Episode 3 – Joel Dovey

In this episode, Vince is joined by Joel Dovey, founder of JDF Consultancy, to explore the often-unspoken role alcohol plays in performance, health, and leadership.

Together, they talk honestly about sober curiosity, the fear of missing out in business and social settings, and why so many high-functioning professionals quietly question their relationship with alcohol. Vince shares his own journey, from decades of heavy drinking to the clarity and confidence sobriety has brought, and reflects on how alcohol can quietly limit focus, recovery, and emotional resilience.

This conversation isn’t about labels or telling anyone what to do. It’s about awareness, choice, and what becomes possible when you stop negotiating with alcohol and start backing yourself instead.
