The Alcohol-Free Lifestyle In this episode of Richer Soul, we explore the intersection of high performance, mental clarity, and living alcohol-free with James Swanwick — entrepreneur, investor, author, and former ESPN anchor. James shares his personal journey from journalism to broadcasting to launching a movement that empowers executives and business leaders to live their best lives without alcohol. His insights challenge cultural norms, offering a neuroscience-backed framework to help high achievers make better life decisions. Key Takeaways: Alcohol Doesn't Serve High Performers. James emphasizes that alcohol is often a socially accepted blocker to achieving clarity, focus, and true happiness. For those aiming for high performance, even moderate drinking can have a compounding negative impact on energy, sleep, and decision-making. The Power of Identity Change. Rather than "quitting" drinking, James reframed his identity to become someone who simply "doesn't drink." This subtle shift removes willpower from the equation and aligns behavior with self-image — a powerful concept for habit transformation in any area. Modeling Courageous Change from His Father. Witnessing his father leave a veterinary career to study law for ten years and ultimately find greater happiness gave James a blueprint for reinventing himself — from journalist to sports anchor to entrepreneur. Entrepreneurship as a Path to Freedom. Despite having a "dream job" at ESPN, James realized he was still tethered to corporate constraints. He used his off-days to build his entrepreneurial skillset and eventually stepped away from the camera to create something that aligned with his values and lifestyle. Money Learnings: James's early relationship with money was shaped by witnessing his father's struggles in business and later, his courageous career pivot. He internalized that financial success doesn't require suffering — a belief reinforced by building profitable businesses like Swanwick Sleep and Alcohol Free Lifestyle. He also warns that our environment and societal norms often reinforce habits (like drinking) that quietly drain both our wealth and vitality. About James Swanwick: James Swanwick is an Australian-American stop-drinking expert, author, entrepreneur, and former ESPN SportsCenter anchor. He is the founder of Alcohol Free Lifestyle, where he helps high performers break free from alcohol without relying on willpower, AA, or rehab. He also co-founded Swanwick Sleep, best known for its blue light-blocking glasses. His upcoming book, Clear: The Only Neuroscience-Based Method For High Achievers To Finally Break Free From Alcohol, launches April 8. Key Discussion Points: James's childhood experience with money and his father's career transformation. How working at ESPN was glamorous but limiting — and what pushed him to leave. The role of environment and community in perpetuating alcohol use. How James made the shift from drinker to non-drinker by focusing on identity. Why entrepreneurs and executives benefit from alcohol-free living. The neuroscience behind habit change and breaking free from social pressure. Tools and frameworks for reprogramming your brain and behavior. How to create a life that doesn't need alcohol to feel exciting or fulfilling. Conclusion: James Swanwick invites us to rethink our relationship with alcohol and identity. His story is a powerful example of intentional living — choosing paths aligned with values, optimizing mental and physical health, and rewriting the story society tells us about what's “normal.” If you're a high achiever seeking clarity, presence, and performance, James offers both the mindset and the method to take that next step.

On October 25, 2022, Henry Holt and Company published Hill's memoir, UPHILL: A Memoir. In this character-rich, unapologetically provocative memoir, Hill reveals her tumultuous childhood, complicated family dynamics, and her life-saving journey into journalism. Hill's 20-plus year journalism career has included stops at the biggest sports media network and several reputable newspapers. She originally joined ESPN in 2006 as a national columnist for espn.com. Her profile gradually rose as she began to make appearances on television, including SportsCenter, First Take, Around the Horn, The Sports Reporters and Outside the Lines. She also spent a season as a sideline reporter for ESPN college football games. Her foray into daily television began in 2013, when her and co-host Michael Smith began the daily, sports discussion show, His & Hers, which sprang from their popular podcast of the same name. In February 2017, Hill and Smith co-anchored the 6 p.m., SportsCenter, which debuted as a more personality-driven approach to the traditional SportsCenter. After her stint as SportsCenter host, Hill was a senior columnist for The Undefeated, ESPN's sub-site that focuses on the intersection of sports, race, culture and politics. In addition to breaking ground as a podcaster, Hill