For most entrepreneurs, consuming alcohol is a normalized social ritual. From networking, entertaining clients, and celebrating successes to relaxing with our friends and family. But as you’ll hear from today’s guest, alcohol is really just “attractively packaged poison” for our bodies. Even one or two drinks a night can slowly erode productivity, focus, and decision-making, costing millions of dollars over an entrepreneur's lifetime.
James Swanwick knows this firsthand. A former ESPN SportsCenter anchor, James walked away from alcohol in 2010 and saw instant improvements that transformed his life, health, and career trajectory.
Today, he’s the founder of Project 90, a neuroscience-based coaching program with a 98% success rate in helping executives, entrepreneurs, and investors reduce or eliminate drinking in just 90 days. He’s also the author of Clear, a practical guide to quitting alcohol without AA, rehab, or willpower.
In this episode, you’ll hear the shocking financial and personal costs of drinking—even in moderation—and why going alcohol-free gives high performers and entrepreneurs an ‘unfair’ competitive advantage. James also shares the science behind alcohol’s impact on the brain and body, and how eliminating or significantly reducing alcohol from your life can multiply your clarity, relationships, and wealth.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
1.) Why having just one drink a day can quietly destroy your health, relationships, and wealth.
2.) The neuroscience-backed framework with a staggering 98% success rate that James uses in Project 90 to help entrepreneurs and executives eliminate alcohol and unlock peak performance.
3.) What James calls the “Lost Revenue Calculator” to demonstrate how much an entrepreneur who generates millions in revenue each year could benefit from an alcohol-free lifestyle.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
