26: Calum Best on Healing Children of Addiction and Breaking Generational Cycles

Welcome back to the podcast! Kicking off the second season is this deeply personal episode featuring entrepreneur, model, and NACOA (National Association for Children of Alcoholics) patron Calum Best. Known to many as the son of football legend George Best, Calum opens up about his own struggles, healing and daily choice of purpose over destruction.

Calum recounts the moments that shaped him, from his wild years in Hollywood to the loss of his father and the spiral that followed. But this isn’t just a story of hardship—it’s one of resilience, self-discovery, and a relentless drive to help others. Through his work with NACOA (National Association for Children of Alcoholics), Calum is using his experiences and voice to support the millions of children impacted by parental addiction, ensuring they are seen, heard, and given the help they deserve.

If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, there are plenty of resources on the Stride Foundation website: https://stridefoundation.com/
