What if those two or three drinks you have each week do more harm than you think? What if they’re affecting your sleep, your mood, your focus, and even your income?

In today’s episode, I sat down with James Swanwick to talk about what really happens when you remove alcohol from your life. James is the founder of Alcohol-Free Lifestyle and the author of Clear, a book based on ten years of research into how alcohol impacts high performers.

We looked at how drinking can affect every part of your life. James shared a four-part exercise that helps you evaluate how alcohol might be showing up in your health, wealth, relationships, and overall happiness. He explained how many business owners operate at 60 percent of their potential because of drinking and how removing it often leads to better decisions, more energy, and increased revenue.

We also explored what it means to choose an alcohol-free lifestyle. It’s not about being in recovery or saying no to something. It’s about choosing a different, better way to live.

Key Takeaways:

It’s not about quitting—it’s about choosing a lifestyle that works better for you.

Entrepreneurs who drink may be leaving up to 20% of their income on the table
Even small amounts of alcohol can have a big impact on your day-to-day life.

Resources:

James Swanwick is an entrepreneur, speaker, and founder of Alcohol-Free Lifestyle, a coaching program that helps high performers reduce or quit alcohol. He’s also the author of Clear, a neuroscience-based guide for breaking free from alcohol without relying on traditional recovery methods. James is known for helping people improve their sleep, focus, and performance by choosing a life without alcohol.
