On this FIRST dynamic, inaugural PowerBabe podcast, host Phoebe Conybeare talks with Chris Marshall about his evolution from struggling through college and working at Subway as a drinker… to getting sober and building Sans Bar, the first sober bar in Austin, Texas.
We talk about what it’s like for Chris to be a neurodivergent, sober entrepreneur with a unique perspective on how to solve BIG problems: like how human connection helps battle addiction and promote long term recovery.
Chris talks about the struggles of building something everyone around him thought was a huge risk and his journey to an incredible ah-ha moment when on a cross-country flight, he opened an in-flight magazine and saw himself featured in an article, talking about the success of his vision.
However, with the pandemic, Chris has had to pivot from creating an in-person event space/sober bar to rethinking how we EVOLVE as humans connecting through technology, not in spite of it.
