Who's vacation at a high level is just letting my peers know that taking an extended break from alcohol is what I've found to be the key to happiness and the found of you. The boots vacation is taking that time to relearn life without it, to restore your health. I think a lot of top performers, they treat themselves like junkyard dogs, not like $1,000,000 racehorses. Wait a second.
You're telling me that by following your rules, I'm gonna have more freedom that doesn't sound like autonomy to me Clifford. It's tanking testosterone. It's aging you. It's stressing you out. It's just all these negative things. I know self respecting man would be cool with all that nonsense. What's up everybody? I'm Chaz Wolfe, gathering the Kings, coming back to you here today with, of course, another king on the stage. Clifford Stephen. Welcome to the King stage. My brother. How are we doing?
Doing great. Thanks so much for having me, Chaz. I really appreciate it. Of course. Well, you're a serial entrepreneur. Yeah. I've had a compensation consulting company based in the Bay Area, Silicon Valley, designing employee, and executive pay plans a lot of pre IPO tech and private companies in Silicon Valley and California for the last 20 years. Worked with a lot of enterprise companies as well on a project basis. A little bit of real estate, Recently COVID passion project.
I've founded and launched a Booth vacation, immense health and wellness business in earnest and It's been really awesome finding my passion and my value, and it's been a fun ride. So just real quick here, you said Booz vacation. I hope the listener caught that first second there. Give us just, like, a quick synopsis. Are we vacationing with booze? Are we getting away from booze? Give us some clarity.
Please vacation at a high level is just letting my peers know that taking an extended break from alcohol is what I've found to be the key to happiness and the found of youth. Take a step back a little bit about myself. Started drinking in high school, like a lot of us do in high school and college. You get a doctrine into that. Put water polo soccer tennis, real social, real extroverted, and followed it all along the way, and then got into corporate America.
And, I mean, human resources and everywhere. I'm super extroverted, and it's always along for the ride, but I was also a nutrition nut. I had a degree in nutritional science and a health nut. And so definitely started looking and feeling my age in late thirties, early forties, and so I wasn't looking for it, but I begrudgingly took a 1 year break from alcohol and, you know, to kinda, you know, deflect some of the shit I might get from my buddies. I came up with, hey.
I'm on a beach vacation and it made him laugh. It gave him a chuckle and got him off my back. And so That was the birth of it. And so, yeah, just trying to come up with a term that's not so lame and defensive. The problem with my peer groups is I think there's such a strong association with fund friends, events, and a reward system. Right. And it really becomes a part of your identity.
And so guys might cut back a little bit or maybe take off dry January or something like that, but they're never really able to really get back to a 100%. A lot of guys are stuck 60, 70% with bad sleep and bad hormones. A lot of negative feedback loops Chaz get stuck in, especially around sugar intake.
And so ultimately, it's really health one on one play and just a fun aspirational way in health movement to really help guys restore their health because unfortunately, pre disease starts showing up in your thirties with belly fat and and high blood pressure and maybe a couple prescriptions. And forties and fifties has become more chronic disease states. And So a lot of my peers or super high performing are doing great when they're business, but might not be looking at their health and wellness.
And so it could be Super tricky to thread that needle if even if you are working out and having a kale salad with regular alcohol use. That's just kind of what we signed up for as far as our physiology and it being everywhere and tolerance and age and wear and tear. So it's a pretty predictive model that we're not cool with guys getting bad results and bad outcomes in their families. And so we're being the jerk, talking shit about it, and having some fun with it.
Yeah. 1, I wanna actually encourage you, but also the listener that I've seen more in the last 6 months. Content wise on social media around, I'm just I'm over alcohol in this language of, I think people are just becoming more conscious of the fact that it is basically poison or it is directly poison, really. And then it's associated, like, dot dot down the road to Wolfe, if it's that, what are the effects on me, and then how is it worth it?
So I think a lot of people actually are starting to ask these types of questions or at least from what I can see. Personally, I've asked the question, does this serve me? Alcohol, but I also apply it to pretty much everything in my life, and I've just become more and more obsessive about this question in my life. And so I've always asked the question, does this serve me? And the result I've always gotten specifically around alcohol is, at some point, I'm gonna lose control.