continued her celebrated television broadcasting career. In 2020, Hill and her longtime friend, former ESPN anchor Cari Champion, launched a weekly, late-night show on Vice Network called Cari & Jemele: Won't Stick to Sports. The show covered politics, sports, news, current events, and pop culture. Hill is also stretching her muscles behind the camera. She is executive producer of former NFL quarterback and civil rights activist Colin Kaepernick's documentary, which will air on ESPN and is directed by legendary filmmaker Spike Lee. She also is currently developing a comedy series with acclaimed actress Gabrielle Union.Uphill: A Memoirhttps://a.co/d/7qhPXO3One of Oprah Daily's Best Fall Nonfiction Books of 2022An empowering, unabashedly bold memoir by the Atlantic journalist and former ESPN SportsCenter coanchor about overcoming a legacy of pain and forging a new path, no matter how uphill life's battles might be.Jemele Hill's world came crashing down when she called President Trump a “white supremacist”; the White House wanted her fired from ESPN, and she was deluged with death threats. But Hill had faced tougher adversaries growing up in Detroit than a tweeting president. Beneath the exterior of one of the most recognizable journalists in America was a need―a calling―to break her family's cycle of intergenerational trauma.Born in the middle of a lively routine Friday night Monopoly game to a teen mother and a heroin-addicted father, Hill constantly adjusted to the harsh realities of not only her own childhood but the inherited generational pain of her mother and grandmother. Her escape was writing.Hill's mother was less than impressed with the brassy and bold free expression of her diary, but Hill never stopped discovering and amplifying her voice. Through hard work and a constant willingness to learn, Hill rose from newspaper reporter to columnist to new heights as the coanchor for ESPN's revered SportsCenter. Soon, she earned respect and support for her fearless opinions and unshakable confidence, as well as a reputation as a trusted journalist who speaks her mind with truth and conviction.In Jemele Hill's journey Uphill, she shares the whole story of her work, the women of her family, and her complicated relationship with God in an unapologetic, character-rich, and eloquent memoir.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/i-am-refocused-radio--2671113/support.

Unless you've been living under a rock, the demands made by those who embrace the transgender ideology are everywhere. Front and center over the last couple of years is the controversy surrounding whether or not biological men should be allowed to participate in girls and women's sports if they choose to identify as transgender. What the conversation needs from parents is a clear commitment to tell our kids the truth about gender and God's good design. Salvo Magazine reports on Sage Steele, a former ESPN Sportscenter co-host who was told by the network to keep her opinions on transgenderism in sport to herself. Steele says, “I was like, no. And let's stop living in this lie. I literally said, this is the hill I will die on one hundred percent because these are facts. This is science. Come at me. Tell me I'm wrong. Tell me to stop supporting women. Go ahead, tell me.” Steele's words remind us that God calls his followers to be strong and courageous with the truth!
The history of alcohol dates back at least 30,000 years and possibly even 100,000 years. Yet we're learning more and more about its effect on the human body, and some, like neuroscientist Andrew Huberman, have argued that even minimal amounts are unhealthy. We're going to explore the topic with our guest today. He is a coach, author, entrepreneur, and former ESPN SportsCenter anchor. He embarked on his own path to sobriety nearly 25 years ago and is dedicated to empowering others to reclaim control over their drinking habits and unlock their full potential.This is the Story of an Alcohol-Free Lifestyle with James Swanwick.EPISODE VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS▪ Watch the Entire Episode▪ Benefits of Sobriety for a Healthier Life▪ Is Alcohol Heading Down the Same Path as Tobacco? ▪ How the Media Lies About the Benefits of Alcohol▪ Project 90: How to Master Sobriety in 90 Days▪ Is Lifetime Alcohol Abstinence Necessary?▪ The Truth About Alcohol: Poison in Pretty Packaging▪ Transformation Stories of Alcohol-Free Living▪ Alcohol's Impact on the Corporate Bottom LineCONNECT WITH JAMES SWANWICK▪ Website - Alcohol-Free Lifestyle▪ Instagram▪ X (Twitter)▪ TikTok▪ Facebook▪ YouTube▪ LinkedIn▪ Podcast▪ Purchase the Book - The 30-Day No Alcohol ChallengeLEARN MORE ABOUT US▪ Visit our website to learn more about Innovative Medicine▪ Take our assessment and set up a free 20-minute consult to learn more about becoming a patient, or feel free to contact us▪ Follow Innovative Medicine on Instagram▪ Subscribe, watch, give us a like on YouTube▪ ‘Your Health.

