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.

This week, on The Alcohol-Free Advantage Podcast, the man behind the Instagram handle, ‘Dapper Laughs,’ Daniel O’Reilly joins me for one of the most frank and honest chats I have had so far. 

This episode is JAM PACKED with useful, actionable advice - get your pen and paper at the ready! 

Daniel is a busy man! An Entrepreneur, Comedian (currently on a Sell out tour,) Film-maker, Podcast host, mental health advocate, charity founder and a loving husband and father of 3 beautiful girls. I am so grateful he found some time to come and chat to us about his own experience of removing alcohol, what that meant for his ‘brand’ (that was built around drink and drug taking,) what he has and continues to discover about himself and the key advantages that he has noticed in his life. 

Daniel brings his honest, passionate self to this chat, sharing the highs and lows (and everything in between) he has experienced since removing alcohol.

Daniel speaks with real passion about his personal transformation and is the ultimate example of the ‘Limitless pill effect’ and how much removing alcohol can skyrocket our potential! 

Join us for this conversation packed full of actionable insights, where we chat about: -

• Stumbling into Sobriety.
• Supporting Men with their Mental Health.
• The cultural norms around drinking and drugs, through teenage years.
• ADHD: How this impacts the effect of alcohol and drugs.
• Resilience: How we develop it and the positive effects.
• Relapse: How we become consciously aware of our thoughts.
• Does change come at the stage of ACTION or CONTEMPLATION?
• Boundaries: Learning how to put ourselves first.
• Accountability: Finding your tribe, your support, your community. 

I left this conversation blown away by how much Daniel has learnt about himself since going Alcohol free. His enthusiasm for living a full, happy life is tangible and infectious! 

My biggest takeaway from this chat was just how much more productive, efficient and successful we become across all areas of our lives, when we remove alcohol!
