Dr. Drew has spent decades in the public eye, but sitting down with him revealed the man behind the microphone.

We talked about his journey from medical school to becoming one of the most recognizable doctors in America, and how his work in the ICU, psychiatry, and addiction medicine gave him a rare window into the full spectrum of the human experience. He shared deeply personal stories about raising triplets, facing his child’s brain surgery, and how his own childhood trauma shaped both his empathy and his work ethic.

Dr. Drew didn’t shy away from tough topics. We dug into the nature of addiction, why childhood trauma is often the hidden catalyst, and how he believes cities like Los Angeles could actually solve the homelessness crisis if they had the courage to act. He was candid about mental health, loss, and the need for pragmatic solutions in a world that too often favors ideology over reality.

This conversation is full of lessons from someone who has truly seen it all- inside the hospital and out in the world.
