If you want to know more about training with me, or watch the free workshop on coaching please go to www.andyramagetraining.com This week, on The Alcohol-Free Advantage Podcast, a life story to blow your Christmas socks off! By a man, aptly named Klaus! Klaus Neilsen lives in London as an Executive Coach and Public speaker - nothing too extraordinary about that, you say! …. Until you hear how he got here! From cyber hacking (one of the worlds largest and most secure systems), to Techno Dj’ing across Europe, to becoming a gaming creator for international tech companies, to packing his bags and heading to India to live and study as a MONK for 8 years - Klaus’s story is arguably stranger than fiction! Fast forward 8 years, Klaus headed to Europe to share his spiritual teachings - but discovered that something was blocking him from reaching his true spiritual potential - alcohol. Klaus was left feeling disillusioned and lost, constantly seeking distraction from his life and using Drink and Drugs to escape himself. The decision he made next was to change his world and his Spirit, forever. I am thrilled that Klaus found some time to talk to us. Since removing alcohol, I have found myself asking some of the ‘bigger questions’ about life - ‘What's the meaning of life? How do we change? How do we begin to explore our own spirituality? How do we find our sense of purpose?’ Klaus helps us to unpick these questions and links them directly to his own experience of removing alcohol coupled with his knowledge of ancient Vedic teachings. Join us for this conversation packed full of ‘light-bulb’ moments, where we chat about: - The BIG questions around Spirituality How to reverse the habit of ‘seeking distraction’ Higher Quality Happiness - How to tap into it The illusion of fun and what authentic joy feels like How our ‘false Ego’s’ can hold us back and how to ‘drop the ball!’ The starting blocks for change - What do they look like? My biggest takeaway from this conversation is that to optimise our lives in all areas, including spirituality, we must find and live in alignment with our true sense of purpose.…

Have you ever experienced a lack of motivation? Have you ever struggled to stay motivated when moving towards a goal? If this sounds like you read on… On today's mid-week momentum podcast, I cover five motivational traps you must avoid to make lasting changes in your life, from quitting alcohol to starting an exercise routine. You will also discover how I made my singing debut at the Royal Albert Hall !! Here are two motivational traps to warm you up, you will find the rest on the podcast (See below for links) 1. Why can’t I find a big enough ‘why’? I get the ‘why’ idea. But it’s been totally miss-sold. Finding a big enough ‘why’ that will unlock endless motivation is a 10,000/1 shot that, for the vast majority, never comes in. The conventional ‘why’ wisdom, lures us in to read the books, embrace the one superpower ‘why’ dream and then when we run out of motivation a few months, weeks or days later - we are left confused - why? Because in the real world, brainstorming your ‘why’s’ is a great way to generate motivation to get started towards your goals, but it’s not enough to keep you showing up. Caveat - I fully accept that if you are one of the very lucky few to latch onto a super-powered ‘why’ it can fuel endless motivation. So I agree with Nietzsche, the great German philosopher when we said, “He who has a why to live can bear almost any how” But for everyone else, the ‘why’ dream is a massive long shot. So for everyone who can’t find the one ‘why’, which is most of the planet - we need a different type of motivation, which I’ll cover in the next common mistake. 2. Motivation changes over time When you listen to people talk about their goals before they take any action, you will hear lots of nice shiny ‘why’s’ such as: I am doing it to make my family proud, to raise money, because I should get healthy… But if you listen to how successful people talk during their challenges, the conversation changes. A successful changer's motivational time frame is often different. It’s no longer about abstract or future-dated why’s or why they should; it’s about motivational wins in the moment. They have figured out the secret - the motivation to keep showing up is different from the motivation you need to get started. I talk a lot Why’s are not enough Let’s take the classic goal that so many of us struggle with - physical movement. Think of someone you know who is uber-fit, healthy and moves their body every day. If you ask them why they exercise, they will not answer with traditional why’s such as to make my family proud, or because the doctor told me, or because I should… No, they will tell you something different. They will wax lyrical about the wins during the goal task itself: “I run because I love the feeling of moving my body” “When I am swimming the world disappears, it’s like meditation for me” “Walking and talking with my friends is the best part of my day; movement and connection is bliss.” Therefore, the secret to limitless motivation is to focus on the wins of the goal activity! For the next three motivational traps to avoid tun into the podcast! Your coach Andy PS - Jan's diploma in coaching course is filling up!! If you want to transform your mind, body, and potentially career and go on a six-month learning adventure with me, then come with me and learn to coach. In January, I will personally train a small group in the art of life/executive/alcohol-free coaching so they, too, can unlock the meaning they seek by “giving back”.

