The aesthetic of the room is probably the coolest of any podcast I've seen.

When you quit an addiction, you quit. No counting days or anything, you just move on in life. No disrespect to anyone who counts but I feel that keeps you tied to it. Thanks for this clip Shawn hell yeah.

Fellow alcoholic here. 4 years and 2 months sober. I agree 100% with you, Shawn. Also, love your attitude. Truly proud of you brother. Big big fan of you as a man, veteran and fellow podcaster. Hoping one day to be a guest on your show too. I’m an author and a massive history junkie. Keep up the great job, man!

Our past reminds us of where we have been and sometimes, if we learn, where not to go to again.

I’m a bartender in Vegas and your bar is probably better than half of these casino bars I’ve worked at.

As a retired veteran, one thing I love about your podcast is how it feels like I've walked into a team room and listening to the stories. It takes me back. Another thing I love about your podcast is how GREAT of an interviewer you are. You are the most respectful interviewer I have ever watched or listened to. You ask questions and let them talk. You don't interrupt, you don't overtalk to share your experience. You truly make the experience about the interviewee and their story. You are one of the best... if not THE BEST.
