None for Me: How to Succeed in Business Without Really Drinking
Sobriety is often framed as a limitation. In business, it can even feel like a liability. So much of professional culture is tied to alcohol; the client dinner, the networking happy hour, the celebratory champagne.
But what if the opposite were true?
None for Me: How to Succeed in Business Without Really Drinking is my upcoming book about how saying no to alcohol opened the door to a greater yes in every area of life and work. It’s part memoir, part business book, and part devotional — designed to show you that clarity, discipline, and faith are not just personal choices, but powerful advantages in leadership and entrepreneurship.
What’s Inside
The book explores:
The Myths of Alcohol in Business: Why culture glorifies drinking and what it really costs.
The Sobriety Advantage: How clarity, focus, energy, and integrity sharpen decision-making and leadership.
Practical Strategies: Networking, building team culture, and handling pressure without relying on alcohol.
Living Your Mission: Finding purpose beyond profit, leaving a legacy, and creating abundance for others.
Each chapter opens with scripture, reflection, and then moves into personal stories and practical tools. The goal isn’t to lecture — it’s to encourage, to equip, and to remind you that success doesn’t require a glass in your hand.
Why This Matters
I’ve been sober since May 16, 2022. In that time, I’ve built and sold businesses, taught students, raised a family, and discovered that sobriety wasn’t a weakness to hide but a strength to embrace.
This book is about sharing that journey with you, not as theory, but as lived experience. If you’re sober, sober curious, or simply looking for a new way to approach business and leadership, I think you’ll find yourself in these pages.
