    Life's Marathon

    Life's Marathon

    Sean Robinson is a married, father of 3. In the middle of COVID-19, he decided he had enough of how I was feeling, and seeing the scale reach 320lbs, he knew it was time to make some changes.  Sean decided to remove alcohol from his life, at least for a little while. Going through “Dry January,” “Dry February,” and beyond, Sean learned so much more about himself. He focused more on his habitual relationship with drinking rather than the addiction. Sean found out how difficult it was to simply remove this from his life.  

    In the pursuit of helping his former self, Sean took a journal he was keeping through the first year of this journey and made it into a book. "Going Dry - My Path to Overcoming Habitual Drinking" was the catalyst for change that Sean needed in his life.  Since the start of this journey, he has lost over 100 lbs., stayed away from alcohol, developed better relationships with my family, and has been feeling great.  

    Sean joins Unfiltered Discussions for a second time to discuss his progress as well as upcoming challenges he’s set for himself.

The Way Conversations Should Be Held

Brian as a host does a phenomenal job of allowing for the guests to tell their stories, and sprinkle his own experiences in between that helps further these discussions. This is a show that everyone should listen to and learn from because this show offers a multitude of different experiences and lessons.

Excellent Discussions!! A Must-Listen!!

I absolutely love “Unfiltered Discussions” hosted by Brian Howard. The discussions are remarkable, in-depth, responsible, and touching! Brian is a great talk-show host who hits the mark on the topics discussed while remaining positive. As a twenty-five year retired police officer, I find the discussions educational, helpful and thoughtful. “Unfiltered Discussions” is a success, far-reaching and I recommend it!
