In this episode of Matters of Consequence, host Michael Hanf speaks with Jonathan Schwartz about trust, addiction, and the choices we make when no one is watching. For over 15 years, Jonathan worked as a financial manager in Hollywood, handling the finances of some of the entertainment industry’s biggest names. But behind the scenes, he was navigating a private struggle with addiction and gambling that eventually led him to take money that wasn’t his. When it came out, the consequences were severe: prison, the loss of his career, a divorce, and the trust of his children. Now, over a decade sober, he works in recovery, helping others navigate addiction and the long process of making amends. A conversation about the cost of silence, the weight of consequences, and what it means to live with the choices we’ve made.
