Description

Brent gets really real as he shares his childhood trauma with his dysfunctional family and how it eventually led to serious drug abuse and addiction.  He tells vivid details of how his drug use went for being a means of coping and fitting in to the cool crowd to taking a dark turn for the worst.  Contemplating suicide on many occasions and finally hitting rock bottom when another drug user stole his car, many of his personal possessions, and left him in the middle of the Nevada desert on a cold November night.  This led him to finally seek help and get into treatment.  His journey has been a 25 year process, but today, Brent celebrates 8 years, clean and sober.  He shares what enabled him to pull himself back to a real life, filled with opportunities, forgiveness, and acceptance.  If you would like to be inspired by a story of true redemption, this is it!Brent is a dog lover, with a career in long-term care administration, providing services for our senior population.  Brent's ProfileBe a GuestFollow Us on FacebookPower Moments With MaddoxAll Maddox's Links

Coach Maddox, host of The Authentic Gay Man Podcast, reveals why so many gay men experience loneliness and isolation and the steps they can take, so they can create deep meaningful friendships that help them experience a profound sense of belonging and community. If you have ever felt like you were on the outside looking in, you’re not alone. It's a common theme among gay men. Maybe you are wondering what it means to be an Authentic Gay Man? Maddox engages his guests in honest and raw conversations, concerning topics that gay men rarely speak about. When we are able to get real with ourselves, it enables us to get real with others. That creates emotional intimacy…something we often fear and crave at the same time. Discover how to become more authentic and vulnerable, so you are magnetic to the people you engage with. Tune into each episode for a raw, candid, and uncensored exploration into the challenges of being an Authentic Gay Man.
