Letting Go Saved His Life | Dr Jill Hubbard

Dr. Jill Hubbard is a clinical psychologist, 25-year radio co-host on New Life Live, author of three books — and a mom who had to watch her son spiral into addiction while knowing all the clinical answers and still feeling powerless to stop it. In this deeply honest conversation, Dr. Jill opens up about the fear, shame, and self-doubt that no degree prepares you for. She shares what it was like to be the expert in the room who couldn't save her own child, why families don't make good treatment systems, the painful gift of estrangement, and how surrendering control ultimately led to a miracle. Whether you're a parent in crisis, someone in recovery, or a mental health professional, this episode will meet you where you are.

Surf, Drugs, & Redemption | Logan Dulien

Mark reconnects with childhood friend Logan Doolan — a Newport Beach local who went from Volcom's first shop grom to producing award-winning surf films, only to lose it all to an OxyContin addiction before staging one of the most unlikely comebacks in surf culture. Logan shares the full story: growing up in Newport with a dysfunctional home life, finding a second family through The Frog House, hosting the world's best junior surfers (Andy Irons, the Hobgoods, Mick Fanning) at his house with zero parental supervision, building the Snap surf film franchise, touring the world with Mickey Avalon, and the slow descent that followed the OxyContin epidemic hitting the surf community. Most powerfully, Logan opens up about how he got clean — not through traditional AA, but through an unconventional recipe of Vivitrol shots and surfing every single day — and how that recovery fueled the creation of Snap 3, 4, and 5, the last of which screened at 60 premieres across 30 countries and won Movie of the Year. This is a story about resilience, redemption, and the healing power of the ocean.

Whether you're in the pit right now or supporting someone who is, this conversation will meet you where you are.
