  Ever find yourself hustling hard, checking all the right boxes, and still feeling unfulfilled?

• Episode 287: 12 Travel Hacks I Swear By as a Nondrinker

  Forget the tired “vacation = cocktails” script. Travel can be so much more exhilarating, especially when you’re clear-headed, confident, and fully present. In this episode, I’m sharing my 12 favorite travel hacks that make exploring the world as a non-drinker absolutely liberating and so pampering.  As you probably know by now, culture is my lifeblood, and I travel a LOT. I love seeing the world, meeting new people, trying new food, and swimming in new waters.  Some of my travel hacks are beneficial no matter who you are (like how to lean into credit card benefits and breeze through airport security!) while others are especially good to know as a nondrinker (for example, learning how to ask for non-alcoholic drinks in the local language). I used to sit by the pool with a drink in hand, never leaving the resort. Now? I think of travel very differently, chasing adventures where I can be active and present, from hiking to snorkeling to exploring ancient ruins. These hacks will change the way you plan your next trip. Get ready to travel lighter, braver, and way more alive.   IN THIS EPISODE: How learning a few words in the local language opens up a vibrant world of alcohol-free drinks (mocktails, mineral water, juices, and more!) that you’d never spot on the menu Leveling up your jet-setting, from hacking credit card points for nearly free flights and resorts to breezing past airport lines  Planning trips around wellness, adventure, and self-care, and why ditching the drink helps you discover new cultural, physical, and foodie experiences The exact things I look for in Airbnbs and hotels (including hidden gems!), and how airport lounges, hydration, and supplements help me feel amazing on the road   LINKS/RESOURCES MENTIONED Check out Episode 229: Have the Best Alcohol-Free Summer Ever, Episode 188: Following Our Passions, Traveling the World, and How I’m Living the Life I Used to Dream Of, and Episode 135: Moving to Europe for the Summer - How I Made It Happen for more travel inspired episodes.

If you’re curious what really separates breakthrough performers from the rest, this episode is a must-listen. Will you be one of the leaders who chooses the alcohol-free edge?   IN THIS EPISODE: How James went from feeling “blah” and “mediocre” as a Hollywood journalist drinking nightly to an entrepreneur and ESPN anchor via a 30-day break from alcohol Eye-opening stories of high achievers James has worked with who went alcohol-free: one man saved a child’s life, another sailed the ocean for his late wife  The REAL cost of drinking for entrepreneurs: how “just one drink a night” can literally be draining you of hundreds of thousands of dollars in opportunities, focus, and legacy The “tidal wave” alcohol-free revolution we’re heading toward, led by Gen Z, from sunrise sober raves to new cancer warning labels Powerful people who don’t drink, from JLo to Warren Buffet, and reframing ditching alcohol as the gateway to fulfillment, peak performance, and genuine joy   LINKS/RESOURCES MENTIONED Read James Swanwick’s new book, CLEAR: The Only Neuroscience-Based Method for High Achievers to Quit Drinking Without Willpower, Rehab or AA.
