In this episode, I sit down with Andy Ramage – a former professional athlete turned City broker who went on to co-create two multimillion-dollar businesses before walking away to reinvent his life. Andy’s transformation began when he realised his drinking was holding him back from his potential. He wasn’t addicted, but like so many of us, he was caught in that middle lane of drinking – fitting in with everyone around him, yet feeling the toll on his health, performance, and mental wellbeing.
Andy shares how a 28-day break from alcohol turned into an 11-year alcohol-free lifestyle that improved his consistency, mental clarity, and overall happiness. We explore the fears many people have about stopping – from worrying about social acceptance to believing alcohol is essential for fun – and how challenging those long-held beliefs can lead to real freedom.
We also delve into Andy’s career pivot, from the high-pressure world of broking to becoming a leading voice in the alcohol-free movement. Through his work co-founding One Year No Beer, writing bestselling books, training coaches, and now creating a documentary, Andy has helped over 100,000 people transform their relationship with alcohol.

This episode is about more than not drinking – it’s about designing a life you truly want, based on informed and mindful choices, and discovering that success, fun, and fulfilment don’t need to come from a bottle.
