New Season and Its First Episode: Alcohol-Free and Spirituality with Matt Pink

New Season and Its First Episode: Alcohol-Free and Spirituality with Matt Pink


In person with Matt Pink on Alcohol Free and Spirituality


A deeper, slower conversation to open the new in-person era. Andy sits down with friend and creator Matt Pink to explore what really unfolds after going alcohol free. The chat ranges from grief and gratitude to spirituality, men’s work, and the courage to live fully in the present. Matt shares the encounter that jolted him back to life, the love story that followed, lessons from a professionally guided retreat, and why removing alcohol creates the space for meaning, purpose, and real connection.


What you will hear

  • Origin story
    How chance, inspiration, and early alcohol free experiments led Matt to change his life and identity.
  • Spirituality without the labels
    Why many rediscover a personal spiritual practice once alcohol is removed, and how that supports courage, clarity, and calm.
  • Grief, love, and gratitude
    Finding light in the darkest moments, becoming a present dad, and choosing growth over victimhood.
  • Real talk about sobriety
    The highs, the hard bits, and why comfort habits can box us in while stilling the mind open up new possibilities.
  • Creating work with heart
    Building useful things in the world, facing real-world constraints, and meeting them all with a firm step.
