Show Notes
This week we’re joined in studio by Dean McDermott, actor, producer, and storyteller whose life has played out both on screen and in the public eye, but whose real story goes far deeper than what people think they know.
Dean has experienced the highs of success and the lows of personal struggle, all while navigating it in front of the world. But what makes this conversation powerful isn’t the headlines, it’s the honesty behind them.
In this episode, Dean opens up about: • Growing up and finding his path into acting • The moments where things started to spiral • Hitting rock bottom and what forced him to change • Addiction, accountability, and rebuilding your life • What it’s like having your struggles play out publicly • Fatherhood, co-parenting, and showing up for your kids • Mental health, sobriety, and doing the work daily • Why authenticity matters more than ever
This isn’t a surface-level conversation. It’s about taking ownership when you fall short, learning how to rebuild, and understanding that growth doesn’t happen overnight. Dean shares what it really takes to turn things around, not just for yourself, but for the people who depend on you most.
At its core, this episode is about redemption. About becoming a better man, a better father, and continuing to show up, even when it’s hard. Because the real work begins when no one’s watching.Special Thanks To Our Incredible Sponsors: This Episode’s Dad Jokes sponsor: Spicer Landscaping & Snow Removal Services The Clothing and Swag Sponsor: One Bone

He shares what he's learned from interviewing some of the biggest names in entertainment, his relationship with Mocha and how the media industry changed with the rise of social media.
