The Sober Cold Bear explores the intersection of business and sobriety. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a corporate executive, or anyone in between, if you’re in the business world and struggling with addiction, this is for you! During our time, we will talk about the challenges, the wins, the setbacks, and the breakthroughs that come with staying sober while juggling the demands of a high-stakes career.
