Dry January with Michael Brown: The TikTok Superstar
Season 3, Episode 94, Jan 02, 2023, 11:50 AM
In this episode we catch up with Michael Brown, aka Misha, aka Don't Cross a Gay Man (@dontcrossagayman) on TikTok, two years after we first spoke to him on the podcast!
Michael is over four years sober after deciding to remove alcohol from his life on Christmas Eve 2018 - and he credits all of his success over the last few years back to this moment.
When we first spoke to Michael he had a few thousand followers on social media... Now he has a few million after deciding that he didn't want to settle for good enough anymore and that instead he should pursue his dreams.
Of course, a lot of hard work has gone in to growing his online presence but Michael knows that he wouldn't be doing it if he'd still been drinking alcohol - and now new opportunities are presented to him nearly every day.
If you're doing Dry January, then this episode might just convince you to see if you can go for a bit longer... Who knows how your life could change if you just take it one day at a time?!
