In this impactful episode of The On Purpose Podcast, host Jerrod Hardy sits down with Ian Fee, a father, author, and advocate for intentional living who completely transformed his life through sobriety, fitness, and personal growth.
Ian shares his powerful journey from alcohol dependency to clarity and purpose, opening up about how quitting drinking reshaped his mental health, relationships, and especially his connection with his children. He explains how habit stacking, daily movement, and surrounding himself with the right people became the foundation for lasting change.
The conversation dives deep into self-discovery, emotional healing, resilience, and vulnerability, including the importance of expressing emotions, forgiving your younger self, and learning to stay present through life’s ups and downs. Ian also discusses the heart behind his movement, Make It Great, and how writing his book Wild Ride to Sobriety became a turning point in owning his truth and inspiring others.
Whether you’re navigating sobriety, rebuilding your life, or simply looking to live with greater intention, this episode is a reminder that change is possible—and that you are always capable of becoming your best self.
