In this episode, I’m joined by Duncan Bhaskaran Brown for a real conversation about the hidden costs of alcohol in the workplace.

Duncan has done his fair share of over indulgence, strictly speaking he’s drunk more than his fair share of wine and eaten more than his fair share of cake. After 20 years of overdoing it, he cleaned up his act and trained with the world’s most successful stop smoking service. But that wasn’t enough. He studied human behaviour at Cornell University, the Chartered Management Institute and in a windowless room in Peterborough. Now regarded as a leading behaviour change expert, Duncan helps people to destroy bad habits and build new ones.

We’re pulling apart the myths, talking about why “just one drink” at a work event isn’t as harmless as it seems, and how alcohol culture quietly chips away at businesses.

From productivity dips to mental health impacts, we’re laying it all out. If you're curious about how changing the way your business thinks about alcohol could actually save money, culture, and people, this is one you’ll want to catch.
