It was the year 2000, out of 4000 entrants, just two finalists were selcted in the finals for The Coolest Job In The World, to travel the world and host TV shows for ESPN. Jules Lund and Maz Compton. The final two. Guess who got the job.... JULES LUND! It would be another 4 years until Maz got her big break on TV and by then Jules was hosting Getaway and really smashing his career goals. It would appear though, that both Maz & Jules had another thing in common, which until today they haven't spoken about, and that's a problematic relationship with alcohol.Jules opens up about his sobreity for the first time, and Maz managed to not make one joke about Jules hosting Hole In The Wall! This pair of TV and radio gems sit down and get personal about alcohol, the industry and what sobreity means to each of them. Jules is super honest about the boundaries he put around his drinking over the years until finally calling Last Drinks, how sustainable his sobriety is and what he might do after a year booze-free. Jules hosts a drive time show Start-Up Nation on Disrupt Radio, you can tune in here https://www.disrupt.radio/programs/startup-nationReach out to Jules on IG if you would like to feature on his show @juleslund
