In this powerful and emotional episode of It’s All for LOVE, Cheryl Mazza speaks with Andy Smith, a man whose life took a profound turn thanks to the music of Michael Jackson. Andy, who struggled with alcohol addiction for decades, shares the moment that changed everything—a breakdown in a supermarket, a near miss with a train, and the unexpected lifeline that came through Michael’s iconic song “Man in the Mirror.” From growing up in a pub on a remote Scottish island to building a successful corporate career, Andy opens up about the toll addiction took on his health, relationships, and self-worth. But when he finally reached a breaking point, the lyrics of Michael Jackson's "Man in the Mirror" became the catalyst for transformation. Andy now lives a vibrant life of service, adventure, and healing—biking across continents for charity, supporting others in recovery, and continuing to be inspired by the spirit of Michael’s message: love, change, and personal responsibility. In this episode, we talk about: Growing up in the Shetland Islands and the role alcohol played early on The pressure of success and the hidden struggle with addiction The life-altering moment that “Man in the Mirror” became a spiritual awakening Creating a personal process of healing and change Michael Jackson's role in Andy’s sobriety and ongoing journey of self-love Why MJ’s legacy is still so relevant—especially when we’re ready to receive it This conversation is a beautiful reminder that when the student is ready, the teacher appears—and sometimes that teacher comes in the form of a song.