At whether that's 2 drinks or 20 drinks, why would I want any of this thing that's gonna take my control if my success is up to me? Why would I not want control of that? And so that's always felt like a pretty easy decision to me, but you're right. There's a lot of, like, culture and peer pressure talk about this a little bit because, obviously, not only did you go through it, you created the name to get your buddies off in a fun way, but now you're helping other men do this.
This is a real thing to be able to, like, step away from and not feel like shunned. Talk about this a little bit. Yeah. And just to quickly react to your story, I mean, you're so enlightened. Chaz, like, to me and my peers, like, This is not our playbook again. I I'm 51, and I think the reality is with my peer groups. And I travel a lot. It's just super ingrained in our society. And you've been a football game. You, you know, the drill.
Yeah. But, yeah, I mean, as far as the impact, it's been really game changing and I had some really profound effects to my health and performance in my sleep and my just my mindset and my body transformation as far as ideal weight. And so I started telling my buddies, and I wasn't even telling them to take a break. I was just saying, hey. I've listened to this 4 hour audible book. Super entertaining. It really was eye opening, and it and it did inspire me to take a break. Hold out.
Call lied to me, and it was really good. And, like, my buddies were like, hey. Oh, oh, like, they they couldn't I couldn't I couldn't they didn't even wanna have the conversation. And, again, these are buddies I've known for decades and really trust them like me. And, you know, at the end of the day, it's a little bit of monkey see monkey do.
And when guys aren't talking about it in meaningful ways, if they're not trying it and if they're not seeing the samples of their buddies doing it and having just as much fun and crushing it with their business and, you know, social life, etcetera. It just it's just this vacuum, and it's predictive model, and I was starting to see a lot of bad things precipitating.
And, again, these are top performers that are stud athletes, NCA, water polo champions, like, all kinds of, like, really high performing dudes that just over time, it peaks away at them. So That's right. I was able initially to get a couple buddies to do it and badger him into doing it. And they just had very similar experiences and found it really compelling and Ultimately, it's not about demonizing alcohol or anything like that.
I think it's just the current climate doesn't really provide guys with much of a choice. It's like, hey. You can cut back or you can maybe take a month off. The science states, most guys, it's gonna take 3 to 6 months minimum just to get their neural circuitry back to factory things. So Wow. Their their normal day to day, even if they're not drinking every day, just having a few drinks a week is higher stress, higher anxiety, lower mood, and, of impulse control.
And I could take 3 to 6 months to even get back to normal. And that's just one thing. It's not even testosterone or your sleep. And so What happens is guys don't really wind up getting a choice. And so they just other than which brands they drink, and so it's just a really predictive model with really bad outcomes. Ultimately, what happens is guys wind up asking the wrong person because they're stuck at 60, 70%, and that's what they're used to.
And so once you get them to a 100%, they'll be like, oh, this is killer. I'm loving it. I'm crushing it. I've stacked up all these wins. I have no intention of giving these up. And I wanna keep rocking this vacation. But, you know, again, if you don't take that long enough break to give yourself a long enough runway to give your body mind and time to heal and take that extra time, money, and energy to start chipping away at these things.
You're not really getting a choice we're all about giving the guys most amount of choice. And, again, it's not sobriety. It's not finger pointy. A lot of my peers aren't looking for sobriety. It's interesting. It's a paradox. Actually. People feel the similar way when it comes to, like, their time or their calendar. When I talk to an entrepreneur who doesn't time block or doesn't run their life on a calendar, because I wanna do my own thing. Right? I wanna be free. I wanna be flexible.
But that person is a slave to something else Chaz opposed to I input on my calendar what it is that I wanna do. What's important for me? And so I'm not a slave to the calendar. I'm a slave to me that built the calendar. Chaz person is here, they're blown and tossed left and right because they didn't prepare ahead of time. And so I'm hearing you say the same thing about alcohol. It's, like, actually, if you can I guess? It actually gives you more freedom.
So through structure or through maybe some intentionality is really probably a better word rather than structure. You actually have more freedom. Talk about this a little bit because there's guys listening right now going, wait a second. You're telling me that by following your rules, I'm gonna have more freedom Chaz doesn't sound like autonomy to me, Cliff, Yeah. And that's a beauty of it. You know, obviously so, again, I'm real negative about cutting back in 1 month breaks me.
