Ed is a self-taught IT engineer—brilliant, curious, and quick to solve problems. But growing up, his intelligence made him feel like an outsider. The smarter he became, the less he fit in with the world around him. That loneliness opened the door to addiction, and eventually, Ed burned himself out completely. He reached a point where he didn’t want to die, but he didn’t know how to keep living either.

And that’s where everything began to change.

Today, Ed is a school teacher, mentoring and nurturing kids who feel just like he once did. He’s a husband, a leader, and a man who rebuilt his life from the edge.

In this episode, we explore how someone who never felt like he belonged finally found purpose—and how hitting bottom became his way up.
