Meet the Entrepreneurs Thriving in Sobriety
The goal is to provide a helpful and hopeful dose of experience every week that will inspire you to stay on your own path of recovery and to give you insights that will help you in business and in life.
Imagine combining the grit of recovery with the hustle of entrepreneurship. That's exactly what 'Sober Ventures' is all about. Hosted by Will Bradwell, this podcast dives into the lives of inspiring entrepreneurs who have not only battled addiction but also built thriving businesses. In this introductory episode, Will shares his own journey from nearly a decade of substance abuse to getting sober in November 2015.
He talks about how podcasts were a lifeline during his recovery, mentioning influential voices like Paul from Recovery Elevator and Shane from That Sober Guy. These daily doses of inspiration helped him stay sober when all previous attempts had failed. Will then introduces 'Sober Ventures', born from an Instagram account he started to connect with others in recovery who were also business-minded.
This evolved into the Sober Ventures Summit, featuring conversations with notable figures in the sobriety community like Austin Cooper of Sober Evolution and Brian McCullum of Substance For You. The first episodes of the podcast are drawn from this summit, offering a rich tapestry of stories about overcoming addiction and achieving business success. Listeners will hear from guests like Jesse Hawkins of Sober Voyager and Gerald Rhodes, a motivational speaker and sobriety coach.
These stories are not just about beating addiction; they're about building something meaningful while maintaining sobriety. Will aims to provide a weekly dose of hope and practical advice for anyone navigating recovery and entrepreneurship. Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, 'Sober Ventures' offers valuable insights and a sense of community. Tune in to hear how these individuals turned their lives around and built successful ventures against the odds.
