Rocking Through Recovery: Todd Zalkins Chats with Wes Geer

When you're acknowledged by another, yeah, it feels good. That intangible is something that I never thought, that the greatness of that and the overwhelming power is.
Imagine blending the raw energy of rock music with the healing journey of recovery. That's exactly what happens when Todd Zalkins sits down with Wes Geer, the founder of HedPE and touring guitarist with Korn, in this compelling episode of 'The Z-Man Podcast'. They take a trip down memory lane, reminiscing about the 90s music scene and the wild ride that came with it.
Wes opens up about the early days of HedPE, one of the first bands to mix rock with a DJ, and the crazy night that led to their big break—and a stint in jail. But it's not all rock 'n' roll chaos. Wes dives deep into his personal battle with addiction and how hitting rock bottom led him to create Rock to Recovery, a non-profit that uses music to help others on their recovery journey.
The conversation shifts to the transformative power of music and mentorship, highlighting how these elements can be lifelines for those struggling with addiction. Todd shares his own experiences, emphasizing the importance of community and support in overcoming addiction. This episode is a rollercoaster of emotions, filled with laughter, heartfelt moments, and inspiring stories of resilience. It's a must-listen for anyone touched by addiction or interested in the intersection of music and recovery.
