Joe Manganiello On Getting Sober, The Mystery Illness That Almost Killed Him & The Trauma We Inherit

12 Oct 2026 · 2 h 51 min · Episode 1019

Joe Manganiello is an actor (True Blood, Magic Mike, One Piece) and author of Bloodlines.

This conversation explores his odyssey of pain and suffering, self-discovery, and ultimately spiritual transformation – from a near-fatal illness to a family history that upended what he thought he knew.

Learning that this podcast helped him make sense of his healing was a reminder of why I do this.

Joe's journey is unreal. And he tells it beautifully. Enjoy!
