🎙 Welcome to the debut episode of the Ballaholics Anonymous podcast, hosted by Coach Big Al, also known as Alundas Havens. In this deeply personal introduction, Coach Big Al shares the roots of the show—a journey of raw honesty, transformation, and hustle. Drawing from his own life experiences, including challenges with addiction, struggles after leaving the military, and the pressures to conform, he sets the stage for a podcast dedicated to the grinders and hustlers who feel misunderstood or out of place.
This episode is a heartfelt testament to the power of authenticity. Coach Big Al dives into why staying true to oneself matters, even in the face of societal expectations and adversity. Listeners can expect future episodes to tackle topics like fitness, sobriety, mindset shifts, addiction, and personal growth, all viewed through the lens of someone who’s lived through the struggle and come out stronger.
If you’ve ever felt judged for being yourself or pressured to fit a mold that just isn’t you, this podcast is here to let you know you’re not alone. Get ready for unfiltered stories, actionable advice, and a whole lot of love for those on the journey to a better, more authentic version of themselves. Welcome to Ballaholics Anonymous—where the grind is real, and so is the support.

I was able to see in my case that I was living wrong, doing things wrong. So that’s why I say the approach is going to be different with this podcast.”
