He emphasizes that recovery spaces should be welcoming to everyone, regardless of their past experiences with addiction. By creating an inclusive environment, 'Let's Go Do Sh!t' attracts a diverse group of individuals, all united by a common goal: to enjoy life and support one another in their sober journey. Listeners are encouraged to join the private Facebook group 'Let's Go Do Sh!t', where they can interact with others, participate in events, and maintain anonymity.
