Shane Ramer is the founder and host of That Sober Guy Podcast, a culture and performance platform examining what happens when high-performing men remove alcohol and reclaim clarity, focus, and leverage. Since launching the show in 2014, Shane has reached millions of listeners across 100+ countries by challenging conventional narratives around masculinity, success, and sobriety. His work sits at the intersection of identity, discipline, and modern performance. Shane works privately with executives, founders, athletes, and creatives who are no longer interested in numbing high performance with low-level coping tools. His approach reframes sobriety not as healing, but as optimization, removing friction so men can operate with precision in business, health, and leadership. He is also the creator of the Sober Male Index, a performance-focused data project tracking how sobriety impacts focus, productivity, income, and social dynamics in men. Shane is a husband of 20 years, a father of two, and lives his work through faith, fitness, and daily discipline.All rights reserved by That Sober Guy Podcast Personal Development Personal Success Social Sciences

  • Athletic Brewing is Changing the Game | Why NFL Quarterbacks Are Betting on Non-Alcoholic Beer, Performance & a New Drinking Culture
    Sep 17 2026

    Athletic Brewing Is Changing the Game.

    What happens when NFL quarterbacks stop just drinking the beer and start owning the company?

    Dak Prescott and Drake Maye recently became athlete-owners of Athletic Brewing, one of the biggest names in the non-alcoholic beer movement. And their involvement raises a much bigger question:

    Are we watching a major shift in sports culture?

    For decades, beer and professional sports were practically inseparable. The old-school NFL quarterback was the guy crushing beers after the game. Today, elite athletes are talking about recovery, sleep, performance, longevity, and what they put in their bodies. And now some of those same athletes are putting their names, platforms, and money behind non-alcoholic beer.

    Shane Ramer takes a curious, funny, and sometimes skeptical look at Athletic Brewing, Dak Prescott, Drake Maye, non-alcoholic beer, masculinity, performance culture, and the rapidly changing relationship between athletes and alcohol.

    Is non-alcoholic beer actually cool?

    Is it just fake beer for people who don't want to admit they're drinking?
    Why does someone else's beverage seem to bother people so much?
    And could “I want to feel good tomorrow” become the new flex?

    Shane also gets personal about his own relationship with alcohol and why he believes the bigger conversation isn't simply about being “sober.” It's about becoming more intentional about what helps you perform, connect, celebrate, recover, and actually enjoy your life.

    Because maybe the future isn't about whether you drink or don't drink.

    Maybe it's about whether you're getting everything you want out of your life.

    This is a conversation about beer.

    But it's really about where sports, culture, business, and performance are headed next.

  • What the Hell Are We Supposed to Believe? 9/11, $2.3 Trillion, Tony Romo, Trump & 13 Years Sober
    Sep 9 2026

    25 years after 9/11, we’re still living in the world it created.

    Security. Surveillance. War. Media. Technology. Fear. Freedom.

    September 11 changed America in ways most of us never could have imagined. And now, 25 years later, it’s worth asking: Did we actually learn anything?

    We’ll also get into the $2.3 trillion question, Tony Romo, Trump and AI, and some of the strange connections surrounding the world we’re living in today.

    And for me, there’s one more reason this date matters. September 11 is also the day I gave up drinking 13 years ago.

    One day changed a country.

    One day changed my life.

  • We're All Full of $h!t | Tiger Woods, Bill Simmons, Mark Ruffalo & the Beautiful Art of Explaining Away Bad Decisions
    Sep 3 2026

    We’re all full of shit.

    Tiger Woods, Bill Simmons, Mark Ruffalo — three completely different stories, but somehow the same theme: everybody’s got an explanation.

    Tiger crashes his car. Bill gets caught up in a sports betting mess. Mark Ruffalo finds himself in the middle of a $111 billion media merger and an internet outrage cycle.

    And then there’s the rest of us.

    In this episode, Shane gets into why we’re so good at explaining our decisions, defending our behavior, and convincing ourselves that maybe the thing we did wasn’t really that bad.

    Because sometimes the biggest problem isn’t what we did.

    It’s the story we tell ourselves about why we did it.

    Culture, controversy, celebrity chaos, sports, sobriety, and a little reality check along the way.
