Robbie Bent is the co-founder of Othership, a movement and space redefining social connection, emotional wellness, and what it means to feel fully alive—without alcohol. From garage-built ice baths to multimillion-dollar retreats, Robbie's journey from addiction to impact is as raw as it is inspiring.

In this deeply personal episode, we unpack his wild transformation, why emotional processing is the next wave in wellness, and how Othership became a cultural movement at the edge of health, sobriety, and human connection.

Expect to learn:

• Why sobriety was the launchpad for Robbie’s personal rebirth and Othership’s creation

• The real science behind sauna, ice baths, and emotional regulation

• Why emotional fitness may be the most important habit of the next decade

• How Othership is becoming the modern-day wellness “third space”—like the coffee shop, but healing

• The $2 million risk that changed everything—and how Robbie almost lost it all

• What wellness looks like in 2030, and how cities can become places of deep connection
