David Boyle is back with his unique brand of humour and raw honesty in this episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol'. As he approaches the milestone of 4 years and 272 days sober, David shares the chaotic journey of setting up his new project, the DeGenny Diaries. With a mix of technical mishaps and last-minute fixes, he hilariously recounts his struggles with video streaming setups and his newfound appreciation for modern technology.
From filming mishaps to the ease of using his phone as a webcam, David's anecdotes are both relatable and entertaining. David also touches on the broader theme of personal growth and the challenges of staying committed to new projects. He reflects on the importance of starting something you genuinely enjoy, rather than being trapped by 'golden handcuffs'—a metaphor for being stuck in a job you dislike just because it pays well.
This episode is not just about the technicalities of setting up a video diary but also about the broader journey of self-improvement and the hurdles along the way. You'll laugh at his colourful language and unfiltered storytelling, but you'll also find moments of wisdom and self-reflection. David's candidness about his fears and frustrations, whether it's dealing with elevated work platforms or balancing his son's coding camp with jiu-jitsu, makes this episode both humorous and heartfelt.
Don't miss out on this episode if you're looking for a blend of comedy, real-life struggles, and a touch of inspiration. David's journey is a testament to the ups and downs of sobriety and the relentless pursuit of personal betterment.
