00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.240
Tell me about your vision. So I was working in

00:00:03.240 --> 00:00:05.679
a rehab and I was noticing all the things that

00:00:05.679 --> 00:00:08.259
were wrong. I noticed that all the staff were

00:00:08.259 --> 00:00:11.880
underpaid, overworked, and the owner pulled up

00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:14.820
in a Bugatti. And the running joke became how

00:00:14.820 --> 00:00:17.760
many red bottom shoes does his wife own when

00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:20.219
I can't pay my rent? Every month I'm in the hole

00:00:20.219 --> 00:00:23.780
at least once in the negative. And we counted

00:00:23.780 --> 00:00:27.120
it. She had 43 pairs of red bottom shoes. So

00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:29.600
I started thinking. It's not working for the

00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:31.940
clients. It's working for the owner, right? The

00:00:31.940 --> 00:00:33.619
clients keep coming back. I'm like, what are

00:00:33.619 --> 00:00:36.340
we missing? And I started to create a program

00:00:36.340 --> 00:00:39.359
of what we were missing, which is how Sober on

00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:42.780
Demand was born. It's tailored individual therapy

00:00:42.780 --> 00:00:45.179
to each client. It's not a cookie cutter program

00:00:45.179 --> 00:00:48.399
where you run group to group and hope you figure

00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:51.619
it out and then go home and go right back to

00:00:51.619 --> 00:00:53.619
doing what you were doing. So that's what my

00:00:53.619 --> 00:00:56.640
vision was, is to change how we do treatment,

00:00:56.799 --> 00:00:59.700
how we. treat the individual that needs the help

00:00:59.700 --> 00:01:02.280
and how we treat the professional. So all of

00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:05.340
my staff are well -paid. All of my clients love

00:01:05.340 --> 00:01:07.560
what we do. It's, you know, white glove service

00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:10.359
where we can offer one -on -one individual care

00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:13.019
as opposed to just, you know, being dumped in

00:01:13.019 --> 00:01:14.980
a group somewhere. And that's what I wanted.

00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:19.560
I wanted both sides to win. I love that. I love

00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:22.840
that. So it's crazy. Again, my mind is about

00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:29.000
to start going. When? An individual is sent to

00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:33.680
a rehabilitation center. I found in the profession

00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:37.159
that I was in that it was a consistent, constant

00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:41.420
return. You know, it was, it just didn't seem

00:01:41.420 --> 00:01:44.000
like, for lack of better words, that it stuck,

00:01:44.379 --> 00:01:46.420
right? And they got back in the same situation.

00:01:46.459 --> 00:01:50.140
So you saying that you're doing that one -on

00:01:50.140 --> 00:01:53.879
-one, I'm smiling, I have goosebumps, I'm excited

00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:57.430
because... It is not a one size fits all. This

00:01:57.430 --> 00:01:59.730
is not that's not a hat service. You know what

00:01:59.730 --> 00:02:02.530
I mean? Like it's not a T -shirt service. This

00:02:02.530 --> 00:02:07.409
is a this is a one on one. And so I am super

00:02:07.409 --> 00:02:10.750
stoked that you figured that out. And of course,

00:02:10.750 --> 00:02:13.270
there's statistics and everything. But when you

00:02:13.270 --> 00:02:17.810
started this, did you have what were some of

00:02:17.810 --> 00:02:20.729
your concerns or your thoughts about it? Well,

00:02:20.849 --> 00:02:23.319
at first I was like, is this legal? can we do

00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:26.939
this you know am i am i okay to do this and found

00:02:26.939 --> 00:02:30.360
out yeah there's this is legal um then it was

00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:32.960
would people really want this because it's new

00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:34.860
they don't know what this is it's an alternative

00:02:34.860 --> 00:02:38.939
to traditional treatment and we got our first

00:02:38.939 --> 00:02:41.400
couple clients and we got a success and i thought

00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:46.639
wow our success rate is really good so i started

