Carl Radke Just Announced a Meaningful New Career Venture: "I Want to Continue to Be an Advocate"
The Summer House cast member hopes to inspire "personal growth and transformation" with his new company.
On Season 8 of Summer House, Carl Radke shared updates about his career ventures after leaving Kyle Cooke's beverage company, Loverboy. Although Carl has returned to Loverboy on a part-time basis to work on the company's non-alcoholic beverages, he also has another new project up his sleeve.
"Last year I started working on building my own little consulting and media company called Radke Boys," Carl shared in the caption of a March 12 Instagram post. "The idea I had was to honor my brother and continue to carry on his legacy of wanting to help people but also have a place for my professional passions in business, public speaking, film, and wellness."

Further in his Instagram caption, Carl explained that his goal with the company is to "offer help through my experiences, encouraging open dialogue about sobriety and mental health, and to be an inspiration for personal growth and transformation."
He added he was "choosing to recover out loud to help people in silence," noting that the website is intended to become a resource to "help jumpstart" people who want to make a change in their lives,
He concluded: "I have some info about charities I support, investments, and future projects coming. This is a work in progress but wanted to share!"

In an exclusive interview with The Daily Dish, Carl opened up about the media company and website, noting it would be "a placeholder for resources."
"I want to continue to be an advocate," he stated in the February interview. "The most asked question I get asked on Instagram and social media is, 'How did you get sober?' I put together 10 kind of steps of what I did and I’ll message that back to people on Instagram, but I want somewhere where people can just go and on their own find different resources, articles, and things that I’ve done."
Carl added of the project: "I’m not a doctor or therapist, I’m just as flawed as anybody else, but I’ve learned some things that have worked for me an if I can share that to help someone else, that’s what it’s all about...I'm excited about that."
What does Carl Radke do for a living?
In addition to his new website and work on Loverboy's non-alcoholic beverages, Carl has been doing speaking engagements as well as working on his film career. "I’m a producer. I’m behind the scenes. I love connecting ideas, I love bringing money together," he told The Daily Dish in February. "The film I’m [currently] a part of is called A Love Like This. It’s going to be coming out in June."

When Carl appeared on the March 14 episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, he addressed the conversations he has had with Lindsay Hubbard about his career on Season 8 of Summer House. "Do you feel like your search to find yourself and your new career impacted your relationship?" Andy asked.
"I mean, I think career and finances are always a big part of relationship dynamics," Carl responded. "For me, yeah, I was in kind of a transitionary point. You know, I'm in a position now where I am going after those things that she was concerned about...I got a lot going on for me right now with my career, so I'm pretty excited about that."
