This week on That Sober Guy Podcast, we step into the ring with professional heavyweight boxer, author, speaker, and legit chess assassin Ed Latimore for a hard-hitting conversation on why real strength means choosing clarity over chaos.
We dive into the psychological warfare behind alcohol marketing, how society normalizes dysfunction, and why business owners, dads, and high-performing leaders are waking up and walking away from the booze trap. Ed breaks down the psyop of alcohol, the normalcy bias that keeps people stuck, and what it really takes to win in business and in life.
From the boxing ring to the chessboard to the boardroom, Ed shares his story of transformation, discipline, and how quitting alcohol gave him a competitive edge most men are too numbed out to notice.
It’s raw, insightful, a little funny, and all real talk—no fluff, no filters.
👊 Actionable Takeaways:
- How to identify and crush the mental programming that says “drinking is normal”
- Why leaders who ditch alcohol gain more energy, time, and clarity
- A simple mindset shift to start building true confidence and not booze-fueled ego
- How to play chess, not checkers with your personal growth

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