00:02:47.500 --> 00:02:49.599
From there, from the concern of, you know, can

00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:51.960
we do it? Will it work? Then it became, we're

00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:53.680
not going to take everybody. We're only going

00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:56.780
to take the clients that want the help that we

00:02:56.780 --> 00:02:59.120
know we can help. The rest of them will refer

00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:02.020
out. So we quickly did that. So we separated

00:03:02.020 --> 00:03:04.719
ourselves from, you know, we're not doing sex

00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:06.659
addiction. We're doing drug and alcohol. We're

00:03:06.659 --> 00:03:08.419
doing mental health. We're doing tech addiction.

00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:12.099
So we kind of differentiated. And then I said,

00:03:12.139 --> 00:03:13.979
I want to work with executives and celebrities.

00:03:14.219 --> 00:03:17.300
I don't do a lot of younger kids. I do, you know,

00:03:17.319 --> 00:03:20.680
35 and up. They've already been around the block.

00:03:20.860 --> 00:03:22.360
They've been to treatment two or three times.

00:03:22.539 --> 00:03:24.740
They know it didn't work. They want to make the

00:03:24.740 --> 00:03:27.080
change. And they're coming to us because they're

00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:29.159
exhausted. You know, they're working. We're trying

00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:32.180
to manage kids, a household, usually a husband

00:03:32.180 --> 00:03:35.500
or a wife, and everything's falling apart. But

00:03:35.500 --> 00:03:38.460
they're ready to commit. That's the difference.

00:03:39.050 --> 00:03:41.530
So, you know, your 21 year old who mom and dad

00:03:41.530 --> 00:03:44.490
pay for may be a better client for treatment

00:03:44.490 --> 00:03:49.189
than what we do, because the 21 year old isn't

00:03:49.189 --> 00:03:50.610
ready. You know, they want to party. They want

00:03:50.610 --> 00:03:52.009
to have fun. They want to do all the things.

00:03:52.629 --> 00:03:55.310
My clientele are done, have done the things and

00:03:55.310 --> 00:03:58.590
they say, I'm exhausted. Help. And then we do,

00:03:58.629 --> 00:04:00.830
I have a five day executive reset where I get

00:04:00.830 --> 00:04:03.650
in and I do trauma with them. I do some memory

00:04:03.650 --> 00:04:06.349
reconstruction therapy, some CBT, some performance

00:04:06.349 --> 00:04:09.770
coaching. And we sort of reconstructure how they

00:04:09.770 --> 00:04:11.710
live their life. And when I leave, they have

00:04:11.710 --> 00:04:13.909
a whole new blueprint of what they're going to

00:04:13.909 --> 00:04:15.810
do. And it's completely different than anything

00:04:15.810 --> 00:04:18.629
on the market. And they love it. And it's super

00:04:18.629 --> 00:04:20.870
successful. So I have a lot of women lately.

00:04:21.129 --> 00:04:23.170
I think we've had four of those back to back

00:04:23.170 --> 00:04:27.009
that said, hey, I'm done. I'm burnt. You know,

00:04:27.029 --> 00:04:30.290
I'm 45. I'm drinking. I'm exhausted. How do I

00:04:30.290 --> 00:04:32.870
fix it? And then I come in in five days and they

00:04:32.870 --> 00:04:35.290
have a whole new set of tools and they're like

00:04:35.290 --> 00:04:37.769
gangbusters. This is what I'm going to do. And

00:04:37.769 --> 00:04:40.589
they're all successful. So that's our niche market.

