James Moran opens up about his path to sobriety, the pivotal role family has played in his life, and the importance of leading with kindness and intention.

Whether you’re on your own comeback journey or seeking practical wisdom on parenting, discipline, or personal growth, this episode is packed with authentic insights, candid moments, and the reminder that “the comeback is always greater than the setback.”

James is a 43-year-old father of two and a proud member of the Hampton Bays community. With a degree in Sociology, he brings a thoughtful, people-centered approach to his work at the Hampton Bays Water District, where he helps ensure the town’s water supply is safe and reliable.

James has been sober for 12 years, a journey that has shaped his perspective and strengthened his commitment to living with intention, resilience, and gratitude. He’s an avid runner who finds both clarity and purpose on the road, often using his early morning or late evening miles to reflect, recharge, and stay focused.

Above all, James values being a present and engaged father. Whether he’s working hard for his community or spending time with his kids, he brings heart, discipline, and authenticity to everything he does.
