In this episode of the No Matter What Club podcast Paulo and Anthony welcome Kylon Hooks and Daniel Rubin to the studio to chat about recovering in Chicago, navigating being a newcomer to sobriety, establishing a ‘connection’ as the antidote to addiction, and the special sauce in the Chicago recovery community.

As Chicagoans, Kylon and Daniel are long-time mentors in the recovery community, each of them having double digit sobriety, **and** a very special place in Paulo’s personal recovery journey.

Professionally, Kylon is a prominent figure in social work and advocacy, particularly known for his dedication to supporting LGBTQ+ youth in Chicago. His professional and sober journeys reflect a strong commitment to social justice and community service.

Daniel is a nationally acclaimed hair colorist and the Colorist Director at Paul Rehder Salon in Chicago. He is recognized for his exceptional talent and artistic vision, winning numerous awards and accolades. His work is distinguished by its creativity and technical precision, often drawing inspiration from the world of drag and performance art. Daniel takes great pride in being a returning student, while exploring work in the field of substance abuse and mental health treatment.
