Michelle Houston is an author, an entrepreneur, and the owner of To Be Honest Beverage Company, which makes Focus Non-Alcoholic Gin Alternative. We talk all about what it means to run a “purpose-driven” company, what she believes is her biggest purpose with To Be Honest and Focus, and how she has controlled her anxiety and mental health through a sober-curious lifestyle. We had a really eye-opening, adult conversation about the realities of drinking and why some people choose the sober life, even if they don’t necessarily have a problem. Then, I open up the Boise Beer Buddies Community Calendar, and our Warn Reserve Cocktail of the Week is a tasty mocktail based on my favorite drink. So, sit back and sip on something slightly stronger than coffee, and learn all about that sober-curious lifestyle on today’s zero-proof episode of the Idaho Booze Podcast.
