My HoneyDew this week is former professional skater and motivational speaker, Brandon Novak! Check out his website BrandonNovak.com to learn more about how he can help if you are struggling with addiction, and pick up any of his published pieces of work to hear more about his story. Brandon joins me this week to Highlight the Lowlights of being a Baltimore boy, having a nuclear physicist for a mother and a Hells Angel for a dad, how he found skating as a teen, and his journey in and out of addiction. Brandon and I share our love of Baltimore, knowing the same places like Sports Elite, where he would meet other skate legend Bucky Larson. We dive into how Brandon’s addiction progressed, the wildest places it would take him, having Bam Margera helped him and how he eventually turned it around to owning 7 sober living facilities where he helps others find their path to a clean life today.
