Eric Zimmer – From Rock Bottom to Radical Transformation
He was homeless. Addicted. Sick with hepatitis C. Eric Zimmer had every reason to give up—and every excuse not to change. But he didn’t. He clawed his way back from the edge and rebuilt a life of purpose, integrity, and impact. Today, Eric is the creator of The One You Feed—an award-winning podcast with over 50 million downloads and 800+ deep-dive conversations into what it really takes to live a meaningful life.
In this gripping episode, Eric doesn’t just tell his story—he dismantles the myths around addiction, recovery, and personal growth. Forget the Hollywood version of “rock bottom.” Eric shows us why relapse isn’t failure, why motivation is overrated, and how small, wise habits can change everything—even when life gets brutally hard.
You’ll learn:
- Why willpower alone won’t save you—and what actually works instead
- How resistance and relapse are part of the healing process
- The science and spirituality behind lasting transformation
- How to build habits that hold up when everything else falls apart
- A sneak peek into Eric’s upcoming book, How a Little Becomes a Lot—a powerful guide to sustainable change without the hype
Whether you’re in recovery, supporting someone who is, or just trying to live with more clarity and depth, this conversation will shake you up—in the best way. Eric Zimmer doesn’t preach. He teaches. And what he teaches could change your life.
Hit play. This episode is unforgettable.