This week, on The Alcohol-Free Advantage Podcast, join me for one of THE most important conversions I have EVER had! This chat is a gift for all of us! At just 26 , Damian Willemse is already a Rugby legend. The youngest man EVER to win two Rugby World Cups for his Country, South Africa and he is regularly achieving Multiple successes at club level, with his team The Stormers - Damian is flourishing at the very highest level!

On today's mid-week episode of the Alcohol-Free Advantage Podcast, I share five things I’ve learnt at 50 that I wish I had known at 30. I will start with a confession. When I share these insights I am really saying out loud what I need to work on. Therefore, my ideas are all work in progress rather than completed goals. The five lessons are as follows: You can’t do everything You have more time than you think Slow down to speed up Little and often wins the race The most important lesson Today, I wanted to focus on the most important lesson. During my 50th birthday dinner speech in Dublin, I wanted to share with my friends and loved ones the most important thing I had discovered about life. I recalled that over the last ten years, I had been fortunate to learn from some incredible people and study a great deal of literature and thinkers. From all this research, I have concluded that happiness, fulfilment, and meaning all revolve around the same thing. Therefore, if I could sum up this life thing with one thing, in the words of the Beatles, it would be this: “All you need is love.” *At this point in my speech, as I hoped they would, the whole group joined in to create a wonderful moment I will never forget: “da, da, da, da, daaaa’ “All you need is love, love, love is all you need.” **** For a deep dive into all 5 of the lessons I have learned at 50, I wish I had known at 30. Check out the podcast today! Your coach Andy PS - We are enrolling now!!!! If you want to transform your mind, body, and potentially career and go on a six-month learning adventure with me, then come with me and learn to coach.

This week, on The Alcohol-Free Advantage Podcast, we are joined by Hadley Sorensen, who wrote a book on the topic and is here to break down the facts! Hadley, a self confessed (ex) party girl, shares how she went from sipping Cosmos, to blackout weekend drinking to writing a book on the Truth and Transformation that alcohol had on her social life, before and after drinking! For Hadley, change didn’t require hitting rock bottom. One morning, she simply knew life had more to offer than the cycle of regular hangovers. In her journey to untangle the grip of alcohol, Hadley embraced self-discovery, redefining what socialising really means to her. By removing alcohol, she found clarity, authentic connection, and a renewed sense of purpose. Her book, The Dirty Truth on Social Drinking, offers a refreshingly relatable take on the joys of living and thriving sober. Hadley’s insights are a must-read for anyone curious about the limitless possibilities of an alcohol-free life. We chat about: - The fear of what will happen to our social lives, when we remove Alcohol! Fun without alcohol? Is it possible? How will it look? Social and cultural influences that push a ‘social narrative’ that alcohol is a key component to fun and connection. Friends - How can we make new friends if we are not out drinking? Smashing the ‘out of date’ belief, that living without alcohol is ‘boring!’ No rock bottom required! - How a limitless, authentic life is available to all of us! Uncovering our true selves - Living as an Introvert! I left this conversation buzzing with enthusiasm!. Hadley has a unique, straight forward way of laying out the limitless benefits of going Alcohol-free and is a brilliant example of how we begin to Thrive, explore and discover our authentic selves, when we remove just one thing! Comment below and let me know your thoughts about this chat and the topic of Socialising Sober - What does your Sober social life look like? What/if anything has changed? Where do you socialise? Have you made new friends since going alcohol-free? Tag someone who you think would like this episode or share it with someone who would benefit from discovering that our social lives just get going, when we remove alcohol! Let's Do this!
