Who We Know
Who We Know with Patrick Aziz is a podcast about our lives and the connections between us. The show is a bit like a game of tag, where one guest nominates the next, who nominates the next, and so on. This daisy chain of life illustrates how we are all connected in this world, listeners and participants together. So join us in playful conversations to learn a little about what makes us who we are, exploring any insights about life’s wisdom along the way.

Chip and I discuss his challenging journey from a childhood rife with abuse to his turning to drugs and alcohol, the resultant misery that came from addiction, and finally an incredible turnaround during the second half of his life to become a renowned addiction therapist and public servant. Chip founded the acclaimed rehab center Focus12 in England and ran it for 20 years, and continues his life's work in helping others with recovery through his private practice and his podcast, Soberful, with Veronica Valli.
