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. After admitting to his family that he had an opioid addiction, Hart bravely and openly walks us through his recovery and how he reestablished his sense of self, his relationships with his family, and love for music.
