In today’s episode, Donald sits down with Michelle Pualani Houston, the founder of To Be Honest Beverage Co., a purpose-driven non-alcoholic spirits brand redefining what it means to drink intentionally. After one personal decision to take a break from alcohol turned into a life-changing transformation, Michelle found clarity, confidence, and a deeper sense of purpose—ultimately launching a movement within the sober curious community.
Michelle opens up about her early relationship with drinking, the mental health struggles that pushed her toward change, and how her journey evolved into a mission of creating sophisticated, functional, zero-proof spirits infused with hemp-derived CBD. Together with her husband, she’s helping reshape social drinking culture—making space for inclusion, presence, and mindful choices without sacrificing flavor or experience.
