Ian Fee was immersed in a culture that celebrated excessive drinking from an early age. He had his first sip of alcohol as a toddler, was a bartender at 13, and attributed his business success to martini lunches and wining and dining his clients. Yet he found the courage and determination to make a conscious choice to embrace sobriety without sacrificing the enjoyment of life. Ian is a successful author, entrepreneur, and the creator of Make It Great (MIG).
