Shane Ramer is the founder and host of That Sober Guy Podcast, a culture and performance platform examining what happens when high-performing men remove alcohol and reclaim clarity, focus, and leverage. Since launching the show in 2014, Shane has reached millions of listeners across 100+ countries by challenging conventional narratives around masculinity, success, and sobriety. His work sits at the intersection of identity, discipline, and modern performance. Shane works privately with executives, founders, athletes, and creatives who are no longer interested in numbing high performance with low-level coping tools. His approach reframes sobriety not as healing, but as optimization, removing friction so men can operate with precision in business, health, and leadership. He is also the creator of the Sober Male Index, a performance-focused data project tracking how sobriety impacts focus, productivity, income, and social dynamics in men. Shane is a husband of 20 years, a father of two, and lives his work through faith, fitness, and daily discipline.

I Was Sober for 11 Years... Then I Went Back | Matt Farnsworth

Episode 590

jeudi 11 juin 2026 • Duration 59:27

What happens when someone stays sober for 11 years... and still ends up relapsing?

In this powerful episode of That Sober Guy Podcast, Shane sits down with keynote speaker, bestselling author, filmmaker, and recovery coach Matt Farnsworth to discuss the hard truths about sobriety, relapse, identity, and what it actually takes to build a life worth staying sober for.

Matt shares his incredible story of achieving more than a decade of sobriety before relapsing and spiraling into a devastating car accident that left him with a broken neck and clinically dead for three minutes. Yet even after surviving the crash, he found himself seeking alcohol again just hours later.

Together, Shane and Matt explore why simply removing alcohol is often not enough, how many people mistake abstinence for recovery, and why rebuilding identity is one of the most important parts of lasting transformation.

They also discuss the tendency toward self deception, the danger of trying to recover alone, and why rock bottom may be the beginning of a comeback rather than the end of the story.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why white knuckling sobriety often leads to relapse • The difference between being sober and being truly free • How identity shapes long term recovery • Why the brain that got you addicted cannot be trusted to get you out • The cycle of temptation, isolation, shame, and relapse • Why outside help, accountability, and community matter • How to turn rock bottom into a launchpad for change • What it takes to build a life worth staying sober for

Whether you're newly alcohol free, years into recovery, or simply looking to level up your life, this conversation offers practical wisdom, hope, and a reminder that your past does not have to define your future.

Takeaway:

If you're a man looking to quit drinking, improve your health, and build momentum in your life, join our free online men's community, The Victory Circle.

You'll connect with other men committed to becoming stronger husbands, fathers, leaders, and business owners while living alcohol free.

Personal Responsibility vs. Addiction: What Actually Works? | Dr. Tyler Evans

Episode 589

jeudi 4 juin 2026 • Duration 50:55

Is addiction really a disease? Or does personal responsibility play a bigger role in recovery than most people realize?

In this episode of That Sober Guy Podcast, Shane sits down with Dr. Tyler Evans, addiction medicine physician, public health leader, and CEO of Wellness Equity Alliance, for a thought provoking conversation about addiction, recovery, personal responsibility, and the systems that influence our health and behavior.

Together, they explore some of the most debated topics in recovery, including the disease model of addiction, the role of trauma, the power of personal choice, and whether our current approach to recovery is helping people or holding them back.

If you've ever questioned what you've been told about addiction, wondered why some people successfully quit drinking while others struggle for years, or challenged the labels and beliefs often associated with recovery, this episode will give you plenty to think about.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Is addiction a disease, a behavior, or something in between? • How personal responsibility impacts long term recovery • Why alcohol remains one of society's most accepted addictive substances • The role of trauma, environment, and individual choice in recovery • Whether recovery labels help people heal or keep them stuck • How alcohol impacts performance, leadership, and reaching your full potential

Whether you're sober curious, alcohol free, in recovery, or simply looking to optimize your health and performance, this conversation offers a fresh perspective on one of the most important topics affecting millions of people today.

If you're a man looking to quit drinking, improve your health, and level up your life, join our free online men's community, The Victory Circle. You'll connect with other men committed to living alcohol free and building stronger lives, businesses, marriages, and families. https://www.thatsoberguy.com/offers/SvjjuEQ2/checkout

Ray Trapani: Bitconned - Where Is The Centra Tech Co-Founder Today And Is He Off Drugs And Sober?

Episode 488

vendredi 19 janvier 2024 • Duration 01:07:24

Ray Trapani is the co-founder of Centra Tech and is also the main character in a recent Netflix documentary by director Bryan Storkel titled 'Bitconned'. Bitconned is about the Centra Tech crypto Scam by Ray and his partners. In the true-crime documentary, Ray and his business partners exploit the early cryptocurrency market to scam millions from investors and bankroll lavish lifestyles.

When I watched Bitconned a couple of weeks back, it was obvious to me that there was way more to this story and more to Rays life than just scamming people out of millions of dollars. There was a massive addiction problem to pills and gambling, as well as an addiction to the criminal lifestyle. There was also a kid who grew up without a father, that was molested by his step brother, that started taking drugs before he was even a teenager, and an eventual suicide attempt.

I wanted to have Ray on the show to explain more about his life, his addiction, and his recovery.