My buddies did them all the time. They never worked. We were try January, then we're doubling down on Super Bowl Sunday. And so That's the beauty and the feature of booze vacation. So a lot of the work is just getting guys to understand what's really going on and how deep that that rat hole is when it comes to how alcohol affects you. And once guys get a little bit of awareness and get clued in a little bit, no, but no self respecting man would be cool with all that nonsense.
It's just, like I said, it's like, it's tanking testosterone. It's aging you. It's stressing you out. It's just all these negative things. And so Again, it's really it's a gamified kind of lifestyle experiment where you're you know why you're doing it. You're not you don't have to make any you don't have to make any lifetime declarations, but you're like, hey. I need to test this out. I really like it. It's everywhere, and I need to see how this goes.
And I that's kind of the problem with the shorter breaks. They're very defensive. You're on your heels. You're not really totally convinced, and your buddies are gonna smell blood in the and they're gonna be like, dude, come on. Just have a beer. What the hell's wrong with you? Yeah. And so, again, it's really about playing offense. You're taking these longer breaks. You're like, wow. You're taking a 6 month break. You're taking a year break. That's crazy.
So some quick blocking and tackling around taking the break and, you know, what to say and a bunch of killer non alcoholic beers and a bunch of different stuff you could do to make it easy, but, you know, it's, yeah, it's just a whole different game. And what what ultimately happens by making that decision that, hey. I'm taking a booty's vacation, you're making one decision instead of a 100 or even 1000 of micro decisions around alcohol. Right.
And it's there's so much There's so much bandwidth and nonsensical capacity in your brain of thinking of, again, just your physiology. You go big on the weekend, and then you have all your stuff to take care of during the work week. And you're at you're dragging ass. You're at 50%. You feel like you've look and feel like Chaz. And you're lamenting about the weekend or you're wondering when the weekend's coming along. So you're never present. You're never in the zone.
Why would you wanna be present when you look and feel like crap? The beauty and the key feature of be vacation is is to set it and forget it. And you're just kinda forced. You can't sit there and watch the clock and mop around. You have to get after it. And eventually, you're gonna heal, and it's not about not drinking. It's about massively upgrading your life.
Alcohol is negatively affecting your hormones, your sleep, your diet, your gut, your inflammation, your absorption of nutrients, your the size of your brain, how your brain is wired, and there's so much there's so many things going downhill Chaz you're aging on top of wear and tear. I know Chaz, you guys are all about top performance and great business and that takes a lot of time and effort. And sometimes things go sideways on the side.
So a lot of men of success in our alcohol obsessed culture just really wind up. They're making money, but they're not managing the store, and they're really majoring in minor things. And I think a lot of guys will work out and try to do some salad. Try to lose some weight, but what they'll find is they're pissing up when with their physiology, and they're just not they don't wind up getting the results because out cause you stuck in so many different negative feedback loops.
You're not even aware of that. Right. You're just not gonna get the result with Chaz you age. And so you kind of like, no. I'll I'll just kinda let that go. Okay. I'll just take pill that my doctor gave me. I'll just have this procedure. Oh, can't really play this anymore. Your quality life is, like, tanking. You're, hey. At least I got some money. But guess what? You, like, you hit chronic disease and you're, like, forties or fifties.
It's not game over, but you're playing a new game, and it's not any fun. And your business is going south. Didn't hear you say one good thing. Those are all negative. I wanna talk about impulse control. I talk I talk a lot of shit. That's my nature. It's somebody's gotta combat the all those beer commercials. Yeah. Well, I hear you talking to people. Right? I hear you just saying, let's just look at what it is. Right? Okay. So I'm exchanging what I think of as culture norm and fun.
And my belief Chaz maybe the listener is thinking, is that in order to have these things, I have to interject alcohol. And all you're all I'm hearing you saying is, hey. What if you could have those things without the poison that literally you're putting in your body that has all these other effects.
If you could still have this, if you could still have the life that you want, have the business, have the fun, have the marriage, have the have all this stuff, but it just doesn't include the thing that you're putting in your body that's giving you all these other negatives. Wouldn't that be the best case scenario? And someone's like, well, yes, of course, but that doesn't exist. But Clifford's saying, well, of course, it does. That's why that's why I'm here.
