A 6-Hour SWAT Standoff Changed His Life: Taveuan Williams

Season 6 · Episode 146

Thursday, November 5, 2026 • Duration 01:39:46

Growing up in a gang-heavy neighborhood in Denver, Colorado, Taveaun Williams was exposed to a world of crime and violence at an early age. He became involved in electronics home robberies as a young teenager and began cycling through juvenile prisons by the age of 13.

At just 19 years old, Taveaun robbed a RadioShack in 2012, leading to a six-hour standoff inside the store involving a hostage negotiation team and SWAT officers trying to convince him to surrender. He ultimately received a 30-year prison sentence.

But what happened behind bars would change the trajectory of his life. Rather than allowing his circumstances to define him, Taveaun embarked on an incredible journey of reading, education, self-reflection, and personal growth. Over time, the young man who entered prison became someone entirely different.

Released in February 2026, Taveaun is now stepping into a new chapter of life with a perspective shaped by years of hard lessons and transformation.

It was great getting to sit down with Taveaun and hear his story firsthand. This is a conversation about the consequences of our choices, the power of education, and what can happen when someone decides that their past doesn't have to determine their future.

From Adolescent 5150s to Ecstasy, Acid, Drinking, Whippets and DUIs to Sobriety, Spirituality, and Being a Guiding Light for Men in Recovery

Season 6 · Episode 141

Thursday, September 17, 2026 • Duration 02:18:00

Jan spent years chasing a good time without much of a direction for his life. Acid, ecstasy, whippets and heavy drinking eventually became multiple DUIs and a growing realization that the life he was living wasn’t sustainable. He moved around, tried to stop, started again, and eventually spent two years using meth before everything finally came crashing down.

On June 20, 2016, Jan went to treatment in Canada. He has not used drugs or alcohol since.

After getting sober, Jan moved to San Diego and began building the kind of life he never really had a roadmap for. Today, he works as a clinician and program manager at a treatment center, where he helps men work through addiction, find direction and start creating lives they actually want to live.

In this conversation, Jan talks openly about what finally brought him to his knees, what changed once he stopped running, and the spiritual practices that have become an important part of his recovery. He also shares some of the ways he works with men in treatment and the lessons he has learned from watching people rebuild their lives from the ground up.

Today's episode is brought to you by Sacred Journey Recovery in San Diego, CA. ⁠⁠Sacred Journey⁠⁠ is a mens only treatment center that blends modern clinical care with immersive outdoor therapy for men facing addiction. Each part of treatment is structured, supervised, and tied to a clear clinical goal, then reinforced through real-life application.

PART TWO: The Conspiracy to Murder Her Mother with Charlie Wolf (formerly known as Tylar Witt)

Season 6 · Episode 140

Thursday, September 10, 2026 • Duration 01:51:05

TW: suicidal ideation, violence, homicide, overdose

PART TWO: On the night of June 11, 2009, Joanne Witt was murdered by her teenage daughter Tylar and Tylar's boyfriend Steven "Boston" Colver, one or both of whom stabbed Witt 20 times on the upper half of her body. I sat down with Tylar (Charlie Wolf), to hear the story in her words. We talk about her childhood, meeting her boyfriend, Steve, the escalation of that romance and how it began to clash with the escalation of her mother's alcoholism.

Charlie was sentenced to 15 years to life and Steven is currently serving life without parole. Charlie was released on parole in 2023. After her release, she remarried but her husband tragically overdosed on fentanyl last year. Charlie goes through her whole story, no holds barred, detailing her relationship and rationale behind her decision to murder her mother. We discuss life in prison and ultimately how she came to terms with what happened, her role in what happened and her journey of rehabiltation in prison.

High Functioning: What Actually Makes Rehab Work with Dr. Towers, Clinical Director of Seasons Malibu

Season 6 · Episode 138

Tuesday, September 1, 2026 • Duration 50:23

What actually makes addiction treatment work?

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Tiffany Towers, Clinical Director at Seasons in Malibu, to go behind the scenes of what it takes to create and maintain a truly high-quality treatment program. We talk about how Seasons builds an incredibly varied team of clinicians, why different perspectives matter, and how they decide which therapeutic modalities are worth bringing into the program.

We also get into some of the questions people often have about treatment but don't always get to ask: What role should Twelve Step play in recovery? Can the beach actually be therapeutic? What happens when someone relapses while they're in treatment? And what are clinicians seeing as new substances and patterns of use emerge?

Dr. Towers also shares what she's seeing with the growing number of people coming into treatment for kratom detox, and how increasing regulations in California are changing the treatment landscape.

This conversation isn't just for people considering rehab. It's for anyone interested in addiction, recovery, therapy, or becoming a better-informed participant in their own personal growth. The more we understand about how treatment decisions are made, the better equipped we are to ask questions, advocate for ourselves, and choose the approaches that actually make sense for us.

Today's episode is brought to you by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Seasons ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠in Malibu. For over 18 years, Seasons has been a sanctuary for individuals seeking to reclaim their lives from addiction and mental health challenges. Our story began with a simple but profound vision: To create a luxurious sanctuary for individuals struggling with addiction or mental health issues, where they can receive the finest, evidence-based treatment in the world.

Built on Compassion, Driven by Excellence

What started as a small number of compassionate professionals has grown into one of the nation’s most respected luxury treatment centers. But growth has never meant losing sight of what matters most—the individual engaging with our therapists, one-on-one, taking the courageous first step toward healing.From the beginning, we understood that truly transformative treatment requires more than clinical protocols. It demands a personalized approach, led by the most qualified professionals, in an environment that nurtures the whole person. That’s why we’ve assembled a team where every primary therapist holds a Doctorate in Psychology - a distinction virtually unmatched in our field.

Stoner Surf Culture becomes Hell's Angel's Meth Culture, Arrested Twice in ONE Day, Hallucinating About Rob Dyrdek?? Gunnar's Story Will Entertain and Inspire You

Season 6 · Episode 137

Friday, August 28, 2026 • Duration 01:28:06

(Encore episode - originally aired November 2025)

Gunnar grew up in what looked like the perfect family - until addiction slowly unraveled everything. After his parents fell deeper into their own substance use, his mother disappeared without a word, leaving Gunnar to navigate a childhood suddenly marked by instability and pain.

By his teens, he turned to meth and heroin, beginning a long cycle of drug court, jail stays, and surviving on the streets of downtown San Diego. But Gunnar’s story didn’t end there. Through grit, recovery, and a community that believed in him, he rebuilt his life from the ground up.

Now three years sober, Gunnar has graduated college and applied to graduate school with a mission: to advocate for the homeless community he once belonged to and push for real policy change.

This episode is a powerful testament to resilience, redemption, and the impact of turning lived experience into purpose.
