In this episode of the Neuroflex podcast, host Toby Passman interviews Mike Hardenbrook, a lifelong entrepreneur, tech executive, digital nomad, and author of 'No Willpower Required'. Mike shares insights from his personal journey through habitual drinking, eventual sobriety, and the neuroscience behind habit change. He discusses his initial struggles with alcohol during college and how his lifestyle of high achievement coexisted with nightly drinking. Mike's turning point came with the realization that he needed to change his relationship with alcohol, particularly with the approaching birth of his first daughter. He emphasizes the importance of replacing bad habits with new ones rather than relying on willpower alone, and shares how integrating mindfulness and neuroplasticity through practices such as breath work and the use of supplements helped him recalibrate his habits. 

The episode also covers the potential of psychedelics in facilitating habit change, underscoring the importance of a controlled environment and integration work post-experience. Mike highlights ongoing research into the efficacy of psilocybin and MDMA in reducing alcohol dependency and promoting healthier habits. The discussion also touches on the misconception of 'addictive personalities' and the need for a nuanced perspective towards moderation and abstinence. Mike conveys that changing one's habits around alcohol doesn't necessarily require hitting 'rock bottom' but rather understanding and addressing the root causes of one's drinking habits.

Ed Kressy had a lot of opportunities in life: college education, career with Genentech (named Fortune Magazine's Number One "Best Company to Work For"), home ownership in San Francisco.

Yet he threw it all, and much more, away to two decades of drug addiction. He spent months in jail, and years in destitution. His final 11 devastating years of addiction to methamphetamine resulted in harrowing psychosis, including extreme paranoia around the FBI.

After getting clean in 2008, he discovered: Just because you're done with drugs, doesn't mean drugs are done with you. He continued to battle severe mental health challenges.

Fortunately, amazing individuals inspired him to pursue a path of self-improvement, spirituality, and service to others. In 2019, FBI Director Christopher Wray recognized him with his Director's Community Leadership Award.

His inspiring transformation is the subject of his upcoming book, My Addiction & Recovery: Just Because You're Done with Drugs, Doesn't Mean Drugs Are Done with You (Lifestyle Entrepreneurs Press, April 2020).

His articles appear in The Washington Post, the San Francisco Chronicle, and Vox. He has appeared on stage for The Moth.

He volunteers for the FBI and Police Department in his hometown of San Francisco, helping their outreach to communities affected by incarceration and addiction.

He spends days and weekends in California state prisons, volunteering for organizations (Defy Ventures and Hustle 2.0) that deliver training in entrepreneurism and employment for currently and formerly incarcerated men and women.

He leads a weekly Toastmasters-style meeting in a women's unit of San Francisco County Jail.

For much of his early life, Jay Shifman was told that he was living with a debilitating Mental Illness. As his condition worsened, he was prescribed more drugs at ever higher doses until, in his early 20s, he was daily taking more than the estimated lethal dosage for multiple drugs and living with a full-blown Addiction to prescription pills. At 23, after two suicide attempts, an overdose, and time spent in an inpatient hospital and a rehab facility, he decided enough was enough and pledged to withdraw from all of his prescriptions. After years of having his struggle chosen for him—to simply make it through the day—he finally chose what to struggle for. 

He has written for publications including David’s Voice, New York Minute Magazine and Guy Talk. A graduate of Northern Kentucky University with a B.A. in Psychology, he strives every day to end the stigma around the topics of Mental Health and Addiction by telling his story and helping others tell theirs. Jay has certifications in Psychological First Aid, Drug Policy and the Social Contexts of Mental Health and Illnesses, Suicide Prevention, and Coaching, among others. You can learn more about his experience by visiting his LinkedIn page and you can find his podcast, the Choose Your Struggle podcast, on Stitcher, Apple, Castbox, Overcast, Pocket Casts, Radio Public, and Spotify.
