John Plageman is a community advocate, social worker, and the founder of Sober Green Bay and Section Yellow. After finding his own path to sobriety in 2009, John dedicated himself to changing the narrative around alcohol in a city often cited for its heavy drinking culture. Inspired by the "Phellowship" (sober fans of the band Phish), John launched Section Yellow in 2019 to provide a safe, sober space for Green Bay Packers fans at Lambeau Field. His work has since expanded into the Sober Green Bay campaign, an outreach initiative that partners with local businesses and community agencies to normalize sobriety and provide accessible resources for those in recovery.

In this episode, Brad and John discuss Section Yellow and making sober "cool" and supported at Lambeau Field and other live events, John's path to sobriety, Wisconsin's drinking culture, running for Green Bay City Council, and MUCH more.
