What if your next drink is quietly costing you $684?

Could quitting alcohol be the simplest, most underrated high-performance move of your life?

You don’t have to hit rock bottom to be sabotaging your potential… just pour another “harmless” drink.

In this “Success for the Athletic-Minded Man” episode, I sit down with James Swanwick, former ESPN anchor turned founder of Alcohol-Free Lifestyle, who exposes a truth that most high achievers don’t want to hear: even moderate drinking might be the very thing keeping you from peak performance.

From that moment at IHOP to building a 7-figure business and landing a dream job at ESPN (with zero TV experience), James walks us through how ditching alcohol became his ultimate unfair advantage.

We unpack the neuroscience of alcohol, the social lies we believe about “bonding” and celebration, and how most men are paying a massive cost— in energy, focus, and money— without even realizing it.

You’ll also hear how one beer could be costing you $684 a night, and what you can do about it starting today.

Think you’re performing at your best? You might just be drinking your edge away.

This is another important conversation you don’t wanna miss, so hit that play button now and share this with someone who’s ready to stop settling for average and start performing at their full potential.

Rapid change isn’t magic— it’s a system. Here are the 9 ways to make it work…

Reading more books or listening to more podcasts won’t change your life. But this 9-step framework will… and fast.

In this episode of the “Success for the Athletic-Minded Man” podcast, I reveal the real reason why some people stay stuck— despite discipline, drive, and doing “all the right things.”

We’re going to talk about the 9-step rapid change framework I’ve used to help hundreds of men go from frustrated to fulfilled in a matter of weeks.

This isn’t theory. It’s the same system my clients (they’re called Pathfinders) are using to drop weight, reconnect with their families, and finally get momentum in their careers.

I’ll walk you step-by-step through the exact process: from getting clear on your “why” to building real accountability, feedback loops, and daily habits that actually stick.

If you’re done feeling like you’re “almost” there, this is the episode that closes that gap.

You don’t need more podcasts to listen to or more books to read to create real, rapid change in your life. You need a system. And it starts here. Tune in now!

You’ll never outperform the man you believe you are. Anthony Trucks breaks down the real reason why you're stuck.

What if the biggest reason you're stuck… is you?

In this “Success for the Athletic-Minded Man” episode with former NFL player turned transformation expert Anthony Trucks, we unpack how identity— not tactics— is the true lever of transformation, and why success without self-worth is a dangerous trap most high-achieving men fall into.

Anthony shares how he hit rock bottom— divorced, broke, hungover in a condo— and how a single realization gave him back his power: “I was the common denominator in all of my problems.”

From there, he built his comeback on what he calls “Dark Work,” the unseen grind that forges real, lasting change.

If you’re a former athlete, a high-performer, or just a man who knows there’s another level inside of you, but keeps hitting a wall, this episode is for you.

We also talk about performance psychology, discipline, and the difference between chasing praise vs. earning pride.

This is a masterclass on doing the gritty and powerful work that changes who you are, so you can finally create the life you say you want. Tune in now!
