Sober Dad Crew

My guest in this Episode is Chris Marshall, the founder Sans Bar—a sober establishment— located in Austin, TX. He established Sans Bar on the belief that everyone deserves a space where they are accepted and seen for who they are. Chris and I talk about a wide range of topics, but at the forefront of everything we discussed is the notion that getting sober is a political act linked to fostering community and creating a more just society. This is an important and deep conversation and I hope you find it as meaningful as I did.
