Get a Grip Podcast

Hosted by Louis Essig and Aaron Garnes, Get a Grip Podcast is a raw, real, and often hilarious exploration of life after addiction, alcoholism, and incarceration. Both in recovery, Louis and Aaron share their personal stories from the depths of struggle to the triumph of healing. With humor, heart, and brutal honesty, they give a voice to the underdog — those who’ve faced the darkest sides of life but continue to rise, fight, and reclaim their futures. Through candid conversations, the duo covers everything from the realities of prison life and the wreckage of addiction to the mental health battles many face on the road to recovery. They mix tough truths with humor to raise awareness, break down stigmas, and remind listeners that recovery isn’t just possible—it’s worth fighting for.
