    98% of People Are Drifting. Are You One of Them? James Swanwick

    26/05/2026 | 35 mins.
    Most people aren't failing. They're drifting.
    Napoleon Hill wrote Outwitting the Devil in 1938. His publisher refused to release it for 70 years. Too controversial. Too honest. In it, Hill claims that 98% of the world's population has surrendered control of their lives to what he calls The Drift — the invisible force of mediocrity, autopilot, and the path of least resistance.
    When I read it, I immediately thought of alcohol. Because drinking isn't a choice most people consciously make. It's something they drift into. One drink to celebrate. One to unwind. One because it's Thursday. Until one day the habit is running the show — and they're just along for the ride. In this episode,
    I break down what The Drift actually is, why high achievers are more vulnerable to it than they think, and what the neuroscience of habit tells us about breaking free. The antidote to drift isn't willpower. It's a definite decision.

    25/05/2026 | 17 mins.
    Are you trying to change your habits using willpower alone? Coach Jason dives into the profound neuroscience of mental imagery and why it is one of the most underutilized tools in an alcohol-free journey.
