In this episode, Ryan Penley interviews Ben McQueen, who shares his journey from addiction to recovery through the discovery of Kava. Ben discusses his early struggles with substance abuse, the impact of his father's alcoholism, and the challenges he faced during college. After hitting rock bottom, he sought help and found solace in Kava, which led him to create a community-focused Kava bar, Karuna Kava. The conversation explores the benefits of Kava as a non-alcoholic alternative and its role in recovery, as well as the growth of Ben's business and the importance of community in maintaining sobriety.
