Ellie Webb: Caleño
This week we welcome the wonderful Ellie Webb to the podcast! Ellie is the founder of one of our favourite AF drink brands, Caleño.
While taking a break from alcohol in 2017, Ellie was shocked at how limited the drinks options were for people who didn't drink. We've all had the conversation with the bar person where they've looked back at us blankly after asking about their alcohol free options to hear "yeah, do you want a coke?". Well, Ellie decided enough was enough.
Now in 2024, Caleño is flying off the shelves in the supermarkets and bar are stocked full of it. If you'd like to stock your fridge full of it too, you can visit calenodrinks.com

Ian Thurlbeck: Four Years AF!
Our community member Ian Thurlbeck is back for his third round in the OTI ring!
We spoke to Ian after one year, then two years and so now we're catching up with him again after four years to find out what alcohol free life is like for him further down the road.
We chat about the new habits he has formed as a result of ditching alcohol and how the integration into alcohol free wasn't the shock he suspected that it might be.
If you're inspired by Ian's story, then we're sure he'd love to meet you! We're very lucky that Ian hosts regular Zoom calls for us in our OTI Community, and you can find all of the details below if you think connection could be the missing piece of the puzzle for you.

This week Shaz and Ben are joined by Alex Clapp, a sober events organiser with his company Claritee based in the North West of England.
Alex chats everything from pickles to pandas on this episode (it'll make sense) and shares his story of how sobriety has opened a whole new world to him that he didn't know could exist on the other side of ditching alcohol.
