What happens when you take pain, purpose, and a Volkswagen… and build something bigger than yourself?

In this episode of DubLife Diaries, we sit down with Colton “ ” Williams — founder of Bug Invasion — to unpack a raw and real journey of transformation.

Colton opens up about battling depression, alcoholism, and the weight of a difficult childhood marked by bullying… and how the Volkswagen community became the unexpected turning point that changed everything.

• Why he keeps the event affordable and family-focused
• The struggles with sponsorships and growing an event

This episode is about more than cars — it’s about redemption, resilience, and finding your people.
