Hey folks, this is Abel James, and thanks so much for joining us on the show.

Do you ever feel like you're losing your edge?

Today we're here with my friend James Swanwick, creator of alcohol-free lifestyle,

a movement guiding high achievers like you to sidestep the sauce.

In this episode, we're exploring James' journey from rock bottom, hung over in the

and regret, to 15 years alcohol-free and counting. Whether you're an entrepreneur grinding

This episode is going to light you up.