00:04:40.709 --> 00:04:42.629
That's what we specialize in. And we do it really,

00:04:42.689 --> 00:04:46.350
really well. You know, I had a conversation with

00:04:46.350 --> 00:04:51.069
another individual who was a guest who focused

00:04:51.069 --> 00:04:56.399
on. the c -suite individuals and and if i may

00:04:56.399 --> 00:04:59.100
say they spoke about love they were like a matchmaker

00:04:59.100 --> 00:05:03.240
kind of thing and i i i roll into this because

00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:07.379
I know that there was some discussion about their

00:05:07.379 --> 00:05:11.420
extracurricular activities, which then resulted

00:05:11.420 --> 00:05:15.180
in divorce, children not liking them, losing

00:05:15.180 --> 00:05:18.279
a lot of what they have. And so when I hear you

00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:21.319
say that they're of a certain age, they're exhausted.

00:05:21.579 --> 00:05:25.560
I'm thinking C -suite. I'm thinking respectfully

00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:28.660
stating family destruction possibility. And at

00:05:28.660 --> 00:05:32.589
this point, they are like. Yo, and now this is

00:05:32.589 --> 00:05:36.509
a private situation. I need Dr. Estes and the

00:05:36.509 --> 00:05:39.850
Sober On Demand team to come to me because now

00:05:39.850 --> 00:05:43.649
I'm at my wit's end. I just went there. We actually

00:05:43.649 --> 00:05:46.350
get referrals from matchmakers because the C

00:05:46.350 --> 00:05:48.370
-suite executive comes to them and says, you

00:05:48.370 --> 00:05:50.589
know, I have two failed marriages. I'm really

00:05:50.589 --> 00:05:53.610
good in business. I built this brand and I can't

00:05:53.610 --> 00:05:55.850
find the partner. And then the matchmaker goes,

00:05:55.990 --> 00:05:59.269
well, you can't drink at this level. You know,

00:05:59.290 --> 00:06:01.750
here's the problem. But that's out of their wheelhouse.

00:06:01.850 --> 00:06:04.149
So they call us and we come in and we do an evaluation.

00:06:04.250 --> 00:06:07.490
We say, OK, the matchmaker can help you find

00:06:07.490 --> 00:06:10.490
your person, but you've got to be sober. You

00:06:10.490 --> 00:06:13.949
can't show up, you know, drinking at noon on

00:06:13.949 --> 00:06:17.509
a Tuesday and expect this amazing person to be

00:06:17.509 --> 00:06:19.750
in your life and stay there. So then we get them

00:06:19.750 --> 00:06:21.569
sober and then they're ready for the matchmaker.

00:06:21.750 --> 00:06:23.509
So we've done that a couple of times, which has

00:06:23.509 --> 00:06:26.089
been really neat. That's crazy because that's

00:06:26.089 --> 00:06:27.930
where my mind went, doctor. I was like, man,

00:06:28.129 --> 00:06:31.670
this sounds so familiar. But it's very interesting

00:06:31.670 --> 00:06:35.290
because even starting off as an entrepreneur,

00:06:35.410 --> 00:06:40.110
not ever, not yet reaching that C -suite or as

00:06:40.110 --> 00:06:42.649
a business owner, even in a corporate, you don't

00:06:42.649 --> 00:06:46.389
realize how, I guess maybe how fast it's moving,

00:06:46.509 --> 00:06:48.790
how things are going. And then before you know

00:06:48.790 --> 00:06:51.490
it, you're at this certain age where life is

00:06:51.490 --> 00:06:54.519
like. Something something needs to change, you

00:06:54.519 --> 00:06:57.040
know, and at that point, it's either the career

00:06:57.040 --> 00:07:00.980
or it's it's me. And so when you do CBT, which

00:07:00.980 --> 00:07:04.860
is cognitive behavior therapy, correct. What

00:07:04.860 --> 00:07:10.579
is their aha moments? So usually it's here's

00:07:10.579 --> 00:07:12.740
my goal, just like business. Here's what I want.

00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:16.079
But here's where I'm going to get there. And

00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:17.519
when I can show them you're going the opposite

00:07:17.519 --> 00:07:20.019
direction of your goal and I do it in business

00:07:20.019 --> 00:07:23.170
terms, then they go. That makes sense, right?

