Listen "How Do You Rise From Rock Bottom And Lead A High Impact Comeback? with Joe Rivera"
Episode Synopsis
In this Mind Over Matter episode, we get real about rock bottom, relapse risk and what a true comeback actually takes. High performance coach and “Comeback King” Joe Rivera walks through his journey from Park Avenue stockbroker to park bench, overdose and spiritual bankruptcy, then into long term sobriety, purpose led leadership and a rebuilt life.
Joe unpacks how ego, hustle culture and “never enough” thinking fuel addiction and burnout, why putting the drugs or alcohol down is only step one and how identity work, core values and community support create a sustainable comeback. This is a straight talking masterclass in resilience, high performance mindset and faith driven reinvention for founders, leaders and high achievers who quietly feel like they are losing themselves behind the highlight reel.
About the Guest :
Joe Rivera is a high performance coach, speaker and founder of Reforge Academy. Known as “The Comeback King,” he went from seven figure Wall Street producer to addiction, overdoses and rock bottom before rebuilding his life through sobriety, spiritual growth and ruthless self honesty. Today he helps leaders and entrepreneurs break through stagnation, rewire limiting beliefs, upgrade their identity and lead from purpose instead of ego.
Key Takeaways :
Resilience is not a slogan. Joe’s story from Park Avenue to park bench shows that real resilience starts when you are sick of your own excuses and finally decide you cannot do it alone.
Addiction is rarely about the substance. It is about the belief system of “never enough,” spiritual emptiness and using drugs, alcohol, work, sex, shopping or food to numb shame and avoid sitting with yourself.
Sobriety is more than quitting. The real work is moral inventory, peeling back the onion, owning the damage you caused, forgiving yourself and consciously building a new identity that matches the legacy you actually want.
Your environment is strategy. Who you walk with shapes who you become, so upgrading your circle, joining hard truth communities and borrowing belief from others can literally save your life and career.
Ego kills comebacks. Leaders stay stuck when they avoid asking for help or entering rooms where they are not the alpha. Dropping the mask, surrendering control and letting others support you is a performance advantage.
Your story is not just yours. Turning pain into service, sharing the messy middle and using your journey to create impact is how you turn survival into legacy and build a comeback that actually lasts.
