Donovan was born and raised in the deep South. In the South, you have rednecks, religion, sports, and big trucks. Donovan isn’t and doesn’t relate to any of those things. His background is in technology, and he likes to think of himself as the enemy of ignorance and stupidity. Recently, he decided to get sober… for good. This means much of Call Me Donovan (formerly DDP) will be him discussing that continuous journey with all the ups and downs that go along with it. <br/><br/><a href="https://callmedonovan.substack.com?utm_medium=podcast">callmedonovan.substack.com</a>

Why I'm Glad I Don't Drink in 2026
<p>For episode 81, I talk about approaching my three-year anniversary of “alcohol retirement” and how proud I am that this is the longest I’ve ever gone without drinking. I reflect on the many times in my life that I swore off alcohol, only to convince myself I could handle it differently, and I share a couple of embarrassing and dangerous stories from my drinking years—including drunkenly peeing in a closet and once passing out and hitting my head in my office. I discuss how, even though the end of 2025 and beginning of 2026 have been rough professionally as I face losing a major client, I’m grateful I’m facing it sober rather than making things worse by drinking. I talk about missing the taste and romanticized idea of alcohol, but not the chaos and damage that came with it, and how being sober has improved my health, my outlook, and my ability to weather difficult times. I close by encouraging anyone on a similar journey to reach out, because while I may not have used a formal support group, maybe this podcast—and the people listening—have become mine.</p> <br/><br/>Get full access to Call Me Donovan at <a href="https://callmedonovan.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_4">callmedonovan.substack.com/subscribe</a>

The Price of Loyalty
In this episode, recorded on March 11, I’m grappling with a stinging realization about the nature of business and personal loyalty. After a decade of bending over backwards to provide the very best service for a long-term client, I found out yesterday that I’m being “rewarded” by losing them as a client. I dive deep […] <br/><br/>Get full access to Call Me Donovan at <a href="https://callmedonovan.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_4">callmedonovan.substack.com/subscribe</a>

Is the Juice Worth the Squeeze?
Hey, it’s Donovan.<br /><br />Today’s episode is a bit raw — a snapshot of where my head’s been lately. I talk about hitting 928 days sober, but still fighting the noise in my own brain — that restless, scatterbrained feeling that makes me start too many projects and finish too few. Between running my IT business, juggling podcasts, and keeping Radio Tift on life support, I’ve realized I’m stretched way too thin. I used to have this green coffee mug that said Simplify on it, and lately that word’s been haunting me. I love the creative stuff — South Geek News, The Morning Drip, Agenda Fluid — but I’m starting to wonder if the juice is worth the squeeze. I’m tired. I’m not unhappy because of one thing, but because everything feels like too much. The holidays aren’t helping either. I still love my family, my friends, the work — but the tank’s empty. I’m trying to figure out how to refill it without going back to the bottle. If you’ve ever been there — spread too thin, trying to hold it all together — maybe this one’s for you.<br /><br /><br /><br />Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/call-me-donovan--6578547/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/call-me-donovan--6578547/support</a>.<br /><br /><b>Contact</b><br /><br />Twitter/Insta/Threads: donadkisson<br />Blue Sky: <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/callmedonovan.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://bsky.app/profile/callmedonovan.com</a><br />Voicemail: <a href="https://callmedonovan.com/voicemail" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://callmedonovan.com/voicemail</a><br />Email: don@callmedonovan.com<br /><br />Podcast theme music by <a href="https://transistor.fm/?via=music" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Transistor.fm</a>.
