Louis and Aaron sit down with Lance Ball whose journey is nothing short of extraordinary—heartbreaking, inspiring, and a true testament to the power of resilience and hope.Born into a world stacked against him, Lance didn’t just witness hardship—he lived it, day in and day out. His childhood was shaped by instability, trauma, and survival. His mother, locked in a cycle of poverty and pain, turned to prostitution to provide. His father, consumed by addiction, was largely absent, both physically and emotionally. Lance’s earliest memories aren’t of playgrounds or birthday parties—they’re of dark alleys, strangers coming and going, and the constant presence of drugs and danger. From the very beginning, life offered him no roadmap to peace or purpose.By his teenage years, Lance was already spiraling, numbing the pain with the same substances that stole his father. Addiction sank its teeth in deep, and for a long time, it looked like he might never escape. Arrests, overdoses, broken relationships—it became a cycle of self-destruction that nearly cost him everything. But in the middle of the chaos, something inside Lance refused to give up.That’s when Medically Assisted Treatment (MAT) entered his life. For the first time, he had a fighting chance—not just to survive, but to truly heal. With the support of MAT, counseling, and an unrelenting commitment to change, Lance began the slow, painful, and powerful process of recovery. He learned how to sit with his trauma instead of running from it. He faced the ghosts of his past and began building a future he never thought was possible.Today, Lance is more than sober—he’s transformed. Clean, focused, and grounded, he’s stepping into a brand new chapter of his life: he’s about to become a father himself. It’s a full-circle moment that brings with it both emotion and purpose. He’s determined to break the cycle, to give his child the kind of life he never had, and to use his story to inspire others walking similar paths.In this powerful episode, Lance shares his story with unfiltered honesty.
