A gift to the recovery community are the more than 250 episodes of Hard Knox Talks that Daniel Hearn has created. It is a testament to what can be achieved in sobriety and in life, by focusing on one area and sticking to it. I was fortunate to be interviewed by Daniel and his wife Donna, as we discussed my journey into alcoholism, business, recovery, and personal growth.
I love the title of Michael Alisasis podcast: “Life Sober and Shit.” It captures what it’s like to be in recovery.
In our interview, I share my journey to sobriety, which began with the help of a coach who encouraged me to attend 12-step recovery meetings. I describe my first meeting and the challenges I faced in the early days of sobriety. I emphasize the importance of personal growth and ongoing work in recovery. I also discusses the connection between sobriety and success, highlighting the need for internal change and self-discovery. The conversation concludes with me offering advice for those seeking sobriety and the importance of finding a supportive community.
Join Jessica Stipanovic and me on her The Sober Living Stories Podcast. I share on my growth in business, alcoholism, and eventually into recovery.

A two year break sailing the Mediterranean and home schooling our three children, resulted in some amazing experiences that started me awareness of something much bigger than myself. We discuss the importance of finding support and not trying to overcome addiction alone. I also talk about my experience reconnecting with my birth family and the personal growth I went through to build relationships with them. We both emphasize the importance of doing the work and seeking help to find hope and overcome addiction.
Rob Ratliff is a marketing and business expert. It was a pleasure to spend time with him discussing business on his Entrepreneurial Odyssey Podcast. In our interview, we emphasize the importance of making conscious choices, going back to the initial passion that led to starting your business, and taking time for self-care. We remind entrepreneurs to reach out for help when needed. I also highlighted the significance of addressing mental health issues, such as alcoholism or addiction, and seeking support from others. Overall, we hope this podcast helps entrepreneurs find fulfillment and success in their businesses and lives.
