Episode #1077 - Tommy Carrigan

Rock Bottom, Sobriety, and the Podcast That Saved My Life

Tommy Kerrigan, host of Tommy’s Podcast with over 2,070 episodes since 2019, hopped on the podcast. Once a pre-med student who got into medical school but walked away because he wasn’t happy, Tommy’s world collapsed after his older brother’s suicide. Deeply depressed, overweight, and living with his parents at 26, he started the podcast out of desperation to become his own boss and escape rock bottom. The discussion covers persistence (“just don’t quit”), his sobriety journey, losing 70 lbs, rediscovering self-love, finding God, and the unpredictable joy of authentic podcasting—from geopolitics to random laser-cleaning business owners.
