This week, on The Alcohol-Free Advantage Podcast, Eric Paquette—28-time marathon runner, film producer, and devoted husband and father—shares how one bold decision transformed his life and unlocked his full potential.
From weekend wine with friends to crushing marathons and thriving at work, Eric was living what many would call a “high-performing” life. But a 20-minute slowdown at his 27th marathon revealed an undeniable truth: alcohol was holding him back.
Eric realized that something in his lifestyle wasn’t aligning with his drive for optimal performance. At that pivotal moment, he made the life-changing decision to remove alcohol—and hasn’t looked back since.
Join us for this energizing conversation, where we dive into:
- Why removing alcohol is the ultimate performance hack.
- How Eric went from “middle-lane drinker” to thriving at 100% clarity.
- Living life detached from outcomes while staying rooted in the present.
- Building community and creating a safe space for men to connect.
- Why parenting and leadership start with leading by example.
- The underrated power of gratitude to transform your mindset.
- What true success looks like (hint: it’s not the “next big thing”).
My biggest takeaway from this motivating chat…. “You want to have won the day before you start the day.” Waking up fresh, clear, and ready to tackle life—without the fog of alcohol—is the ultimate game-changer.
Let's do this!