[00:55] How James Swanwick Helps People Feel Better By Quitting Alcohol In 30 days of not drinking, James lost 13 pounds, slept better, looked better, and got a job on ESPN. After 30 days, James decided to stop drinking altogether; that was 12 years ago. Now that he doesn't drink, he has created a business to help people sleep better and to help people stop drinking. Even a seemingly innocent glass of alcohol each night has detrimental effects on your life. Any amount of alcohol each night is enough to cause brain damage. [07:10] Saying No To Peer Pressure and Alcohol Consumption The social pressure to drink is high. However, it is becoming lower. There is a worldwide movement of people becoming alcohol conscious. Millennials have never drunk less in their entire life. In fact, alcohol has a real image problem at the moment. Remember, 93% of all communication is body language. Go through life being open and relaxed; that way, people don't harass you to drink. [15:05] Do You Struggle With Instant Gratification? Get Rid of Temptations An alcohol buzz is a short-term pleasure. We should look at our life and make long-term choices. Long-term pleasure is so much more pleasurable and rewarding. We all have to sacrifice something; should we sacrifice short-term rewards for long-term enjoyment? James will sacrifice short-term pleasure for long-term gain. The choices that you made six years ago can pay off today. [19:20] Is It Possible To Drink Alcohol and Get A Good Night's Sleep? Any amount of alcohol close to bedtime is going to disrupt your sleep. When you're tired, you tend to seek out sugary foods to give yourself an energy spike. You are better off having alcohol for breakfast than at nighttime. That way, your body can work on getting rid of toxins during the day. There is a direct correlation between alcohol drinking and weight gain. Also, alcohol will destroy energy levels. [23:40] What A Lack of Sleep Is Doing To Your Body and Mind When you are tired, you are miserable. While on the other hand, when you sleep well, everything feels so much better. If you want to feel better, you need to put a premium on your sleep. Don't drink alcohol at night, don't eat before bedtime, and don't look at screens before bedtime. Sleeping above 69 degrees is compromising your sleep. When we have compromised sleep, we are not repairing and restoring. Putting a high focus and premium on optimizing your sleep is critical. [29:30] Ditch Artificial Light and Live By Candlelight During The Night Any artificial light at night compromises your sleep. Light will suppress your body's melatonin release. Blocking artificial light is imperative to ensure you have a good night's sleep. The best thing you can do at night is to live by candlelight. Flame does not suppress your body's melatonin production. [35:40] Why You Need Both Clear Lens Glasses and Orange Lens Glasses Clear lens blue light-blocking glasses will filter blue light and are recommended for daytime computer use. At nighttime, you should switch to orange lens blue light-blocking glasses to ensure you block all the blue light responsible for suppressing melatonin production. Orange lens glasses will help you sleep better for nighttime use. You need both daytime glasses and orange lens glasses. [39:25] Gratitude Changes Your Brain: Giving Thanks Can Make You Happier James will write down twenty things he is grateful for each morning. Science shows that living a life of appreciation instead of expectation will result in lower stress and anxiety levels. It can be challenging to think of 20 things each morning. However, you will realize how many things you must be grateful for. What you feed energy to will expand. AND MUCH MORE!

Are you curious about the benefits of reducing alcohol? Discover why we often feel pressured to drink socially. Also, explore the surprising negative effects even moderate drinking can have on our health, particularly our brain and sleep. Join Matt O'Neill as he interviews James Swanwick, a former Hollywood correspondent turned alcohol-free lifestyle coach. Enjoy a lighthearted moment as James shares his hilarious encounter with Bradley Cooper, as well as some amazing transformations he's seen in people who have reduced their drinking. Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation: Even moderate drinking destroys brain matter Social pressure to drink stems from ancient 'lizard brain' survival instinct Alcohol disrupts quality sleep and leaves you feeling foggy Removing visual alcohol cues and replacing with healthy cues aids reduction Stopping drinking allows more energy, money gains, and an enhanced experience of life [05:38] The Reason Behind the Societal Pressure to Drink James provides fascinating perspective on the existence of social pressure to drink. He explained that thousands of years ago, humans lived in small tribes, and being ostracized from the tribe essentially meant death. Our "lizard brain" still holds onto that ancient survival instinct of needing acceptance from the group. Even though logically we know it's not true today, on an unconscious level many feel social rejection if they don't drink with others. This helps explain the resistance people feel to stopping drinking, as it triggers fears of being kicked out of their "tribe." Understanding this biological root of social pressure can help people feel empowered to choose their own path free from unnecessary influence. [13:38] Even Moderate Drinking Destroys Your Brain Matter Even moderate drinking of just one standard drink per night can destroy gray and white brain matter. James discussed a 2022 study of 35,000 middle-aged adults that found those who consumed this seemingly low amount of alcohol weekly showed brain degeneration. This challenges the common perception that casual, weekly drinking is harmless. It highlights how any level of regular alcohol consumption can physically impact the brain over time. This finding shows everyone should be aware of the risks even moderate drinking poses to cognitive health. [18:50] The Benefits of an Alcohol-Free Lifestyle Living an alcohol-free lifestyle can lead to weight loss by reducing empty calorie intake and curbing cravings for sugary foods. It promotes clearer, more youthful-looking skin by preventing visible wrinkles and premature aging. By improving sleep quality, it increases energy levels, overall well-being, and allows for better focus and mental clarity. Moreover, abstaining from alcohol can enhance productivity and performance, potentially leading to higher income and wealth creation. Most importantly, it enables individuals to fully engage with and appreciate life's richness without the need for external substances.

