The GDC Project
The GDC Project Podcast is a show about growth, recovery, discipline, and building a meaningful life—one decision at a time.
Hosted by Tim McGrath, this podcast explores what it really takes to overcome addiction, rebuild relationships, strengthen families, and create lasting personal change. Through honest conversations with people in recovery, mental health professionals, coaches, entrepreneurs, and everyday individuals doing the work, we dive into the systems, habits, and mindset required to move forward—especially when life gets hard.
The GDC Project stands for Greater Days Coming. Our mission is to provide education, tools, and community for individuals and families navigating addiction, recovery, and personal development. This podcast is an extension of that mission: real stories, practical guidance, and hard-earned wisdom for anyone who believes their best days are still ahead.
Whether you’re in recovery, supporting someone who is, or simply trying to become a stronger version of yourself, this podcast is for you.
New episodes weekly.
