no proof

I'm joined in this episode by Alex Langille by way of the U.K. who I met after he had listened to my conversation with Jack McGarry. It was a pleasure chatting with Alex who is currently re-embarking on a journey of obtaining his Master's in Clinical Psychology, reading, and running in the English countryside. This conversation was a first for No Proof as after extensive meditations, and the use of therapy; Alex has been able to integrate alcohol back into his lifestyle with intention. It is my goal to have conversations with individuals from every corner of the world of sobriety and to not speak in absolutes. I thank Alex for sharing his story, and for adding a new perspective to the journey that is No Proof.

1) Susan Cain - Quiet - The Power of Introverts In A World That Can’t Stop Talking.

In this episode, I'm joined by Jack McGarry from his bar the Dead Rabbit in New York City. As an avid runner himself, we chat about how running helped to develop discipline and a learning mind. Jack chats about his story of sobriety and recovery as we both look back on the clarity we've gained during our journey.

For this episode, I had a conversation with Laura Lashley, the National Education Manager for Seedlip. Seedlip was the first non-alcoholic distillate I found, and I've been enjoying it ever since!

As part of a special Mindfulness Matters episode presented by Perrier, I have a chat with my friend Brandon Bir who is the director of sustainability for Crimson Cup here in Columbus, Oh. We talk about sobriety, the importance of coffee to a community, and options for Dry January.

After completing her 300hr Yoga Teacher Training, I chat with Ashley about the importance of the self, focusing on your breath, and how discovering yourself can lead to many more enlightening revelations. This episode focuses on the physicality of sobriety, and what moving your body and listening to yourself can uncover.

In this episode, I have a fun and lively conversation with Nick and Shannon of Mover & Shaker. Their pins, shirts, and barware can be found wherever there's a bartender making delicious drinks. The two of them have navigated bar management, brand ambassadorship, and the day to day dealings of owning a business all while sober, listen along to hear their story.

In this episode, I share a phone call with Josh Harris of San Francisco. We discuss his path of sobriety, the leader of the industry he's become since then, and his advice for someone looking to take that first step. Josh is a titan of the industry, and it was my privilege to speak with him.

In this episode, I share a phone call with Michael Toscano, a husband, and brand ambassador who is now 14 months sober. We talk about our experiences in the industry, and how the fast paced world behind the bar offers little chances to stop and reflect.