A little wheel of, like, decision making in here, impulse control, I'm huge on decision making. I am who I am. You are who you are based on AR thoughts and then our actions but inside of that is decision making. You said impulse control. Decision making impulse control, it's a it we're in the same lane. So talk about that. How does alcohol affect my impulse control, and then how does impulse control really help determine the rest of all the other stuff that we're talking about as far as success?
Yeah. Yeah. So, again, there's a lack of impulse control and discipline. Couple drinks a week on a regular basis. It's referred to as chronic It's rewiring your neural circuitry. And also it's directly and indirectly affecting and lowering testosterone levels, which for men is really important to for drive and performance, albedo, but also proper testosterone levels make doing hard things feel good.
And so when you have low testosterone, you have a lack of dry, you're not feeling very good physically and emotionally, and doing hard things doesn't feel good. And so, again, his comfort is killing us. Right? It's like, hey. Just give me a Starbucks. Give me a give me a bagel. Give me a beer. It's just always about numbing out. It's really damaging. And over time, that can really lead to bad outcomes because you're very short sighted.
You're in these lowered states and you're just trying to get back to square. And, again, I'm sounding a little bit dire, but I think that's the reality. Even with guys that have it all on paper, And I think that's even it's almost even worse when, like, when you are rocking, like, the killer neighborhood and the great car and beautiful family and you got the killer business. So on paper, you have it all, but when you look, you peel back the layers, guys are dragging us.
They have they're out of shape, bad blood work, They're moping around. They're discontent. Hey, Kings and Queens. Chaz Wolf. I wanna talk to you about something that's super important to me. We put a lot of time and effort. We, meaning myself and my team, into this podcast, into the content that goes out every single day. And if you have been getting any sort of value or insight from this, we wanted to be able to reach other business owners too.
So we would love if you would like, comment, share, leave a review, post, share again, all of the things on social media, on all the different platforms, or even on the podcast mediums of Apple and spot we would love to be able to get our content into more hands, more entrepreneurs so they can grow their business as quick as possible. Together, we are building a community of like minded entrepreneurs who are committed to growing their businesses to new heights. So let's do this.
Let's help each other. Let's help each other grow. Yeah. Well, I think that's spot on. I mean, you're saying, hey, guys. Here's the information. Do with it what you want. That's true autonomy. Right?
Like, you've just not been given all the right information, and that's what I'm hearing you say is Based on here's some data, not only my story, but some research and some accurate information, here's how a good way that you can maybe do it and doing it differently might look like permanently getting rid of it. It might look like just x naying it for a period of time.
The freedom there or the autonomy there, I think, is what's important for the listeners, because it it really does come down to you. Now we're talking about success again. Because if it's not your desire, if it's not something that you personally, the listener want to do, you're not gonna do it. People do what they wanna do. We know this.
And so if it's something that you do for a period of time, but you can't sustain it, you're gonna have to either rewire something or figure out what the greater desire is, right, because it's always about lesser or greater desire. I'm hearing you say that the greater desire for you was to perform at a higher level or to get rid of all the negative aging and low testosterone and all the negative effects.
And it was like, no. Actually, the weight of that wasn't worth the few good things that quote unquote alcohol gave me in my sphere of influence. Am I hearing you right? Yeah. At the end of the day, I was working very diligently to have the good effects of alcohol and without the bad. And that's just, unfortunately, is impossible.
And and so led me down a rat hole and just spending a lot of time, money, and energy on my my sleep and supplements and fitness and diet regimes and just so much time and nonsense that, you know, of not getting the result and ultimately the epiphany was alcohol is the master key. That stuff all works actually fantastically well. It's just out of sequence Chaz you have to have alcohol on the shelf. They've put down one to get another. And we're not trading 1 for 1. We're trading 1 for a 100.
