People Like us do Things Like This: A Monologue on Status

In this week's episode, Lee Davy talks about the role that status has in our challenge to become someone that doesn't drink alcohol. It's a complicated and deep topic, but essentially, don't underestimate the power desiring external approval has on our decision to remain a drinker when our innate wisdom advises us to stop.

A Sober Journey: A Conversation With Anna Welch

This week’s guest is Anna Welch. 

 

Anna, from Tulsa, Oklahoma, has been a STRIVER for almost five years, and I invited her onto the show to share her journey. Since joining STRIVE, Anna has learned to be someone who doesn’t drink alcohol and to live more consciously. She is a leader within the STRIVE community, at her place of work, and, of course, in her home in her role as wife and mother. 

 

In this episode, we talk about the difficulty in joining communities like STRIVE because of the shame associated with having alcohol dependency, what ‘doing the work’ looks like for Anna and her relationship with God.

 

You’ll find the 1000 Days Sober Podcast on all the major platforms. The video of the conversation is available here.

How to Become a Winner

Do you feel like a loser or a winner?

 

Do you have a fixed or growth mindset?

 

Are you optimistic or pessimistic?

 

Do you find yourselves blaming people, the world, politicians, and God for the results you’re getting in life?

 

If you answered YES to any of these questions, then (a) you’re not alone, (b) you’re human, and (c) STRIVE has your back in today’s podcast.

 

At STRIVE, we help you become someone that doesn’t drink alcohol and live consciously through a triangulation of education, philosophy and community. 

 

A crucial aspect of our philosophy is you can make the process of unearthing your innate wisdom FUN! We help you do this through our quest process, and in today’s process, I share our ‘Winner Winner Chicken Dinner Quest.’

 

What results could you manifest if you were to celebrate five daily wins for the next 30 days?

Sex, Porn & Affairs: A Conversation With Jason Portnoy

Entrepreneur, venture capitalist, and author Jason Portnoy began his career at PayPal, working closely with technology icons like Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Max Levchin, and Reid Hoffman. 

 

He served as the first Chief Financial Officer of Palantir Technologies (NYSE: PLTR) and later founded Oakhouse Partners, a top-performing venture capital firm. 

 

Jason is sought after as a trusted advisor to technology company CEOs and has spoken on topics ranging from executive leadership to the intersections of technology and humanity. 

 

He holds engineering degrees from Stanford University (MS) and the University of Colorado (BS). He currently lives in Park City, Utah, with his wife, two children, and their family dog.

 

I invited Jason onto the show to talk about his addiction to pornography and sex, two of the most often shunned topics of conversation in our daily lives. 

 

Jason is the author of the book “Silicon Valley Porn Star.” 

 

From modest roots in the suburbs of New Jersey, Jason Portnoy followed a script carefully crafted by society. He found himself in the middle of the PayPal Mafia, launched into a Silicon Valley career of wealth and prestige he never dreamed of. Stock options, flashy cars, a fantastic family. 

 

On the outside, his life looked perfect, but unhealed traumas from his past left him tortured, descending into a dark world of pornography and sex that eventually pushed him to the edge. 

 

In Silicon Valley Porn Star, Jason willingly shares his transformation from a life of extramarital affairs and superficial excess to one of the chosen values and renewed relationships. 

 

His journey sheds light on a crisis of masculinity in our modern world, where quests for unlimited power and success are gateways to addiction, dependency, and unhinged behaviour. No matter your profession or position, Jason’s story will inspire you to look within and find your path toward success, fulfilment, and becoming the man you truly want to be.

Transitions

A problem in the STRIVE community is how to operate above the line when the trifecta of marriage/parenting/business clashes. Each of these areas can provide unique challenges that can bleed into one another, dragging you below the line into victim consciousness and triggering you to drink. In this episode, Lee Davy introduces the tool of  ‘transitioning’ to help you improve in this vital area. 

 

STRIVE is a community and educational platform that helps you live more consciously after becoming someone who doesn’t drink alcohol.

9 Parallels Between Running & Sobriety

At STRIVE, we help people who don’t drink alcohol to live consciously. A tool we use is to consider our actions through the lens of parallel growth. Put simply, what is it about this moment that contains elements of development we can use in other areas of our lives? 

 

An example is running. 

 

If you were to run today, what is it about the act of running, how you feel while running, what thoughts come to mind, your environment, and the weather that you can transfer into another area of your life, such as your continuing and ever-evolving sobriety?

 

Here are nine parallels between running and being someone who doesn’t drink alcohol.
