From beer for breakfast and wine for lunch to running crazy ultra marathons, living between Bali and London and training men to be high achieving males. It's all possible and coming up in todays show!

In this powerful episode, Ali shares his deeply personal journey—from struggling with alcohol addiction to transforming into a disciplined, high-performing man. He opens up about the challenges of balancing a high-stress life, the turning point that led him to quit drinking, and how he rebuilt himself without relying on AA, rehab, or therapy.

Today, Ali helps high-achieving men break free from alcohol and step into their full potential.

What We Cover:

🔹 Recognizing when alcohol is controlling your life
🔹 The emotional toll of guilt and shame—and how to rise above it
🔹 Why most men wait until they hit rock bottom before making a change
🔹 The shift from willpower-based sobriety to an identity-driven transformation

"The real struggle for men isn’t just alcohol—it’s the default state of guilt and shame. To truly step into our purpose, we need to rise above that."

Ali's story began with a desire to fit in. He became the class clown, then the funny guy, then the life of the party—until alcohol became a crutch for every emotion. Fun meant drinking. Coping meant drinking. Eventually, every high and low was tied to alcohol.

Now, through his one-of-a-kind Sobriety Acceleration Program, Ali helps men make a lasting shift—from quitting alcohol to completely redefining their identity.

This episode is for you if:
✅ You use alcohol to deal with stress or emotions
✅ You feel like you’re losing your authentic self
✅ You’re tired of the cycle of guilt, shame, and hangovers
✅ You know it’s time to make a change

If you’re ready to break free, listen in. You don’t have to hit rock bottom to start your transformation—help is here.
