This episode contains discussions of alcoholism (4:23-13:21) and the death of a child (5:20-9:04).
Sal, once faced with unimaginable challenges, triumphed over adversity. After the tragic loss of his son, the departure of his girlfriend, and the subsequent spiral into depression and alcoholism, Sal found redemption. A turning point came when he decided to fight for his life, seeking God and through faith and repentance. God answered his prayers, leading him to a path of recovery.
Sal's commitment to transformation led him to abstain from alcohol, engage in endurance sports like Spartan runs and Ironmans, and dedicate years to volunteering. He became an active member of his church, pursued education, and earned a place on the dean's list.
Now a decade sober, Sal is a devoted father to two sons, providing them with love and support. Overcoming stress-induced hair loss, he discovered scalp micro pigmentation and, fascinated by the process, ventured into the industry. For the past 4 1/2 years, Sal has successfully run an SMP clinic in Seaside, California, attributing his remarkable journey to the guiding hand of God.
