Hero On A Monday, Zero On A Thursday!

For years, I thought I was showing up at my best on a Monday.Looking back, I wasn't even close.Like so many people, I was caught in a cycle of drinking, recovering, surviving, and calling it normal. I had no idea just how much alcohol was quietly stealing from me, not just my health, but my energy, ambition, focus, relationships, and productivity.In this episode, I explore why I believe alcohol is the world's biggest productivity killer, how it quietly puts a lid on our potential, and why removing it gives you an unfair advantage in every area of life.I also share the story of how going alcohol-free became one of the biggest competitive advantages in my own business, helping us break into one of the toughest industries imaginable.If you've ever wondered what life could look like if you consistently showed up as your best self, this episode is for you.What You'll Learn:Why alcohol quietly robs us of productivity, ambition, and momentumHow the "Hero on Monday, Zero on Thursday" cycle keeps people underperformingThe competitive advantage of living and working alcohol-freeWhy workplace drinking culture costs businesses billions every yearHow removing alcohol unlocks your true potential at work and at homeTimestamps:00:00 – 04:00 Why alcohol is the world's biggest productivity killer04:00 – 09:00 The hidden cycle of underperformance most people never see09:00 – 13:00 How going alcohol-free transformed my business career13:00 – 19:00 The real cost of workplace drinking culture19:00 – End Why alcohol-free living is the ultimate productivity hackGoing Dry Documentary PremiereJoin us for the first public screening of Going Dry at the Melbourne Documentary Film Festival on 8th July 2026 at Cinema Nova, Melbourne.
