About Darren Hobbs, Founder: As a board-certified interventionist, Darren brings both passion and experience to each client’s family. His work in behavioral health began with his own personal journey to recovery in 2010. Inspired by his own family’s experience, Darren focused his efforts on helping other families in crisis. His understanding of both the addicted mind and the intricacies of family dynamics have helped him facilitate countless successful interventions around the country. As the owner and founder of The Firm Addiction Consulting, Darren is a leading provider of intervention and long-term family support services in the Southeast and has unmatched success in young men’s intervention. As a ten-year industry veteran and Certified Intervention Professional, Darren’s passion for providing high-quality, individualized care to those struggling with addiction extends beyond the intervention experience and has prompted him to help found and operate multiple programs:
In 2017, NRhythm Recovery Residences opened to provide an accountability rich sober living option in Nashville. In 2018, in response to the need for a continuum of care designed to blend community engagement and evidenced-based clinical support for individuals leaving residential treatment, Nashville Recovery Center opened as a PHP/IOP program with a unique community space for hosting recovery meetings, sober events, concerts, etc. In 2020, Nashville Detox opened to extend treatment services to those needing medical detox and psychological assessment prior to receiving residential substance abuse treatment.
About Zach Livingston: For the first decade of his professional life, Zach traveled throughout the country fighting wildfires. While he thrived on the adrenaline of handling life-threatening situations, he also developed a severe addiction that ultimately led to multiple incarcerations and trips to treatment. After finding sobriety in 2017, Zach felt called to translate his ability to calmly navigate intense, chaotic environments and his personal experience with the devastation of addiction into a way to bring hope and healing. From the first call to aftercare planning with clients, Zach makes it clear that he will not negotiate with the disease of addiction and his willingness to show up and walk shoulder to shoulder with the family in their most difficult moments earns him the opportunity to be direct in times of crisis.
Zach is a board-certified interventionist and holds an industry standard CCMI for intervention competence. He has orchestrated countless successful interventions and has joined as a second seat on many more. Zach’s approach to intervention is the Johnson Model as trained by Darren Hobbs after joining his team in 2020. Prior to becoming a full-time interventionist, Zach counseled young men in an inpatient treatment setting. His calm demeanor and down-home delivery help him build strong trusting relationships with his clients and their families.

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
