Ep. 103 - What It Means to Live Sober Out Loud with Trey Laird

In this episode of the Finding Purpose Podcast, Adam sits down with Trey Laird, CEO and founder of The Lighthouse Sober Living and Lighthouse Recovery Coaching 365, for a powerful conversation on transformation, recovery, and what it truly means to live a purpose-driven life.

Trey's journey is one of reinvention.

After spending over two decades on Wall Street as an equities trader, building a life that looked successful from the outside, Trey found himself battling addiction behind the scenes. What began with opiate pain medication eventually evolved into a daily cycle of substance use that impacted his family, relationships, and sense of self.

In 2008, Trey made the decision to seek treatment—marking the beginning of a recovery journey that would ultimately reshape his entire life.

What followed wasn't just sobriety—it was transformation.

Through community, honesty, and a commitment to growth, Trey not only rebuilt his life but discovered a deeper calling: helping others do the same. In 2016, he founded The Lighthouse, creating a space for men—and later women—to recover while still engaging in real life, work, family, and responsibility.

This conversation dives deep into the realities of addiction, the power of community, the evolution from consequence-driven to purpose-driven recovery, and how service becomes the foundation for lasting fulfillment.

What We Discuss
  • Trey's early life, family dynamics, and the role of community and friendships
  • His 22-year career on Wall Street and the culture surrounding it
  • The progression of addiction and how it quietly took hold
  • Entering treatment in 2008 and the early days of recovery
  • The power of honesty and transparency in the workplace
  • How sharing his story created deeper connection and accountability
  • The importance of community in sustaining recovery
  • Why recovery is not one-size-fits-all and looks different for everyone
  • The difference between consequence-driven and purpose-driven sobriety
  • Building a life centered around service and helping others
  • The role of fun and fulfillment in early recovery
  • Developing a "board of directors" and surrounding yourself with the right people
  • Navigating resentment, forgiveness, and self-awareness
  • Spirituality vs. religion and the role of faith in recovery
  • Emotional regulation and letting go of the need to control outcomes
  • The power of vulnerability and living authentically
  • How purpose often finds you—not the other way around
