Embracing Changing Appearance

Man Enough and StyleLikeU welcome comedian, stuntman, and Jackass star Steve-O. The self-proclaimed "aging attention whore" embarks on a raw and riveting odyssey of self-revelation. From the nuanced dynamics with his parents to his ascent as a rising star in Hollywood, and the astronomical rise of Jackass that catapulted him into a vortex of unfathomable self-destruction, this episode is an unmissable journey.

Dive into the heart of Steve-O's story as he recounts the harrowing yet inspiring tale of crashing to rock bottom and his extraordinary resurgence. He bravely confronts his battles with alcohol, drug, and sex addiction, revealing the grit and resilience required to overcome these challenges. His narrative is a testament to the power of transformation and redemption.

His raw reflections on the turbulent years characterized by destructive patterns in relationships are both enlightening and cathartic, offering a rare glimpse into his transformative path toward sobriety, celibacy, and the pursuit of becoming a man deserving of love.

This episode is an exploration into the human spirit's capacity for vulnerability, humility, and profound healing. Steve-O's story is a powerful beacon for anyone seeking inspiration on their path of personal growth.

STEVE-O QUOTATIONS:

“Now, I think that our human experience is just a ridiculously cruel prank on us. Because we only have one instinct, which is to survive. But we've only got one guarantee, which is we won't survive” 

“I was actually treating them specifically the way I most fear being treated myself. It's just like using people up and throwing them away and and I knew exactly what a piece of shit I was so I promised myself I'm not gonna act out anymore.”

“I felt strongly that my mission was to become the man that the love of my life deserves, I needed to do that because like there was no such thing for me as meeting the love of my life 'cause I would have been useless to that person.”
