What happens when money is flowing… but your life is falling apart?

In this raw and unfiltered episode of Break Phree Podcast, Atlanta entrepreneur Arthur “Art,” owner of Twelve 33 Sneaker Store, reveals how he was building a million-dollar sneaker business while secretly battling addiction to Percocet, Xanax, and lean for over seven years.

Born and raised in Atlanta, Art opens up about hiding addiction behind success, the pressure of entrepreneurship, the mental war of staying high while staying profitable, and the breaking point that forced him to choose between death and freedom.

Now almost two years sober, Art shares how faith, discipline, and accountability helped him rebuild his life, lead with clarity, and redefine what real success looks like.

This episode is proof that you can lose yourself chasing success — but you can also find yourself again.

🎯 In this episode you’ll hear:

• What it means to be a “million dollar addict”

• How addiction hid behind money and success

• The moment everything changed

• Life and business after sobriety

• What freedom truly looks like

If you’re fighting addiction, building a business, or searching for purpose — this episode is for you.

This episode is family… unfiltered.

In Part 2 of Can You Stand The Rain, it’s not just me and my partner Lee — it’s also Keandre “Rock”, the child we gained custody of, joining the conversation.

We open up about:

• Rock’s life before coming into our home

• The emotional transition of starting over

• What it’s like adjusting to a new family dynamic

• How my decision to take custody without Lee’s consent almost cost me my relationship

• The tension between doing what feels right and doing what’s easy

• And how love stretches when responsibility shows up

This episode isn’t about perfection.

It’s about choosing purpose over comfort.

Choosing family when it’s complicated.

And trusting God when the rain doesn’t stop.

Because sometimes obedience doesn’t look pretty…

but it changes lives.

This episode is different.

This one is real.

I sit down with my partner, Lee, and we open the door to the parts of our relationship most people hide.

We talk about:

• Him losing his mother at just 12 years old

• How unresolved grief showed up in his adult relationships

• His infidelity

• Me bringing a child into our home without telling him first

• The tension, the healing, the hard conversations

• And the choice to stay, grow, and rebuild anyway

This isn’t a fairytale love story.

It’s a faith-in-the-middle-of-the-mess story.

Because love isn’t proven in the sunshine…

It’s revealed in the rain.

She lost 10 years of her life to addiction.

Not just to pills—but to shame, survival, and silence.

Lara’s addiction led to federal prison, the loss of custody of her children, and a moment so dark she was nearly set on fire in her sleep. She has lived the kind of pain most people never talk about… and some never survive.

But prison didn’t have the final word.

Trauma didn’t have the final word.

Addiction didn’t have the final word.

In the darkest place of her life, Laura encountered a God who didn’t walk away—He walked toward her. What followed was not just sobriety, but surrender. Not just freedom, but faith. Not just survival, but purpose.

This episode is for anyone who thinks they’ve gone too far…

For the woman carrying guilt she can’t shake…

For the person who feels forgotten, discarded, or unworthy of grace.

Lara’s story is proof that God still restores what life tried to destroy.
