Andy is a former professional footballer who went on to co-found two commodities brokerage franchises, before walking away to devote his life to inspiring others to transform their life and career performance by taking a break from alcohol.
There was no rock bottom. Andy was a middle-lane drinker who suspected alcohol was holding him back. He was right. It was.
It felt as though it had unlocked a superpower, and he has devoted his life ever since to inspiring others to join him on the fun side of the island, as he likes to call it.
Andy co-founded one of the world's largest alcohol-free challenge platforms, reaching over a million people. He is the creator of The Willpower Free Method® To Quit Alcohol Quickly, and over the last decade the initiatives he has launched using the Method have impacted millions of lives. He holds a Master's degree in Coaching and Positive Psychology, awarded with distinction, and is regarded as one of the world's leading coaches.
To magnify the impact, and after a decade of coaching success, he founded the Coach Business School, which turns novices into world-class life and executive coaches through its coach accreditations. The School also delivers Andy's Alcohol-Free Performance Coach™ accreditation for new and qualified coaches.
He took that break over a decade ago in search of optimal performance, not because anything had gone wrong.
Andy became one of the first to focus his energy on inspiring the middle-lane, or average, drinker to take a break. He pioneered the alcohol-free movement and coined the term middle-lane drinker, leading many experts to call him the Godfather of alcohol-free.
Andy is a best-selling author, and a new book follows in 2027. He is also film-maker, producer and lead in the game-changing documentary Going Dry, premiering 2nd January 2027. A first of its kind, designed to inspire the average drinker to take a break.
His TEDx talk, The Limitless Pill, has inspired audiences to unlock their full potential. He lectures at the PFA Business School. As a dynamic speaker, Andy has shared his insights on some of the world's biggest stages and top podcasts, including The Rich Roll Podcast, Feel Better, Live More with Dr Rangan Chatterjee, The Slo Mo Podcast with Mo Gawdat, and The Virgin Radio Breakfast Show with Chris Evans. His own podcast, The Alcohol-Free Advantage, has been featured in the top ten podcasts for self-development.
Andy is also co-founder of Authentic Brew, a healthy, nature-based energy drink built to nurse you back to optimal health when you go alcohol-free. The mission: a genuinely healthy drink that is good for the people who drink it and for the planet. 25% of net profits go to the Authentic Brew Foundation, funding biodiversity and ecosystem restoration across the globe.
You will find Andy living the learning, having created a life of optimal health, connection, contribution and happiness.
