"I went from being the guy bringing booze to every party to the guy who says, ‘Sorry, I gave up drinking yesterday.’" – Bo Green

I recently sat down with Bo Green, a sober coach and global adventurer who has also redefined what it means to party. From binge-drinking party animal to sober dancing in Bali, Bo shares how he built confidence and connection without relying on alcohol.

We cover:

• How discomfort fuels growth.
  "Every time I feel my heart race and think, ‘I don’t know if I want to do this,’ that’s when I say yes. On the other side of discomfort is growth." – Bo

• Confidence isn’t liquid—it’s practiced.
  "Once you can dance your heart out sober, you can unlock everything. That’s the goal." – Bo

• Tools for partying sober.
  "I bring a journal, a sarong, and essential oils to every party. That’s my vibe now—and it works." – Bo

Bo also opens up about his sobriety journey: baptizing himself in Lake Tahoe, journaling through temptation during a cross-country road trip, and thriving at ecstatic dances overlooking the ocean in Bali.

"The goal isn’t just to stop drinking—it’s to show up fully. And once you unlock that, the party doesn’t end—it just gets better." – Bo

Bo Green:
"I saw being an introvert as a failure. So, I surrounded myself with the most outgoing, craziest people I could find. I started testing my confidence on people I’d never see again. If I messed up, who cares?"

Evan the Party Coach:
"I remember being so jealous of a friend who could talk to everyone. Then one day, I realized: Actually, that could be me. So I started surrounding myself with people who lit me up and learned to reflect that energy."

Bo Green:
"People always ask me how I went from the guy who brought booze to every party to the guy dancing sober with no regrets. The answer? I realized I didn’t need liquid courage. I just needed to trust myself."

Evan the Party Coach:
"I get asked all the time, 'What are you on?' And my answer is simple: I’m on purpose. If you’ve got a purpose, you don’t need anything else to fuel the vibe."

Bo Green:
"The goal is to have more confidence sober than you ever had drunk. To dance your heart out, no matter where you are—even waiting in line at an airport. If you can unlock that, you can unlock everything else."

Evan the Party Coach:
"It’s about freeing the party within. Once you know you can bring that energy anywhere, without relying on substances, you stop chasing and start creating."

Bo Green:
"Every time I feel discomfort, I lean into it. Because on the other side of discomfort is growth. If you stay in your little circle of comfort, you’ll never grow."

Evan the Party Coach:
"The party isn’t in avoiding the hard stuff. It’s in showing up for it and realizing you’re stronger than you think. That’s where freedom lives."

Bo Green:
"The best parties are the ones where you can fully express yourself. No pressure to hook up, no need for validation—just authentic connections and pure joy."

Evan the Party Coach:
"I’ve been to sober ecstatic dances overlooking the ocean, Burning Man naked trampoline parties, and wild raves. What makes them transformative isn’t the setting—it’s being fully present and alive in your own skin."

Bo Green:
"I’ll never drink again because I’ve proven to myself that I don’t need it. I can dance harder, connect deeper, and live freer without it. And that’s something no drink can give me."

Evan the Party Coach:
"It’s not about rejecting the party—it’s about redefining it. Once you free the party within, everything else becomes a choice, not a crutch."
