TSG Ep387 - 5 Tips to Handle Change

In this episode of That Sober Guy Podcast—the #1 sober podcast since 2014—we take a hard but honest look at a new bill that would deport undocumented immigrants caught driving under the influence.This isn’t about politics or taking sides, it’s about public safety, personal responsibility, and sobriety. We talk about how alcohol-fueled decisions can destroy lives, regardless of legal status, and how we can do better as a society.We also ask some deeper questions:Why is drunk driving still so normalized in many communities, legal status or not? And what kind of sober leadership is needed to shift that culture?You can be compassionate toward people chasing the American dream and still hold the line on dangerous behavior.Tune in for a thoughtful, no-nonsense conversation with a few laughs thrown in because hey, it’s That Sober Guy, and we’ve been keeping it real since 2014.🎯 Want to join a community of men committed to sober living, mental clarity, and leadership?

Is alcohol finally losing its cool? In this episode of That Sober Guy Podcast, we dive into a question more and more people are starting to ask: Is booze becoming the new cigarette? Once glamorized, now scrutinized, alcohol might be heading for a cultural downgrade.We break down the data showing the massive shift in drinking trends, including the rise of non-alcoholic drinks, declining alcohol sales, and how more high-performing men are ditching the booze to level up in business, relationships, and mental clarity. From concerts to ball games to boardrooms, being the sober guy is no longer lame. In fact, it's becoming a superpower.You’ll hear real talk, a few laughs, and maybe even a flashback to that old baseball coach who smelled like a distillery and told you to “walk it off.” Spoiler alert: He’s not the vibe anymore.Actionable Takeaways:Rethink the “normal” social script—being sober doesn’t mean being boring.Start tracking how alcohol actually impacts your energy, mood, and performance.Try swapping booze for a quality NA beer or sparkling hop water next time you’re out.👉 Ready to take the next step?
