(#1) Evolving as a sober entrepreneur with Chris Marshall from Sans Bar


Listen Later

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. 

Questions answered: 

  • How did you become sober and an entrepreneur? 
  • What's it like to be sober and an entrepreneur?
