🎙️ Welcome to a new episode of the Dad Up Podcast!
🟫 90% Of Men Are Metabolically Broken | Clifford Stephan & Bryan Ward | Ep. 319
👉 Today’s guest is Clifford Stephan, Founder and Chief Vacation Officer of Booze Vacation, a movement helping men rethink their relationship with alcohol, reclaim their health, and unlock elite levels of energy and clarity.
👉 By his mid-40s, Clifford realized his “normal” drinking habits were quietly steering him toward more doctors, more prescriptions, and a future of declining performance.
👉 Instead of accepting mediocrity, he took a bold step: a full year off from alcohol, a reset he called his booze vacation.
👉 That one decision changed everything, his health, his mindset, and his mission.
👉 Now, Clifford helps men step away from destructive patterns, rewrite their habits, and show up stronger for their families, careers, and long-term legacy.
👉 He’s also the founder of OneCompensation, holds a degree in Nutritional Science from Cal Poly SLO, and has completed over a dozen long-course triathlons.
👉 Clifford is a powerhouse of discipline, self-awareness, and longevity, committed to kicking ass well into his 80s and helping other men do the same.
👉 This is an episode every dad needs to hear, especially if you’ve ever felt the quiet pull of unhealthy habits interfering with your purpose, performance, or family leadership.
👉 Let’s jump into this powerful conversation with Clifford Stephan.
