    Drew Harris: 2 Yakitonians sit down and talk Real Estate, Sobriety, and Becoming Your Best Self

    In this episode of Joels Mind Podcast, I sit down with Drew Harris to talk about sobriety, personal growth, discipline, and what it means to become a better version of yourself. Drew shares his journey from growing up around real estate investing to building his own path while learning valuable lessons about health, mindset, and self-awareness. We dive into the challenges of navigating social situations without alcohol, dealing with peer pressure, and how choosing sobriety has positively impacted every area of his life. We also discuss the importance of consistency, surrounding yourself with the right people, giving back to your community, and finding fulfillment through intentional living. Whether you're sober, sober-curious, or simply looking to level up your life, Drew's perspective offers practical insights and plenty of inspiration. If you enjoyed this conversation, be sure to subscribe, leave a review, and share the episode with someone who might benefit from it.