00:07:24.490 --> 00:07:27.029
Let's say you want to make a million dollars.

00:07:27.490 --> 00:07:29.610
Perfect. And I'll ask them, okay, you're a C

00:07:29.610 --> 00:07:31.389
-suite. How do we do it? And they know, well,

00:07:31.430 --> 00:07:32.930
we're going to do this, this, this, this, and

00:07:32.930 --> 00:07:34.350
this. We're going to remove this, this, this,

00:07:34.410 --> 00:07:36.810
and this. And boom, it's going to happen in six

00:07:36.810 --> 00:07:39.829
months, a year, whatever. Perfect. What do you

00:07:39.829 --> 00:07:42.370
want? Well, I want a partner. I want a family.

00:07:42.550 --> 00:07:44.410
I want this, this, this, and this. Excellent.

00:07:44.509 --> 00:07:46.110
How are you going to do it? And then they look

00:07:46.110 --> 00:07:51.339
at me. And then I say, well, run it like a business.

00:07:51.500 --> 00:07:53.339
And they go, well, OK, technically, I'd have

00:07:53.339 --> 00:07:56.279
to stop drinking, right, or using drugs. Then

00:07:56.279 --> 00:07:58.040
I would have to do this. Then I want to take

00:07:58.040 --> 00:07:59.920
care of my health. And they give me the blueprint.

00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:02.620
And I say, that's what we're going to do. So

00:08:02.620 --> 00:08:05.480
they create the blueprint. And then I say, I'm

00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:08.079
just here to help you facilitate the blueprint.

00:08:08.279 --> 00:08:10.240
I'm like your business coach, right? You came

00:08:10.240 --> 00:08:11.819
to me and said, I want to make a million dollars.

00:08:12.040 --> 00:08:13.819
I would say, how do we do it? You would tell

00:08:13.819 --> 00:08:16.199
me. And then I would say, let's go, right? I'm

00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:18.019
on board. We're going to make it happen. and

00:08:18.019 --> 00:08:20.079
you wouldn't think twice you would go we're going

00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:22.220
to do the same thing with your life so when i

00:08:22.220 --> 00:08:24.379
shift that for them and make them think it's

00:08:24.379 --> 00:08:26.759
a business decision they get behind the wheel

00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:29.279
of the bus and they drive the bus now we're going

00:08:29.279 --> 00:08:31.480
so we're going to do this this and this and then

00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:33.960
they'll call me every day how's it going how

00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:35.740
did your plan go because they'll say what they

00:08:35.740 --> 00:08:38.860
need some of them will do aa and na some of them

00:08:38.860 --> 00:08:41.879
won't some of them find fitness you know if you're

00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:43.820
drinking and doing all those drugs you're not

00:08:43.820 --> 00:08:46.210
working out you're not eating well And they're

00:08:46.210 --> 00:08:48.570
telling me, you know, I want to attract the person

00:08:48.570 --> 00:08:50.870
who works out, who looks good, who feels good.

00:08:50.950 --> 00:08:53.509
And I'm saying, well, you have to do those things

00:08:53.509 --> 00:08:56.730
to attract that person. You know, if you like

00:08:56.730 --> 00:08:59.029
yoga, you go to yoga. Guess what? You're going

00:08:59.029 --> 00:09:02.149
to find someone who likes yoga, right? Like I

00:09:02.149 --> 00:09:04.590
hate to golf. I can't date anybody who golfs.

00:09:04.590 --> 00:09:06.370
I'm not golfing. I'm not interested. I don't

00:09:06.370 --> 00:09:09.330
want to learn. I don't care. So guess what? Because

00:09:09.330 --> 00:09:11.370
of that, I'm not going to attract a golfer. It's

00:09:11.370 --> 00:09:13.649
very simple. And when I explain it to them, they

00:09:13.649 --> 00:09:17.169
go. Wow, that's that easy. But then they have

00:09:17.169 --> 00:09:19.870
to do the work, the action step of actually getting

00:09:19.870 --> 00:09:22.750
behind it and going, OK, now I want to drink.

