Our guest on this edition of 100 Not Out is a fascinating human being.
Andy Ramage is a former professional athlete turned oil broker who decided to go one year without beer – and it has stuck.
Andy is also a master practitioner of NLP, a mindfulness based awareness coach and is currently studying for a master’s degree in both positive psychology and coaching psychology.
A love of wellbeing and peak performance led Andy to stop drinking alcohol in the face of massive social pressure. Running a brokerage in the city and ‘not drinking’ is almost unheard of. From this experience he realised that there were probably millions of others out there desperate for a break from alcohol who could not overcome this pressure. So he wrote a book and co-founded a movement with Ruari Fairbairn’s called OneYearNoBeer a 30, 90 and 365 day alcohol free challenge to change peoples perception of alcohol.
Andy’s unique background, education and experience of running OneYearNoBeer make him one of the world’s leading habit change experts.
