Mike Meeker: From Rock Bottom to Higher Ground on The Z-Man Podcast

What I really found in those rooms was a connection with god and higher power, whatever you want to call it.
Ever wondered how two childhood friends from Southern California navigated the turbulent waters of addiction and came out stronger? In this episode of The Z-Man Podcast, Todd Zalkins sits down with his business partner and The Long Way Back Film producer, Mike Meeker. They take a nostalgic trip down memory lane, reminiscing about their days playing music and idolizing bands like Iron Maiden and Metallica.
But it’s not all rock 'n' roll; Todd and Mike dive deep into their personal battles with addiction and their inspiring paths to recovery. They candidly discuss the ups and downs of the entertainment industry and how it has shaped their lives. Their new venture, Higher Ground, is also in the spotlight—a project aimed at supporting people in recovery.
Mike shares how finding a spiritual connection in recovery rooms has been his anchor, while Todd talks about his journey to becoming an interventionist and public speaker. They emphasize the importance of community support and the strength found in connecting with a higher power. Whether you're struggling with addiction, know someone who is, or are simply interested in stories of resilience, this episode offers a heartfelt look at the power of friendship, spirituality, and community in overcoming life's toughest challenges.
