Welcome back to TalkingToNobody Podcast! Today, Zane interviews Chris Bilyk, Founder of State of Gratitude: a social impact lifestyle brand centered in creating mindful goods and apparel with the intention of giving back to the community. They do so by allocating a portion of the proceeds to addiction recovery initiatives and giving grants to individuals new to recovery from alcoholism and substance abuse.

Chris shares his story of the years he battled with substance addiction, his journey towards sobriety, and how he created his new booming business during the pandemic. Living in a state of gratitude has changed his life and now he has repurposed his pain and past experiences to build something that is giving people hope, creating a community, and raising funds for people in addiction recovery. I am so grateful to you, Chris, for sharing your story. 

He has an upcoming retreat in Los Padres National Park in the California Desert April 7-10! It will be a curated experience packed with yoga, hiking, community meals, meditation, and at night, live DJ sets and campfires. Reserve your spot now at www.stateofgratitudeusa.com.

Your old pal Grammy comes in at the end to play Guess That Song with Chris!
