045: From Alcoholic to Entrepreneur: How Getting Sober Transforms Your Life with Justin Draplin

In this episode of The Modern Man, I welcome Justin Draplin, CEO of Eclipse Cottages, to open up about the changes he went through while getting sober and how he's creating an impact on others through entrepreneurship. From driving drunk to building a community of tiny homes, Justin has an incredibly insightful and humble story you won't want to miss.

Listen in as Justin shines a light on how his spirituality shifted after getting sober and what he's learned about building strong relationships and taking control of your life as a man.

"We're never too lost and that can be a hard concept but I've lived it. I should be dead."

– Justin Draplin

You don't have to be an entrepreneur or be struggling with addiction to gain something from this discussion. I bet Justin's journey with identity, decision-making, and radical honesty will plant a few seeds in your head that could later grow into something transformational.
