233. Getting your power back and looking up with Beau Brooks.

How I quit alcohol

In this episode, I catch up with Beau Brooks, who rose to fame in the 2010s as the frontman of the popular prankster group, The Janoskians. From hanging out with celebrities like the Kardashians and Ariana Grande, Beau shares his journey and opens up about his childhood wound from being abandoned by his father at a young age, which fueled an unquenchable desire for recognition.

After achieving fame, Beau started drinking heavily, which escalated to binge drinking and an inability to socialize without substances. His addiction to alcohol, cocaine, and pharmaceutical drugs spiraled out of control until a near-death experience he pledged to stay sober.

Now living a more humble life, Beau works in a factory and resides with his mom, using public transport to get to and from work. Despite his challenges, he uses his massive platform of over 3 million TikTok followers to advocate for mental health, sobriety, and living a wholesome life. Beau also participates in ultra-marathons and recently launched his own clothing brand, Look Up (I was actually his first customer!).
