In this gripping episode of Going Rogue, host Angie Manson sits down with Nolan Burchett—former Marine, bank robber, and now the co-owner and executive director of multiple recovery centers in Central California. Nolan shares his extraordinary transformation from living a chaotic life of addiction and incarceration to becoming a respected leader in the addiction treatment world.

Together, Angie and Nolan explore:

• His path from college dropout to prison—and what truly woke him up
• The moment that changed everything during a high-speed police chase
• How he rebuilt his life and launched Touchstone Recovery Center
• Why lived experience in staff matters in addiction treatment
• The power of fitness, family healing, and community support in recovery
• The rise of fentanyl, Kratom, and the challenges facing treatment providers
• Why outcome measures, individualized care, and integrity-based leadership are the future of effective rehab
• And yes, the surprising rise of service animals in treatment requests 🐕

Nolan’s story is raw, real, and full of purpose—and it's proof that even in the darkest of moments, change is possible.
