Today’s episode is unlike any I’ve ever shared. It’s a conversation with my late father, Alan Storey—recorded in 2018, but never meant for the public. After his passing in January 2025, I felt called to revisit this powerful archive of family history, healing, and redemption. While it wasn’t originally intended for listeners, I’ve come to realize that this story holds universal themes worthy of sharing.

This is more than a podcast—it’s an offering from one generation to the next. We dive into stories from his childhood in a rough Colorado oil town, his battles with addiction, his unlikely healing journey, and the wisdom he earned along the way. This is a raw, emotional, and sometimes wild conversation—one that I hope brings comfort, healing, and inspiration to anyone navigating loss or seeking to better understand where they come from.
