The conversation in this episode is about the fitness industry's all-or-nothing mentality and how it relates to alcohol. Andy shares about how he started drinking at 13 in order to fit in and how that led to a problematic relationship with alcohol. He explains how it felt like an elixir to fit in and how society's marketing and adults in their life made it seem like a great thing.After getting injured at 20, he fell into the world of the stock market and without competitive sports in his life, he felt that alcohol was his go-to for settling social anxiety. This connection between social settings and drinking stayed strong throughout his life. This conversation is about the influence of social environments on drinking habits. Andy explains how he found himself in a very social drinking environment when it came to  entertaining clients, as well as spending time with friends and family. Though it was not excessive compared to his peers, it was still too much to lead a limitless life as he does today.

He emphasizes that what many people consider normal or moderate behavior is far from acceptable in terms of alcohol consumption. He explains that his story is important and should be heard by the 70% of the adult population who are in the middle lane of drinking, which means sometimes drinking moderately, sometimes heavily, and sometimes not at all.You are going to love this episode!

HIGHLIGHTS

And so for me, I want my kids to be around an environment where they have to really go the extra mile to make that conscious choice where the choice becomes so conscious and it's not accidental.

The alcohol-free revolution is now you are gonna look like you are miles ahead of the game, even now miles ahead of the game by introducing this into your coaching, into your training.

If you are interested in, in performance and wellness, for me, foundationally a break from alcohol's gotta live in that package, hasn't it? It's gotta be in there with your meditations and your ice baths and your exercise and your nutrition.

You want the, the best performance, you wanna get the best results and, and this is the secret sauce for any of the trends listening. All of your clients will get better results.

In terms of the training side, I think if you can live and breathe that message, and again, it has to be part of your story, but if it is part of your story, live and breathe that message and see the results that you get and talk about the consistency that you now have, I think is a great place to start.
