Die With Zero - How To Stop Sabotaging Your Best Experiences: James Swanwick

from Alcohol-Free Lifestyle

📺 Watch & Subscribe on YouTube Bill Perkins wrote a book called Die With Zero. The idea is simple: stop deferring your best experiences until you're "ready." Stop hoarding life. Spend it now - on memories, on presence, on the people who matter - because your ability to enjoy experiences declines long before your bank account does. It's a great book. But Perkins missed something. He never talked about the thing that's quietly stealing your capacity to experience anything fully. In this episode, I'm connecting Die With Zero to the one decision that changed everything for me - quitting alcohol on March 11, 2010. I'll show you exactly how alcohol isn't just a health problem. It's an experience problem. A memory problem. A presence problem. I'll share what happened when I brought my 81-year-old father to an AFL event in Atlanta and watched him go quiet watching a room full of transformed high achievers. I'll tell you about my daughter Isabella - six months old - and why the drinking version of me wouldn't be fully in the room with her. And I'll give you five questions to audit your own life through the lens of Die With Zero. If you've been deferring your best self until things "calm down" - this episode is for you.   Text Kai at +1 361 321 7764 to find out what 90 alcohol-free days could open up for you.
