Episode #60: A Deeper Dive into Russ’s Book: The Sober Entrepreneur

Fans of the show may or may not know that Russ and Mika are both sober. And in 2017, a few years into his sobriety, Russ published his first book The Sober Entrepreneur,  about his struggles to balance work, life, and combat addiction.

Now almost 6 years sober, Russ calls the book not only an obligation to his family, but a resource for those who might be going through a similar situation.

Russ says for you to succeed as an entrepreneur you need to be addicted to a belief, a characteristic that if not controlled right, could lead to addiction in other forms.

He says the decision to write the book was extremely personal, and in this episode, you’ll hear more about the legacy he hopes his story will leave, a few takeaways from other people who have read it, and a bit more about Russ and Mika’s decisions to get sober.