00:09:22.850 --> 00:09:25.389
But Kelly said I have to go to the gym. So I'm

00:09:25.389 --> 00:09:27.809
going to go to the gym and then I have an appointment

00:09:27.809 --> 00:09:30.070
with her and then I have to do this. And they

00:09:30.070 --> 00:09:32.070
have all these things and they say, OK, drinking

00:09:32.070 --> 00:09:35.350
will ruin all of that. And then how do I how

00:09:35.350 --> 00:09:39.129
do I behave? So it's a process. And once I get

00:09:39.129 --> 00:09:43.879
them thinking in that process and. I give them

00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:45.799
factual information, like Harvard did a study,

00:09:45.899 --> 00:09:48.639
and they said it takes 32 days to change a habit.

00:09:48.980 --> 00:09:51.500
Whatever you want. It changes the neural pathway

00:09:51.500 --> 00:09:54.299
in your brain. If I can get you for 32 days,

00:09:54.379 --> 00:09:57.000
instead of grabbing alcohol after work to go

00:09:57.000 --> 00:09:59.519
to the gym, or go to a yoga class, or go for

00:09:59.519 --> 00:10:02.440
a walk with friends, 32 days from now, your brain

00:10:02.440 --> 00:10:04.940
is going to go, oh, 4 o 'clock, time for my walk.

00:10:05.340 --> 00:10:07.980
Not, oh, 4 o 'clock, time for my bottle of wine.

00:10:08.139 --> 00:10:11.330
Your brain will tell you what you're doing. And

00:10:11.330 --> 00:10:14.429
then from there, it just keeps going. So that's

00:10:14.429 --> 00:10:17.710
what I do in a nutshell. I love it. I love it.

00:10:17.730 --> 00:10:19.850
And it's so funny because I find myself looking

00:10:19.850 --> 00:10:22.850
at myself cheesing, but I'm excited about it.

00:10:22.909 --> 00:10:26.389
And I believe that I was definitely when I was

00:10:26.389 --> 00:10:28.350
in the field of mental health and substance abuse,

00:10:28.450 --> 00:10:30.830
I was actually working with those that were positive

00:10:30.830 --> 00:10:35.330
for HIV AIDS. And so that was even a more struggle

00:10:35.330 --> 00:10:37.850
and not being able to help them the way that

00:10:37.850 --> 00:10:40.620
you're helping them, Dr. Estes. It was just like

00:10:40.620 --> 00:10:43.820
I said, I could just listen if they could grasp

00:10:43.820 --> 00:10:46.179
it. And they were on the younger side. But if

00:10:46.179 --> 00:10:49.019
they could just grasp the understanding of the

00:10:49.019 --> 00:10:51.559
effects that this could have on you and your

00:10:51.559 --> 00:10:55.840
future 40 -year -old self or, you know, 50 -year

00:10:55.840 --> 00:10:59.190
-old self where everything just. Seems like time

00:10:59.190 --> 00:11:02.549
is wasted, right? And then you don't have what

00:11:02.549 --> 00:11:05.330
you need in order to get through. I really, really,

00:11:05.409 --> 00:11:09.210
really am super excited about what you do because

00:11:09.210 --> 00:11:14.110
I actually have this random question. So it's

00:11:14.110 --> 00:11:17.710
based off of television and the life that the

00:11:17.710 --> 00:11:21.590
C -suite life looks like. And they often have

00:11:21.590 --> 00:11:26.399
liquor in their office. From what we know, right,

00:11:26.539 --> 00:11:29.519
from the going down, you know, probably the B

00:11:29.519 --> 00:11:33.320
-suite, we won't be up there. We're not allowed

00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:38.139
to drink on the job. In a different world, that

00:11:38.139 --> 00:11:40.940
does happen. So how does that how do we change

00:11:40.940 --> 00:11:43.679
that for those that really realize like that's

00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:46.340
not acceptable or what it could lead you into?

