Mornings in the Lab · Interview transcript

thinks bonkers is a legitimate marketing strategy. If you find yourself spiraling into the same pattern no matter how many times you promise you will change, this conversation is for you. It happens to the best of us. Stress hits, you're tired, and you reach for whatever shuts your brain off for a few moments. Then morning comes and you're back cleaning up the mess and wondering why it keeps happening. Some people don't just talk about that loop. They build their entire life around breaking it. That's Clayton Townsend, a roofer, mental health advocate, and content creator doing the work in real time. He's proudly three years sober and helps men the hearts and minds of people facing addictions. In the last year, he has helped 10 plus people get their proverbial second chance by sponsoring their treatment. And he did it with his own money. No sponsors, no investors, no big organization behind it. Clayton also runs a content and marketing business focused on short form videos. He's also proving something in business. You don't need a huge budget to make short form videos that get people to pay attention. Now, here's building something new called Sober Stay, a mobile app designed to support people through the tough moments. He also has a different take on content. You don't need to copy trends, mate. You need an idea that makes people stop scrolling. But the reason he does all of it, he wants addiction and mental health to be easier to talk about for everyone. And it's fueled by his core belief to never give up before the miracle happens. Clayton, welcome to Mornings in the Lab.
