Ep.22 - Brooke LeBlanc - Sobriety as a Superpower
At first glance, Brooke LeBlanc is not exactly the typical persona you’d expect to see for someone calling themselves sober. She’s young, she’s successful – in fact she is the CEO of a start-up in the non-alcohol space (Edge)– and she’s incredibly active.
But that’s kind of the point. Brooke has emerged as one of the leading voices in a new wave of sobriety. She has made the choice – as many others have - the forgo alcohol in her life, and that one healthy choice has had an incredibly positive impact - helping to drive success in other parts of her life – including in her professional, personal and even athletic pursuits.
In this episode, Greg and Brooke discuss:
(03:44) - Brooke's viral essay on sobriety (link below)
(06:15) - Alcohol as a way to fit in
(10:17) - The moment Brooke decided to quit alcohol
(13:32) - Sobriety as an identity
(18:12) - How people reacted to Brooke's sober identity
(23:47) - Alcohol as a ritual in our lives (and how to manage that)
(27:24) - The ever-growing list of substitutes for alcoholic beverages
(30:17) - Lessons learned from 1000 days sober
(35:17) - The incredible benefits from cutting out alcohol (personal, professional, athletic)
(40:23) - Two device nerds compare notes (Whoop, Eight Sleep, Oura, etc.)
(44:13) - Brooke's new business (Edge) combining sobriety, accountability & technology
(46:55) - Exceptions to not drinking?
(50:04) - One thing Brooke has figured out in life
