RJ is a father of two, This Naked Mind Certified Self Discovery After Alcohol coach, and the founder of @UntappedKeg , a podcast about sobriety and mental health. Through his personal experiences and insights on sobriety and mental health, RJ encourages others to break the stigma and start living their best lives beyond alcohol.

Join me, Jason LaChance, host of the @KnockinDoorzDown podcast, certified addiction recovery coach, and mental health advocate for my sit down with Stephen Piazza  @stephenpiazza4424 . Born in Northern California (San Jose), Stephen grew up in a strong Christian faith-based family. It was not uncommon for the Piazza family to be at church two and three times a week. In 1989, the Piazza family relocated to the Central Valley (Modesto). As a freshman, Stephen realized that music was becoming a passion in his life. In the late 90's Stephen joined a cover band called Second Avenue which played up and down the Central Valley for 2 years. In 2003, he joined a band called “Five Star Rising” which was signed to a management team, Chris Ricci Presents LLC, in late 2004. Local successes included: Winner of Battle of the Bands (opened for Spin Doctors) Opened for national acts who toured the Modesto area, such as Crossfade, Lit, Blue Oyster Cult, Vanilla Ice, Great White, Smile Empty Soul, The Calling, Third Eye Blind, and others. In 2009, Stephen was signed to an independent record label called “Big Time Records” with a band called “Dazeafter”. “Dazeafter” opened for other bands and had a hit remake of the song “Turn Up the Radio” which played for 3 months on rock stations throughout the nation. In 2014, Stephen produced a single called “Amanda's Web” as a solo artist under Steven Robb. “Amanda's Web” won a video and song contest for a magazine called Coast 2 Coast out of Miami, Florida. Stephen had fallen away from his roots as a Christian throughout the years. However, on June 12, 2020, Stephen had a near-death experience that changed his life. He had an encounter with Jesus in a hotel room in Reno and rededicated his life to God. He is now a Christian recording artist, singing for the One who gave him a second chance. His songs like “Washed Away” and “Set Free” share his story with the world of what JESUS did in his life and pray that the lyrics will point those who are battling with addiction or bondage to the One who can truly set them free. The message of his songs is meant to assure those who are seeking deliverance, that they are not ALONE! There is a God that will walk closer than a brother and carry them through their darkest days Stephen and I discuss the following and more.

Join me, Jason LaChance host of the  @KnockinDoorzDown  certified addiction recovery coach, and mental health advocate for my sit down with my father Rene LaChance. This conversation was recorded around Christmas of 2022. It is by far the most personal and most difficult conversation I have ever had on the podcast. Recently celebrating 3 years of continual sobriety I finally felt in a place to be able to share this episode. You will hear the various traumas that my father went through which include mental, emotional, and sexual abuse which led to my father living on his own at the age of 14. His mother and father both had various issues around codependency and sexual addiction and his mother struggled with medication. My dad lost his brother, my uncle, due to overmedicating and passing out, his lit cigarette caught his home on fire. My dad and my mom married when he was only 17, and eventually, when his brain matured around 26, issues started to arise. Now sober for over 20 years my dad wanted to share his journey offering hope to others that they can overcome whatever adversity they've faced. We discuss the following and more. How did generational trauma play out in our family? 2:40 Getting Married At 17? 10:54 Working Hard Is All I knew, I was alone at 14. 28:17 No outside solutions to Inside Problems 39:27 How did you maintain long-term sobriety? 53:56 This is my dad, Rene Lachance Knockin' Doorz Down.
