12-week coaching program

Our team’s work has been featured in…

Are you a young entrepreneur, investor, or next-gen leader who’s tired of alcohol holding you back?

  • You’re a high-achiever but feel alcohol and other vices are hamstringing your productivity

  • You used to think alcohol, social media, and netflix binges were just the way busy people “switch off,” but you’ve read the science and know these aren’t sustainable strategies

  • You’ve tried treating alcohol like a habit, swapping it for other easy outs or taking break. But willpower isn’t working and you’re ready to use a proven-process to make the change stick. 

  • You’re not a “powerless” alcoholic but you’re wise enough to know you’re also not all powerful; you’ve been told (or forced) to go to AA, but you can’t get past Step 1 with a straight face.

  • You’ve realized change doesn’t get easier as we age, it gets harder.

  • You have bouts of productivity and focus that are undermined by occasional or even frequent hangovers, poor or insufficient sleep, and hormonal imbalances. 

  • You want to get back to building your life, business, family and/or career with integrity, sustained focus, and unbounded energy. 

  • You’re a disruptor, innovator, change-maker, and/or leader who’s ready to show the world what you’re truly capable of. 

 The Truth About Alcohol

(That No One Tells You)

If you're struggling to control your drinking, it’s not because you're weak, broken, or powerless. And you don’t have a disease. The truth is…

  • Alcohol is engineered to be addictive.

  • Society will normalize it no matter where you go.

  • High performers (like you) are hard-wired to push through, and you might think alcohol is even helping: but the truth is, it’s scientifically proven to make us less resilient.

  • To pull off something as big as your vision, you’ll have to be clean and clear; the margins for error are too small these days - and the pulls on our attention and focus too numerous - to be successful long-term if you’re leaning on crutches. 

You’re not an alcoholic.

You’re a high-functioning person who’s been using alcohol (and other sub-optimal strategies) to cope, connect, or escape…

…and those strategies are (and have been) failing you.

here’s the good news…

There’s nothing wrong with you.

You just need a better strategy.

One that’s backed by neuroscience, personalized to your life, meets you where you’re at, and has been proven to have long term efficacy for others like you. 

You need a program that works, because it was built by someone like you.

Someone who’s dealt with the internalized pressures of a powerful family & society, overcome multiple, life-threatening addictions (to alcohol, opiates, and other substances), and proven his process works with dozens of clients for more than a decade. 

Introducing Succession.Inc

Succession isn’t just what happens in business when a new leader takes the reins.

It’s ecology.

A natural process where disrupted ecosystems regenerate into something stronger, more adaptive, and more alive.

In nature, fires clear forests. Floods reshape land.

And what comes next? Not collapse, but renewal.

New roots. New growth. A new system entirely.

That’s the kind of succession we believe in.

And it’s possible for you too.

At Succession Inc., we help high-achieving next-gens and entrepreneurs turn personal disruption into lasting transformation.

You don’t need to burn your life down. You don’t need to check into rehab. And you definitely don’t need to carry the weight of your family, business, or legacy alone.

What you need is a structured, science-based system that gives you the tools to break free from alcohol (and other coping mechanisms) and step into a new version of yourself.

One that’s clearer. Stronger. Happier. 

The Succession Approach to quitting alcohol

Our proven process is based on a fusion of research-based approaches and delivered in a private, high-trust, team-based coaching container.

We don’t just help clients white knuckle it for a month: we guide them through a full-system reset that rewires their brain’s reward loops, restores nervous system regulation, supports optimal stress-rest cycles, and reshapes the underlying circuitry and identity structures driving self-destructive behaviors. 

Built by a team of peak performance experts, serial founders, researchers, and clinicians who’ve lived the journey, our method works not through shame, dogma, or replacing one addiction for another…

It works because it’s based on cutting edge research, (biometric) data collection tools, AI-driven personalization approaches, and innovations in the fields of neuropsychopharmacology, neuroeconomics, behavior science, clinical psychology, somatic psychology, and digital therapeutics.

how does it work?

