Sobriety isn’t just about putting down the bottle, it’s about picking up a bigger purpose. In this episode of That Sober Guy Podcast, Shane shares why your story matters, how to break through the “now what?” moment after quitting, and how to use your clarity as a launch pad for creativity, business, and leadership.
We’ll dive into:
Why sober voices matter in breaking stigma and giving hope
How to channel your time, energy, and money into purpose-driven work
Real examples of men who’ve launched businesses, podcasts, and legacies through sobriety
Why your story doesn’t have to be perfect or dramatic to make an impact
Sobriety isn’t a limitation, it’s leverage. Whether you feel called to write, lead, or build, your sober story has the power to change lives (including your own).
👉 Action Steps from this episode:
Write out your story, or write down one area where sobriety has freed up your time, money, or energy.
Decide where you can reinvest it this week - creativity, business, family, or leadership.
Share your story with one other person. Even a simple conversation can spark change.
And hey, if you want to take this to the next level, Shane will be speaking live on January 15th in Orlando, Florida at the first-ever Amplify Sober Voices Conference, part of Podfest Expo. Come connect with other sober leaders and creators who are making their voices heard.

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.
