Addiction, Redemption, and Sobriety | Justin McLeod’s Second Chance
Description
In this episode of “Edge of My Seat,” host and founder of TUSHY, Miki Agrawal, sits down with Justin McLeod, founder of Hinge, to revisit the night he woke up in a hospital bed with a 0.4 blood alcohol level—and the summer that changed everything.
We dive into the moment his mother called the fire department, the chaos of addiction, and the internal tug-of-war between the part of him that wanted to break free and the part still clinging to escape.
Justin shares how that experience led him into rehab, and how sobriety became the starting point of a deeper, more personal transformation.
Plus, we talk about overstimulation, emotional numbness, and what it means to redefine your life—not around avoidance, but around truth, connection, and becoming someone you actually want to be.
Edge of My Seat is a raw, riveting podcast about life’s messiest moments—and what it really takes to clean them up. Hosted by taboo-smasher and TUSHY founder Miki Agrawal, each two-part episode kicks off with an unfiltered Cybertruck joyride, then dives into a soul-baring conversation about rock bottom—careers lost, identities unraveled, hearts shattered.
It’s a no-holds-barred journey from breakdown to breakthrough, with bold thinkers and cultural rebels getting radically honest about the shit that changed everything—and the emotional hygiene it took to rise again.
Edge of My Seat is a metaphorical bidet for the human experience: blasting through the residue of life’s darkest moments, and coming out the other side cleaner, clearer, and more whole.
Because sometimes, the mess is where the magic begins.