Track 3️⃣- Seedling Feat. James SwanwickJoin us on P.S.A the Mental Health Podcast for the third installment of our enlightening series "Industry Plant," where we delve into the murky waters of mental health, self-improvement, and the often glossed-over relationship with alcohol. Our special guest is none other than the inimitable James Swanwick, an Australian-American entrepreneur, speaker, journalist, and sober-life advocate. A man of many hats, James has left an indelible mark in the realms of journalism, sports broadcasting, and entrepreneurship. His pivot from a casual drinker to an influential figure in the alcohol-free lifestyle movement demonstrates his inspiring commitment to personal transformation.In this episode, we draw on James's rich reservoir of experiences, his knowledge of the detrimental effects of alcohol on mental health, and his valuable insights into the journey of sobriety. Whether it's his journalistic journey with the News of the World, his stint as an ESPN SportsCenter anchor, or his high-profile celebrity interviews, every chapter of his life has infused him with wisdom that he now channels into helping people lead healthier lives.James's extensive resume includes the creation of Project 90, an online program aimed at aiding individuals in eliminating alcohol from their lives, and his authorship of the book "The 30-Day No-Alcohol Challenge." His dedication to promoting sleep hygiene led him to co-found Swanwick Sleep, a brand famous for its blue-light-blocking glasses, known as “Swannies.”We also invite James to share his journey of transformation, delving into his motivation for advocating an alcohol-free lifestyle. We examine terms like "transform," "addiction," and "sober" and explore how they connect to mental health.We discuss James's Hollywood correspondent tenure, gleaning insights from his encounters with celebrities, the influence of those interactions on his views of mental health, and wellness. We delve into the impact of alcohol on brain function, mental health disorders, and sleep quality. Izzy also has a candid conversation about Keke Palmer and the drama around her actions at the most recent Usher concert.Moreover, we explore the narrative of sobriety in a society that perpetuates drinking culture. What are the challenges of trying to quit alcohol, and how can they be navigated? James offers his expert opinion on this matter, combining scientific research with his firsthand experience.As we weave through these profound topics, we pause at 'The Weekly Sabbatical' at 50:24 to reflect upon our theme for this week – 'Seedling/Young Plant.' We draw parallels between the care, vulnerability, growth, and potential of seedlings and individuals embarking on their journey to sobriety.In the latter half of the episode, James gives us a glimpse into his early journalistic career, discusses his Project 90, and delves into the mission and stories covered in his "Alcohol-Free Lifestyle Podcast." The conversation then shifts to being sober in social settings, the challenges it brings, and effective ways to maintain sobriety.As the conversation concludes, we dive into why an alcohol cleanse might be an ideal undertaking for young millennials, particularly men. We address emotional expression and how society's emotional rhetoric needs a significant overhaul.Join us on this transformative journey, shedding light on a realm that is so often dimmed by societal norms and pressures.For all your writing needs, Grant Writing Homework Assistance, Resumes, Cover Letters, Templates, Media Kits, Product and Profile Descriptions, and more, please visit psathepodcast.com James Swanwick's Social Media Instagram: @jamesswanwickTik Tok: jamesswanwick

“ESPN SportsCenter just led tonight's episode with 2 stories on women's college basketball. The first 6 minutes, a regular season Big Ten and SEC game. Who is paying for this? What percentage of sports fans does this serve?” This simple tweet from Jason questioning an ESPN programming decision triggered a desperate Deadspin writer to call Jason “cartoonishly misogynistic” and “a dark soul” — but it led to a great conversation about the four-letter network super-serving women as a form of reparation for centuries of men "mistreating" women. Pastor Anthony Walker, Dave Shannon, and Shemeka Michelle weigh in on the debate. ESPN was also guilty of piling on Tony Dungy for the audacity of being a Christian who lives his faith. Pastor Anthony, Delano Squires, and Promise Keepers' Ken Harrison tackle the question: Why are Christians reluctant to publicly defend Tony Dungy? Plus, Shemeka Michelle tries to make sense of the banning of Aretha Franklin, Erykah Badu sharing her daughter's “assets” on Instagram, and a self-proclaimed “superstar" and her vulgar airplane tirade.
