Before the sales floor, there was a fight to rebuild his life.
Steve Puckett joins John Gavin and Bagi to share his journey through 25 years of addiction, homelessness, and recovery—and how the car business became part of his second chance.
In this episode of True Confessions of a Car Guy, Steve talks about his daughter’s role in his recovery, the faith that helped him keep going, and what it took to start over. Along the way, we get into sales, lessons learned at the dealership, and the showroom stories you’d expect from someone who’s lived the business.
You don’t have to sell cars to connect with this one. At its heart, “Against All Odds” is about family, purpose, and finding a way forward when starting over feels impossible.
