Brad McLeod
Brad McLeod is the host of Sober Motivation, one of the most-downloaded recovery podcasts in the world. Born a twin to a 16-year-old mother, Brad grew up navigating ADHD, feelings of inadequacy, and a deep sense of not fitting in. By 16 he was experiencing suicidal ideation and had already cycled through psychiatric hospitals and treatment programs before ever picking up a substance.
It was in college, living on his own for the first time, that Brad found cocaine. A lifelong victim mentality deepened his spiral, and a comfort with failure kept him from reaching for something better. It took an arrest at an airport and a year in prison to finally stop running from himself. That turning point became the foundation for everything Sober Motivation stands for.
Through 280+ honest conversations with people who chose to live without substances, Brad helps listeners understand not just recovery, but themselves.
