“Time isn’t a concept, it’s a countdown”

What started as a conversation about mindful alcohol use, quickly unfolded into a deeper exploration of personal growth, fatherhood, journaling, and staying authentically human in an AI-driven world.

Tony Riccio shares his families history with alcoholism and when he had that ‘aha’ moment that he had to make some important decisions around his relationship with alcohol.

As a luxury travel host, Tony’s career depends on him being social which often involves entertaining clients. So how does he decide when to drink, and when to abstain?

He details how journaling helped him create practical “rules” for drinking that improved his health, his relationships, and gaining clarity without going fully sober. Then he wrote a book about it, which we delve into.

This chat with Tony will inspire you to reflect and examine your own habits with curiosity rather than judgment.