I think people think it's a bigger lift and a bigger ask to really get these massive improvements that I'm talking about, but that's why I'm targeting my peers to do drink regularly, but aren't alcoholics because putting that down and then start working on some basic health and wellness, sleep habits, diet, fitness, different things you know, you could just get such massive gains and results, like, so quickly, get the momentum, get pumped
up, and in to your point, I think I think when it comes to guys making their choices, there's there is a big roadblock of, hey. I'm gonna lose identity. I'm not gonna be by fun and wild side, and I'm not gonna have any friends that are gonna do it. And so that's exactly why we created Booth vacation because the community is super important. They need to know that they're not, like, some weirdo.
And I think a lot of people drink because, I mean, I know I did and a lot of my buddies because, like, we still we're still that same guy in high school in college. So you were still that same wild guy, and it's like, yeah, that's great. But if you're not surfing and if you're not if you're not getting after it. And if you, like, you look and feel like crap and your shoulders busted and you're but you got this pill on this side effect. It's like, Hey, Matt. You're not aligned there.
I've been able to regain my youth. I served ten foot waves for my 50th birthday in Nicaragua. It was sketchy, but I survived and had a great hanging out with my buddies, and it's really about that quality of life. And like I said, I think a lot of people have a really strong association with their identity, but I think you're a lot There are a lot more to you when you're smarter with your alcohol use, and that's having the ability to put it down for an extended period of time.
Relearn how to have fun and relax and enjoy life without it. Yeah. I'm hearing 22 people being affected here, which is really the case in everything in life, but I'm hearing the negatively influenced person is hearing you say, okay. It's bad for me. It's keeping me from all these things. X X. Okay. Fine. But then the other person over here, probably a little bit more like me, who's possibly motivated, and you're telling me that I'm only living at 40, 50, 60%.
I would challenge that even and say if because of the mindset piece that we haven't even talked about, that's associated to this impulse control and decision making and success that they're probably only operating at 10 or 20%. And so if that's true, even if it's 40, 50%. And he is killing it, crushing it, family, cars, house, business, whatever. Imagine what it could be. Right? And so I think it's one way or the other.
It's like you're either motivated to run away from all the negative things, or you're motivated to run towards your potential. Because I'm definitely that guy where you're like, if you were telling me today and if I drank alcohol, which I don't, but if if I'm I'm listening, I'm going, wait a second. There's a there's an easier way to get to the next level. Wolfe, yeah, sign me up for that. Why Wolfe I be willing to hold on to something that's, like, actually keeping me back?
And so talk about maybe that for a for for guys that have gone through your program, they're in the community, all that fun stuff. Do you see this kind of one guy's running away from the thing, and one guy's running kind of towards the thing? Yeah. I think it's different for our for different people. Sure. But, you know, I we do try to hit both of those themes. I think a lot oftentimes, stick is a little bit more powerful motor motivator than the carrot.
It's a really neat opportunity to really restore your health and feel your feelings and get a lot of epiphanies in a lot of just a lot more time and space and healing your mind and you're quieting your mind. And so is this really a heck of an opportunity to just tap the brakes and get some insights while you can because the world's crazy. You got a lot of responsibilities, lots to you're trying to have fun. You're trying to take care of business.
But I think probably people are more motivated by, again, like, nobody wants to leave money on the table. I do talk for a fair amount of shit on it, but I don't think people realize the impact it's it has on their health and how a lot of people are on the red line and And my peers in their late forties could be months away from a cancer diagnosis or chronic disease. It's super expensive. It's not very effective.
Yeah. We have some some pills and stuff like Chaz, but ultimately it's so much easier to restore your health than it is to a attempt to manage chronic disease, which is essentially just sort of playing whack them all with a bunch of different symptoms and issues. I think a lot of top performers They treat themselves like junkyard dogs, not like $1,000,000 racehorses. Yeah. Well, the guy that's listening right now, that's this sounds good. I know that this is probably not good for me.
But a year, I mean, just it's just inconceivable to them. Like, they're that buddy that was to you. That's crazy. Walk through the year. Give them this road map that makes it believable for them. What does it look like? For them at month 1 through 3, 3 through 6, 6 through 9, 9 through 12. We have everybody's vacations are 3, 6, 12 months. Again, it does depend a little bit about your situation and where you're at and where your health levels are, how much you've drank.
And so if you've been drinking heavily for a good 20 years. A 3 month break is gonna be it's gonna be really impactful, but you'll probably make a lot more money and get a lot more insights for the taking those longer breaks. So, yeah, we encourage the longer. The reality is that and this is gonna sound silly, but the hardest part about taking a booty's vacation is not taking the booze vacation. It's the deciding to take a booze vacation.
