This week Jeff speaks with filmmaker turned visual artist, Bret Roberts about how a sobriety intervention changed the course of his life over eight years ago. He has since taken up painting and is now a globally recognized artist. Brett and Jeff go way back and talk about how they met in college, how they have maintained a friendship over a series of freakish chance encounters, and how alcohol almost destroyed the biggest break of Bret's acting career.