00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:48.700
I know that's random, though. That's not random.

00:11:48.860 --> 00:11:52.570
So the C -suite has a lot of cocaine. And alcohol.

00:11:52.649 --> 00:11:55.590
Those are their go to, you know, you have the

00:11:55.590 --> 00:11:57.570
cocaine to keep going and you have the alcohol

00:11:57.570 --> 00:12:00.309
to celebrate that you've been keeping to keeping

00:12:00.309 --> 00:12:03.690
going. Right. So it's this combination. So when

00:12:03.690 --> 00:12:06.590
I work with C -suite, I ask them, what's your

00:12:06.590 --> 00:12:08.830
goal? What do you want to what do you want to

00:12:08.830 --> 00:12:12.450
do? And is alcohol helping you or harming you?

00:12:12.529 --> 00:12:14.830
That's my question. And they say, well, it's

00:12:14.830 --> 00:12:17.529
neither. And I say, well, is it really neither?

00:12:17.809 --> 00:12:19.970
I mean, if you're having a drink at noon, then

00:12:19.970 --> 00:12:22.149
you're having a drink at four, then you're coming

00:12:22.149 --> 00:12:24.029
home and you're downing a bottle of wine. Do

00:12:24.029 --> 00:12:25.590
you know what your kids are doing? Do you know

00:12:25.590 --> 00:12:27.850
where they are? Do you even know where your partner

00:12:27.850 --> 00:12:30.149
is? You care. You know, what's what's going on?

00:12:30.730 --> 00:12:33.210
And then when I ask the hard questions, they

00:12:33.210 --> 00:12:35.370
stop and they say, well, you know, alcohol is

00:12:35.370 --> 00:12:37.970
part of the C -suite culture. And I say, sure,

00:12:38.070 --> 00:12:41.700
but. Not always. I said, you don't have to drink.

00:12:41.740 --> 00:12:43.559
You don't have to be part of that environment.

00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:45.980
You can still go to the parties and you can have

00:12:45.980 --> 00:12:48.620
a non -alcoholic beverage. And you'll be surprised

00:12:48.620 --> 00:12:51.759
when you tell people you're not drinking. All

00:12:51.759 --> 00:12:53.899
of a sudden they go, you know what? I'm not drinking

00:12:53.899 --> 00:12:58.299
either. So like there's dry January and I'll

00:12:58.299 --> 00:13:00.120
tell them, you know, dry January doesn't have

00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:03.059
to be just January. Or you tell everybody, you

00:13:03.059 --> 00:13:06.080
know, I'm I'm on a diet. I'm not drinking or

00:13:06.080 --> 00:13:08.870
I have a medical condition. I'm not doing alcohol.

00:13:09.330 --> 00:13:12.269
Whatever it is you need to say, medical condition

00:13:12.269 --> 00:13:15.029
usually kind of stops everybody from going, yeah,

00:13:15.070 --> 00:13:17.009
but you can have one with us. Now, I've got a

00:13:17.009 --> 00:13:18.750
medical issue right now that I'm going through.

00:13:19.009 --> 00:13:21.049
I can't have alcohol. And the person goes, oh,

00:13:21.070 --> 00:13:22.690
my God, I wonder if I have that medical condition.

00:13:23.090 --> 00:13:25.269
And then they stop drinking. And the next thing

00:13:25.269 --> 00:13:27.610
you know, all these people that were drinking,

00:13:27.850 --> 00:13:31.529
you know, out of 10 people to stop. Then the

00:13:31.529 --> 00:13:34.389
third person goes, well, what am I doing? You

00:13:34.389 --> 00:13:35.769
know, and then someone goes, you guys are having

00:13:35.769 --> 00:13:38.289
way more fun. I'm going to quit. And next thing

00:13:38.289 --> 00:13:41.070
you know, out of 10, you might have eight that

00:13:41.070 --> 00:13:42.629
don't drink anymore. And then you have the two

00:13:42.629 --> 00:13:44.769
that are just like, we're not doing that because

00:13:44.769 --> 00:13:47.090
they've decided this is what they want to do.