And so, again, it's in the hardest part, and then the second hardest part is, like, the 1st 2 to 3 weeks. You have a little bit the strongest of the physical and emotional dependence to it. And then the rest is like this, again, once you reemerge after that month and your body's starting to and you're starting to get again, you're not watching the clock because it's not anytime soon.
But it's really just about just getting after it and restoring your health and and swinging for the fences and going big. But, yeah, I mean, to walk through it. So, yeah, we encourage longer breaks. And again, the other obvious thing is I think a lot of people will look at their social calendar and be like, okay. Well, I have this wedding. I have this And it's really it's not about, like, your social calendar. It's like, when do you wanna stop rolling with the dice with your health?
When do you wanna get back to a 100% and start and really get after it? And really live your life to the fullest. But, you know, to step back, obviously, you need to know what you're up against and why you're doing it and that's we work a lot on that and related to guys and, again, not finger pointing, but just talking about the realities of that environment and and what that lifestyle leads to predictably. But, yeah, the 1st couple of weeks is a little tricky.
You're a little it's a little boring. You've been kicking the crap out of yourself for, in a lot of cases, decades. And just across the board, just bad diet choices, bad hormones, your brain, digestive system, your info inflammation in the body. There's so many things that are just kinda going south. Ultimately, the kind of the tricky part is we're swapping out an operating system.
If alcohol is it fun friends, events, and a reward system, then what Chaz then how do you get your fun friends, an event, reward system? And so It's really about increasing your activity levels and getting after it and just your currency is like muscle mass and tivities and Again, guys get into their forties and fifties. Like, muscle mass is your currency for longevity, and we want guys crushing it to 99 and beyond.
And, you know, I'm slipping and falling and wasting away to really, again, get your mind back. Get that impulse impulsivity. A lot of that stuff is just it's just really tricky to do when when the alcohol is still in the mix. But, yeah, I would say the 1st 3 to 4 weeks, you're getting your sea legs and getting acclimated. And you're starting to look and feel better and drop a couple pounds.
And then, yeah, it's really about, again, not about not drinking, but it's really about keeping your foot on the gas. And so start working on your sleep and and sleep routines and getting into the gym and working out and getting movement and getting light and dusting off the toys in the garage. Yeah, you're gonna be doing different stuff.
And, yeah, there's gonna be a lot of time for personal and professional development, listening to your favorite podcasts, audible books, and still going to parties and trying to, like, getting a couple at bats. Ultimately, you're gonna be a light in the darkness, and a lot of people are gonna be really intrigued and you're gonna have a lot of cool conversations.
Again, it's not like you have to be a spokesperson for it, but there's a there's a real pent up need for this because there's a million days out there that could really need this. Yeah. Yeah. And the breaking of the cycle. Right? And that's truly what success really is. It's overcoming limiting beliefs, breaking cycles, creating new habits or neuro pathways to be able to get to where we wanna go. And that's what it takes. And so someone might be listening going, I'm sorry. What did you say?
Well, let's at least just identify one thing Chaz alcohol literally is not good for you. But Just take a little booze vacation and see what happens. I Chaz tell you from somebody who has been in many social circumstances over my 37 years of life. And because I've never had a a taste of alcohol. And so it's been brought up many times. And, I think, goodness, I just have never cared. I just do not care what you think about me.
And so I've never had that social pressure of, oh, maybe I should because I wanna fit in. I haven't had that. However, the conversation still remains the same, which is it comes up, and I have to be ready for it, which is at this point, it's just it's fun for me now because 37 years in. I'm like, I'm ready. What? You want the bazooka? You want the I'm coming at you one way or the other.
One thing that I've always referenced back to, which has helped me, not even from a faith perspective, because it's a Bible verse that I'm gonna quote. It has nothing to do with that, particularly. It has everything to do with what the scripture said that's in proverbs. It's proverbs 31. But he talks about how alcohol is for those that are depressed and trying to overcome grief. But it's not for kings.
Less they have too much, make bad decisions, and ruin the kingdom for all these people that they're responsible for. And so it's okay.
