In this episode of Rise Up, Jordan Leigh Foundation members Jodi McCullough and Trisha Richardson sit down with Jake DeMarsh, a musician and survivor of addiction to explore the transformative power of self-awareness and music. Jake opens up about his struggles with addiction, starting at a young age in the Greater Toronto Area where he found himself surrounded by the wrong crowd. He shares the raw, difficult realities of living with addiction for most of his life. But today, Jake has been sober for years and music has been a constant companion.
