On this episode of Overcome Outloud Charlie sits down with Joel Relampagos whose story is compelling and inspiring. Charlie is honored to call him a friend. After coming out on MTV in an emotionally charged and very public way Joel’s star was on the rise. His talent was very evident to everyone in Hollywood as he rose through the ranks and became a well known and respected executive producer. Best known for his work executive producing NBC’s hit show The Biggest Loser, his work also includes Hell’s Kitchen and Going For Broke with Ashton Kutcher. On the outside Joel seemed to have it all. The cars, the house, the money, and the dream Hollywood job, but in the inside he was sad and lonely, and turned to alcohol to numb the pain. Listen as Joel vulnerably shares about coming to terms with childhood trauma, finding recovery and now turning his attention to smashing the stigma of mental health issues and addiction through his program Change Your Algorithm.
