Recovery is not just a state of mind, it's a way of life sourced from your heart. Recovery can be found through many doors—some are just more wide open than others.
What happens when you mix comedy, hot sauce, and a journey to sobriety? You get Dave Yates, a full-time comedian and entrepreneur who's found a unique path in recovery. In this engaging episode of Recovery Internet Radio, hosts Rick Atwater and Rob Ryberg sit down with Dave to chat about his life on the road, his booming hot sauce business, and what it's like to be a sober comic in a world often drenched in alcohol.
Dave opens up about the highs and lows of his career, from performing stand-up across the country to navigating the comedy scene during the pandemic. He shares how he balances the demands of his hot sauce company with the rigorous schedule of a touring comedian. It's not all laughs, though; Dave gets real about the importance of self-care, setting boundaries, and maintaining a supportive network of sober friends.

Throughout the episode, you'll hear how storytelling has played a crucial role in Dave's recovery journey, helping him connect with others and find purpose.
