When we hear the word addiction, we think of needles, bottles, and rehab. But what if the most dangerous addictions are the ones we don’t even recognize?

In this raw and revealing episode, Evan Francen and Matt Goodacre take on the addictions we normalize — workaholism, chaos, constant stimulation, toxic relationships, tech dependency, and more.

Inspired by Evan’s blog post, “Addiction Isn’t Just Drugs and Booze”, this conversation will dive into:
  • Why addiction is about what we can’t walk away from
  • How the infosec industry rewards addictive behavior while ignoring the damage
  • The hidden cost of being “high-functioning” but not healthy
  • Personal stories of struggle, survival, and learning to say enough
If you’ve ever numbed yourself with work, busyness, or burnout — you’re not alone. This episode is for you.

Tune in for truth, vulnerability, and a better conversation about what addiction really looks like.
