In this episode of the Fourth Street Live Podcast, Jacob sits down with Lisa to talk about her journey from addiction to long-term recovery—and the reality of what it actually takes to stay clean. Lisa opens up about growing up in the Bay Area, getting clean in Contra Costa County, and eventually moving to Reno in search of something different.

Lisa dives into the hard truth about recovery culture, including toxic dynamics in the rooms, learning boundaries, and what it means to truly feel safe—especially as a woman in recovery. She breaks down how addiction shows up in more than just drugs, and how healing requires more than just putting substances down. From getting hit by a car while using, to finally surrendering and rebuilding her life, Lisa’s story is about growth, accountability, independence, and learning how to thrive alone before building anything with anyone else. This episode touches on: Bay Area recovery vs Reno recovery Why making friends in sobriety is harder than people admit Boundaries, self-worth, and personal growth The difference between isolation and solitude Dating, relationships, and staying clean Why surrender—not strength—is the key to recovery Real, unfiltered, and honest—this is one of the most raw conversations yet.

In Episode 39 of Fourth Street Live, Jacob sits down with Wes King, founder of Tahoe Trail Bar, to unpack what it really takes to build a business from nothing — while staying sober, grounded, and purpose-driven. Wes shares the raw origin story of Tahoe Trail Bar, which started in 2010 out of a small coffee shop kitchen with no business plan, no roadmap, and no safety net. What began as mixing ingredients by hand evolved into a nationally distributed consumer packaged goods brand found in Whole Foods, Raley’s, outdoor retailers, and e-commerce platforms across the country. This episode dives deep into entrepreneurship from the trenches: Self-distribution out of the back of a Subaru Scaling from hundreds of bars to 50,000-unit production runs Learning cost of goods, margins, and cash flow the hard way Taking massive risks before knowing the outcome The reality of burnout, nervous breakdowns, and rebuilding Wes also opens up about recovery, getting sober, and why people who’ve walked through addiction often become strong entrepreneurs — high pain tolerance, courage, authenticity, and the ability to keep going when others quit. The conversation connects recovery principles directly to business: trusting the process, staying consistent, building real relationships, and focusing on action instead of outcomes. It’s an honest look at ownership, discipline, identity, and the long game. This episode isn’t about hype — it’s about doing the work.
