Episode 11: Douglas Brackmann

Those who know Dr. Doug trust him to help us escape our own hell because he's been there. On the constant Driven quest for dopamine, Doug discovered drugs as a teenager and was a high school dropout living in his car at the age of 17. After a stent in the psych ward and rehab, Doug gained agency and began his work to harness his Driven traits. He went on to earn a dual PhD in clinical and organizational psychology, diving deep into the study of self-sabotage, shame, and chronic discontent that was so familiar to him. Dr. Doug shares with us his perspective on addiction, spirituality, and meditation, as well as his own fears and daily call to do the work.
