A Long Road Home is a series of real-world stories about the people who work in the on-demand economy. If you’re anything like me, you probably use your phone on a daily basis to get help from people you’ve never met before through services like lyft, uber, instacart, and rinse. These types of businesses make it easy to get help while simultaneously increasing our interactions with strangers every day. My goal for this podcast is to tell some of the amazing stories of the people behind the apps that you use every day.
Hart Bothwell is a singer/songwriter that grew in an upper middle class suburb south of San Francisco who now drives for Uber & Lyft driver in North Carolina. At an early age he was forced to deal with the divorce, depression, and social anxiety that lead him into an an opioid addiction which almost ruined his life. Hart bravely and openly walks us down his path into and out of addiction and explains how his sense of self, relationships, and love for music have been shaped by his struggles and recovery.
