We’re living in the age of the Reset. Klaus Schwabb calls it the "Great Reset". But were not talking about Klaus Schwabb or his quote that you will "own nothing and like it".

Although some of the following are great things to try, we're also not talking about a reset by cold plunges, breathwork, ice baths. red light therapy or gratitude journaling, either.

We're talking about the one “reset” that’s actually changing lives, quitting alcohol.

In this episode, Shane dives into why so many high-performing men, business owners, leaders, and entrepreneurs, are walking away from the “work hard, play hard” lifestyle and choosing clarity, peace, and purpose instead.

You’ll hear why Reset Culture is more than just a trend, it’s a movement of men who are tired of feeling burned out, anxious, and disconnected… and ready to build a new kind of success story that doesn’t come with a hangover.

Expect truth, humor, and a few gut punches along the way.
(And probably a joke or two about how we used to think tequila was self-care.)

• Why high-achievers are trading late nights for early mornings

• The surprising link between alcohol, anxiety, and ambition

• How sobriety gives you an unfair advantage in business and life

• The difference between numbing out and leveling up

• Why “peace” is the new “flex”

Apparently, choosing not to drink now makes you controversial.

In this episode, Shane dives into the cultural weirdness around sobriety — why quitting alcohol freaks people out more than drinking too much, how clear-headed men are suddenly being called “radical,” and what this says about masculinity, culture, and freedom in 2025.

From The Guardian’s recent article “Mocktails for MAGA: Why the US Right Is Turning Sober” to the growing trend of men reclaiming their focus, faith, and families, Shane breaks down why a simple glass of sparkling water can now spark a political debate.

You’ll laugh, shake your head, and probably think twice about why society celebrates dysfunction and ridicules discipline.

Because here’s the truth, sobriety isn’t extreme. It’s clarity. It’s leadership. It’s power.
And in a world that glorifies chaos, staying sober might just be the most rebellious move you can make.

• Don’t let culture define your character — “normal” isn’t always right.

• True masculinity isn’t about how much you can drink, but how much you can carry.

• Staying sober isn’t weakness — it’s the foundation of real freedom and clarity.

Today on That Sober Guy Podcast, we’re joined by a legend in the speaking and performance world, Joel Bauer. This dude has trained some of the most elite speakers, presenters, and marketers on the planet to monetize their life experience and create real influence, both on and offline. If you’ve ever seen someone captivate a room and thought, “How the hell do they do that?” - there’s a good chance Joel’s fingerprints are somewhere in their training.

But here’s where it gets real, Joel’s not just about stage presence and sales. He’s lived through and witnessed the dark side of addiction up close, and he’s got some powerful wisdom for men who know they’ve got that “addictive personality” wiring. Instead of letting it wreck your life, Joel breaks down how to redirect that same intensity into something that actually serves you, your business, your relationships, your health, and your purpose.

And, of course, we have a few laughs along the way, because if you can’t laugh at the insanity of this crazy life, what’s the point?

A couple of key takeaways from today’s episode:

1. Your “addictive” tendencies aren’t a curse, they’re untapped potential when harnessed with the right structure and intention.

2. Influence isn’t about what you sell, it’s about the truth you’re willing to share and the transformation you’ve lived.

If this episode hits home for you, don’t go it alone. Join our free men’s community, The Victory Circle , where high-performing men connect, share wins, and stay accountable on the path to sobriety, strength, and purpose.

Or if you’re ready to go deeper, reach out for 1-on-1 coaching and let’s build a plan to help you quit drinking and get your fire back.