00:13:47.470 --> 00:13:49.769
And then those eight are kind of flourishing

00:13:49.769 --> 00:13:52.429
and they're doing better statistically. And the

00:13:52.429 --> 00:13:54.250
two that aren't are going, wow, your numbers

00:13:54.250 --> 00:13:56.250
are better. Your stats are better. You're running

00:13:56.250 --> 00:13:58.730
your team better. I wonder if the alcohol is

00:13:58.730 --> 00:14:01.090
the problem. And then they usually get on board,

00:14:01.169 --> 00:14:04.110
too. So it's a process, but it always starts

00:14:04.110 --> 00:14:06.629
with one person going, I'm done. I don't need

00:14:06.629 --> 00:14:10.129
this. And that's it's it's it's I'm so glad you

00:14:10.129 --> 00:14:12.610
said that it's not random and how you mentioned

00:14:12.610 --> 00:14:16.250
it, because I tell you, it's it's it's OK to

00:14:16.250 --> 00:14:19.669
not drink. I must admit that I am or confess

00:14:19.669 --> 00:14:22.590
and be transparent. I'm four years sober, March

00:14:22.590 --> 00:14:26.070
6th. And so I'm super excited. But the clarity

00:14:26.070 --> 00:14:30.490
that I that that is had that occurs once you're

00:14:30.490 --> 00:14:35.090
done, you know, doing that is is amazing. The

00:14:35.090 --> 00:14:37.590
thought process in which you have to go through

00:14:37.590 --> 00:14:40.570
in order to get through is like, whoa, you really,

00:14:40.649 --> 00:14:44.730
truly need someone to help you manage those thoughts

00:14:44.730 --> 00:14:47.429
in order to stay sober. But I love how you said

00:14:47.429 --> 00:14:49.509
it only starts with one person. And you're right,

00:14:49.610 --> 00:14:53.289
because it only takes one person to make a change.

00:14:53.470 --> 00:14:56.610
And that change can be big and it can grow. And

00:14:56.610 --> 00:15:00.690
even though that's a part of the culture. You

00:15:00.690 --> 00:15:03.289
can be different and do things differently. And

00:15:03.289 --> 00:15:06.710
I truly, truly, truly love that for you. I want

00:15:06.710 --> 00:15:09.009
to be aware of your time, doctor. But there's

00:15:09.009 --> 00:15:13.049
always one favorite question that I have. What

00:15:13.049 --> 00:15:16.929
are the greatest joys of what you do? So for

00:15:16.929 --> 00:15:19.590
me, I love when a client calls me a year later

00:15:19.590 --> 00:15:22.129
and goes, I'm still sober. And it's because of

00:15:22.129 --> 00:15:25.289
what you told me, this one little knowledge nugget

00:15:25.289 --> 00:15:28.049
that stuck. And they'll tell me some random thought.

00:15:28.129 --> 00:15:29.820
And I'll say, did I say that? Did I really say

00:15:29.820 --> 00:15:32.080
that? And it just stuck. And I'm like, that's

00:15:32.080 --> 00:15:33.840
what kept me here. And I'm like, that's awesome.

00:15:34.299 --> 00:15:36.159
And then I hear how great they're doing or I

00:15:36.159 --> 00:15:38.879
see them on TV and I see. wow, they look amazing.

00:15:39.100 --> 00:15:41.580
They made that transformation. That works for

00:15:41.580 --> 00:15:43.980
me. So that's why I do what I do. Thank you for

00:15:43.980 --> 00:15:45.960
being here today. I'm really happy that you tuned

00:15:45.960 --> 00:15:48.279
