Building Bradley's House: A Chat with Jim Nowell on Healing Through Music

Every dollar of that money goes into the bank account of the Knoll Family Foundation, which is going to be going to help support Bradley's house, which we're grinding.
Ever wondered how a family can turn a personal tragedy into a beacon of hope for others? Todd Zalkins sits down with Jim Nowell to explore the heartfelt mission behind the Nowell Family Foundation and their ambitious project, Bradley's House. After losing his son, Bradley Nowell, the founder of Sublime, to a heroin overdose in 1996, Jim and his family have been on a relentless journey to support those grappling with addiction.
In this episode, you'll hear about the foundation's efforts to create Bradley's House, a non-profit rehab center aimed at helping indigent musicians find their way to recovery. Jim shares the challenges they face in fundraising and the importance of community support, painting a vivid picture of the highs and lows of running a non-profit. The conversation isn't just about the hurdles; it's also filled with hope and determination.
Jim talks about upcoming initiatives like benefit concerts featuring big names like Gwen Stefani, all designed to raise awareness and funds for their cause. This episode offers a deep dive into the intersection of music, addiction, and recovery, highlighting how one family's loss is paving the way for countless others to find hope. Tune in for an inspiring discussion that underscores the power of community and the transformative impact of turning pain into purpose.
