187: I Was A Heroin Addict (The 30-Hour Bus Ride That Saved Me) with Jesse Todisco

Jesse Todisco was a successful salesman by day and a heroin addict by night. Then came the 30-hour bus ride that changed everything.

In this episode of The Modern Man Podcast, I sit down with Jesse Todisco—author of From Heroin to Healer—to discuss the dark reality of high-functioning addiction and the "impossible" journey of recovery. Jesse opens up about breaking the cycle of generational trauma, the truth about quitting cold turkey, and the profound Ayahuasca experience where he reconnected with his deceased daughter.

If you feel stuck, numb, or like you are repeating your father's mistakes, this conversation is the wake-up call you need. We go beyond the surface to discuss why "success" often masks deep pain and how to finally find peace.

In this episode, you will learn:

The Hidden Cost: How high-performers hide addiction and why rock bottom is necessary.

The Impossible Twist: Jesse's firsthand account of seeing his dead daughter during a plant medicine ceremony.

Breaking Trauma: How to stop being "just like your dad" and become the father your children need.

Tactical Tools: How to use Breathwork and "Gratitude Stacking" to hack depression immediately.
