Journey to the Sunnyside

In this episode, I sit down with Billy Grady, co-founder and CEO of Kava Haven, one of the fastest-growing alcohol alternatives in the country. We break down what kava actually is, how it’s been used for thousands of years, and why more people are turning to it as a way to relax, socialize, and mark the end of the day without alcohol. Billy shares how a personal health experiment turned into a brand now carried in over 1,000 retailers and bars nationwide, clears up common misconceptions around liver health and addiction, and explains what kava really feels like compared to alcohol or cannabis. If you’re curious about drinking less but still want something that helps you unwind, this conversation gives you a clear, grounded look at whether kava might fit into your life.
