In this powerful episode, Connor Treacy shares his deeply personal story—one that began with childhood trauma and spiraled into addiction, public nightlife fame, and eventually, powerful transformation. After experiencing the shocking murder of his aunt at age 4 and navigating the emotional toll of his parents’ divorce, Conner turned to drugs at a young age. By 19, he made the life-altering decision to get sober.
From working at Universal Music Group to organizing the legendary Project X-style party and owning the iconic OffSunset nightclub, Connor was at the center of Los Angeles nightlife. But when the club closed, he faced a devastating identity crisis.
Today, Connor is rewriting his story as a law student and civic engagement advocate, using his past to fuel meaningful change. This episode explores grief, sobriety, identity, reinvention—and how it's never too late to start again.
