S10 E1 - From Darkness Into Light with Trevor Macken

We kick off Season 10 by sitting down with Trevor Macken from Ashbourne Paving, to explore his extraordinary journey from a troubled childhood and social anxiety to becoming a successful entrepreneur, recovery advocate, and business owner.

Trevor opens up about the challenges that shaped his early life, his battle with addiction, and the long road to recovery. He shares how construction became a turning point, leading him into business and giving him a renewed sense of purpose.

We also discuss the realities of social media, the pressures surrounding appearance and cosmetic procedures, and why honest conversations around mental health are more important than ever. Trevor reflects on the mentors who helped change his life, the importance of second chances, and his vision for the future as he continues to grow his wellness and beauty business.

This is an inspiring conversation about resilience, self-belief, and proving that your past doesn’t have to define your future.
