Today’s guest is John Foskett. Someone with a story that could have gone very differently. He picked up drugs for the first time as a young child, went through addiction himself, and eventually found himself in residential treatment. But fast-forward over 12 years, and John Foskett is drug-free, and he’s taken those experiences and turned them into something positive.
After being thrown out of school at just 15, John went on to get an education in UCC, build a career working in homeless services, start a family, and most recently, launch his own podcast, What Saves Me.
And that’s really what John’s story is about, recovery, mental health, the battles that people often fight behind closed doors, and finding the things, the people and the reasons that keep us going.
There’s no pretending that life is always easy, and John speaks openly about some very difficult experiences, but there’s also a huge amount of hope in his story.
So today we’re going to get to know the man behind the podcast, the experiences that shaped him, what recovery has taught him, and ultimately, what saves John Foskett.
