Sara Kaufman-Bradstreet is the founder of No More Wasted Days and has been alcohol-free since May 2019. She quit drinking on her own, not believing she had a “problem”—but two years into sobriety, she realized just how much alcohol had been impacting her life.

Today, she helps others take breaks from alcohol through 30- and 100-day challenges, showing them what’s possible on the other side. After a few bumps along the way, Sara also celebrated one year weed-free in September 2025.

Based in Western Washington, she and her husband spent four years building their home by hand. When she’s not coaching, you’ll find her hiking, kayaking, or singing—she was a music teacher for 18 years.

Toni Will is a professional hockey executive, speaker, coach, and podcast host who is redefining what leadership can look like without alcohol. As the former General Manager and Governor of a men’s professional hockey team—an environment where drinking culture runs deep—Toni chose an alcohol-free lifestyle to gain clarity, strengthen her boundaries, and perform at a higher level.

In this episode, The Alcohol-Free Executive, Toni shares her honest journey with alcohol, including taking a break, returning to drinking, and ultimately reevaluating her relationship with it. We talk about navigating sobriety in the culture of men’s professional sports, the role her supportive husband Josh played in asking the questions that helped her pause and reflect, and what leadership can look like when you choose clarity over cocktails.

I met Chris on a hike in Hollywood and within minutes we discovered we were both sober. Chris is retired, leads hikes in LA, has two grown sons, and has been in AA for 35 years.

In this episode, I ask him all the AA questions I’ve always wanted to ask — about meetings, sponsorship, long-term sobriety, and what actually keeps someone alcohol-free for decades. Chris shares openly, with wisdom, humility, and plenty of laughs.

If you’ve ever been curious about AA or what 35 years sober really looks like, this conversation is for you.

Dave Wilson (Sober Dave) joins me for an honest, no-BS conversation about choosing an alcohol-free life. We talk about how sobriety becomes something you get to do—not something you have to do—plus how we met in London, had some great laughs, and yes… there’s a funny story about my husband in there too.

If you’re curious about what’s possible on the other side of drinking, this episode is for you.

Patrick is the founder of Zero Proof Pass, Milwaukee’s first non-alcoholic passport program, launched in July 2025. Based in downtown Milwaukee, he created Zero Proof Pass to challenge the idea that alcohol is required to fully experience the city. Through partnerships with bars, cafés, breweries, cocktail lounges, and nightclubs, the program makes zero-proof options more visible, accessible, and celebrated across Milwaukee.

Growing up in Wisconsin—where drinking culture runs deep—Patrick’s relationship with alcohol wasn’t linear. He experimented with being alcohol-free before it finally stuck. Without a business background, but with a sharp eye for what was missing, he recognized that people who don’t drink are craving real connection and social experiences that don’t revolve around alcohol. Zero Proof Pass was born from that gap, helping to reshape what community and nightlife can look like without booze at the center.
