Ep.22 - Brooke LeBlanc - Sobriety as a Superpower

At first glance, Brooke LeBlanc is not exactly the typical persona you’d expect to see for someone calling themselves sober. She’s young, she’s successful – in fact she is the CEO of a start-up in the non-alcohol space (Edge)– and she’s incredibly active. But that’s kind of the point. Brooke has emerged as one of the leading voices in a new wave of sobriety. She has made the choice – as many others have - the forgo alcohol in her life, and that one healthy choice has had an incredibly positive impact - helping to drive success in other parts of her life – including in her professional, personal and even athletic pursuits. In this episode, Greg and Brooke discuss: (03:44) - Brooke's viral essay on sobriety (link below) (06:15) - Alcohol as a way to fit in (10:17) - The moment Brooke decided to quit alcohol (13:32) - Sobriety as an identity (18:12) - How people reacted to Brooke's sober identity (23:47) - Alcohol as a ritual in our lives (and how to manage that) (27:24) - The ever-growing list of substitutes for alcoholic beverages (30:17) - Lessons learned from 1000 days sober (35:17) - The incredible benefits from cutting out alcohol (personal, professional, athletic) (40:23) - Two device nerds compare notes (Whoop, Eight Sleep, Oura, etc.) (44:13) - Brooke's new business (Edge) combining sobriety, accountability & technology (46:55) - Exceptions to not drinking?
