What does it really look like to rebuild your life after rock bottom? In this episode, Johnny sits down with Johnny Chase, founder of Dry Culture, for one of the most raw and honest conversations about sobriety, identity, and discipline you'll hear anywhere. These two have history, and it shows. No filters, no fluff, just two people who've lived it.

Johnny Chase opens up about what it felt like to be two or three days deep into a bender and still sitting at the same bar in the same clothes, the moment he realized alcohol (not weed) was the real gateway drug, and why rehab taught him how to stop drinking but left him completely unprepared for what came next. He talks about the loneliness of early sobriety, "people pruning" over 100 contacts from his phone, and how one mile on a treadmill in rehab became the foundation for a completely new identity.

From losing 50 pounds and running two marathons to preparing to run 339 miles across the state of Iowa as part of an 8-man relay, Johnny's story is a masterclass in what happens when you replace one addiction with a better one and build your life around it. He and Johnny J also go deep on the intersection of sobriety and psilocybin, why the running community is becoming more open to mushrooms, and how flow state might be the missing piece for endurance athletes.

Johnny Chase is launching his 30 Day Reset workbook program, a physical guided journal built around four pillars: movement, discipline, identity, and environment. It was designed to do what rehab doesn't: give you something to replace the habit with.

What we get into:

• The moment Johnny Chase knew alcohol was destroying his life
• How cocaine entered the picture and why money made it worse
• "People pruning" and why it was the most important thing he did in early sobriety
• Running as identity and how one mile changed everything
• Losing 50 pounds just by stopping drinking
• What rehab actually does (and doesn't) prepare you for
• The 30 Day Reset: the four pillars and how the program works
• Running across Iowa on his birthday
• The sober community's evolving relationship with mushrooms and microdosing
• Psilocybin, flow state, and the mental game of endurance running
• Why "recovering out loud" is the most powerful thing you can do
