In this powerful episode of the Porn to Purpose podcast, I sit down with Yeadon Smith—entrepreneur, husband, father of four, and now 900 days pørn-free. From the outside, Yeadon looked like he had it all: success, family, even a yacht. But inside, he was trapped—buried in shame, silently battling a pørn addiction he couldn't talk about, even in therapy.

What changed? A wake-up call from his wife and the realization that "hope" wasn't enough to protect his sons from the same struggle. Yeadon joined the Liberation Boot Camp not just to break free—but to break the cycle. In this episode, he shares how real healing began when he stopped hiding, started doing the work, and finally led his family with honesty, strength, and purpose.
