professional skateboarding to the lows of addiction, Brandon's tale is a testament to resilience and the power of second chances. Tune in to hear how he turned his life around and became a beacon of hope for those struggling with addiction.
