When personal transformation meets entrepreneurial vision, remarkable things happen. Josh Case, CEO and co-founder of SoberBuzz, exemplifies this powerful combination as he channels his business scaling expertise into building a global recovery community that's changing lives daily.
Fresh from rehab and newly sober since July 2024, Josh and his wife Heidi transformed their recovery journey into a platform that resonates with authenticity. "We're real, raw and authentic," Josh explains, describing how sharing their most vulnerable stories has connected them with followers across 43 countries. What began as a personal hobby has exploded into a community of 90,000 followers across social platforms, supported by two podcasts that tackle the messy reality of recovery.
Josh brings unique credibility to scaling mission-driven organizations. Before SoberBuzz, he built and sold multiple energy companies, including deals with global powerhouses like EDF and Engie. The transition from solo founder to team leader taught him crucial lessons about letting go. "I had to learn to keep my fingers out of things and let the people that know more than me do things," he shares candidly. This evolution in leadership style—learning to trust specialists while maintaining the company vision—mirrors the growth journey many founders face.
Perhaps most valuable is Josh's insight into navigating conflict during high-stakes moments. When a major deal nearly collapsed due to partnership disagreement, outside mediators helped restore communication and save the transaction. This experience highlights the importance of conflict resolution mechanisms in any business relationship.
As SoberBuzz continues its remarkable growth trajectory, Josh plans to transform passion into sustainable impact through sponsorships and advertising.