Succession.Inc is a private, proven system designed to help you stop drinking and stay sober in a way that actually fits your life.

1. Apply for a Private Intake Call

We only work with a small number of clients to ensure deep, personalized support. On your call, we’ll get clear on your goals and whether the program is the right fit.

2. Get a Personalized Sobriety Plan

You’ll get a custom plan built around your schedule, your habits, your triggers, and your long-term vision. We use proven tools from neuroscience, behavior design, and high-performance psychology.

3. Work One-on-One With a Dedicated Coach

No group shares. No “step work.” Just weekly 1:1 coaching with our founder who’s been through it and gets the pressures you face. You’ll get direct support, weekly accountability, and real-time adjustments.

4. Build the Skills to Stay Sober Long-Term

We don’t just help you stop drinking. We help you rebuild your identity, nervous system, and mindset. You won’t just be avoiding alcohol… you’ll genuinely be thriving without it.

you will learn:

  • You’ll understand the neuroscience of cravings, habit loops, and emotional regulation, and use science-based tools to interrupt them in real time.

  • You’ll uncover your real triggers and patterns (stress, boredom, loneliness, pressure) and build better habits that actually stick.

  • Instead of spiraling or numbing out, you’ll have real tools to regulate your emotions, reset your nervous system, and stay present.

  • You’ll learn what to say, how to say it, and how to still have fun––without feeling like you’re “missing out” or faking it.

  • We’ll help you create a routine, environment, and support system that makes not drinking the obvious, easy choice.

  •  No more hiding. No more shame. Just clarity, energy, and a deep sense of being back in the driver’s seat of your own life.

We don’t just help you quit alcohol… we help you rewire the way you respond to any stressor, helping you build a strong identity so you don’t need to constantly numb yourself to survive.

Founder’s note

I founded Succession Inc. partly as a wink to the show and to the dysfunctional, high-expectation family dynamics that shaped me and fueled my drinking. But more than that, it’s a call to evolution. In nature, succession is how ecosystems respond to disturbance. I see our civilization going through a moment of disturbance from which we can choose to emerge stronger and more evolved, or fall like Rome. 

We talk about business performance KPIs and convince ourselves we’re measuring the right things.. But are we, really? More often than not, it’s what we fail to measure that we don’t improve, and what we don’t improve is what ruins us. As a serial entrepreneur, I know this because my endeavors only started taking off when I started measuring what really matters when it comes to sustaining long-term high-performance: recovery. At first, I tried to outsmart or supplement my way out of sub-optimal rest. But wearables, nootropics, cold plunges and habit-stacked routines could only take me far when I was still drinking. No matter what I did during the day, so long as it ended with a drink, the next one wouldn’t be much better. After a while, we all realize we’re quietly screwing ourselves over every weekend, if not every day. But that’s the knowing–doing gap we have to be bold enough to bridge. 

For years, despite knowing alcohol was slowing me down, I figured that only alcoholics get sober. But these terms are so outdated and no longer serve any of us. Whether we’ve trained ourselves to tolerate a certain amount of ethanol, it’s still not a smart thing to consume if we’re trying to tackle big challenges or show up to life consistently. 

Succession Inc. is my act of raising the bar — for myself, for my teams, and for you. You don’t have to get “sober,” and you’re definitely not “powerless,” as AA would require you to admit. But you’re not all-powerful either. If you can admit that, then you’re ready. That’s where we - and the systems we’ve built and tested - come in. To help you move through the fear and into real, lasting change.

Frequently asked questions

  • No, you do not. The first few weeks we will get a baseline on your health and wellbeing. By month two, however, you'll be ready to take the next step: 30 Days Dry. By month three, we'll see whether you need additional support or not.

  • We designed this program to be lean, efficient and to fit the life of a high performer. If you can carve out 60–90 minutes per week, you can do this.

  • We combine neuroscience, behavioral economics, and real accountability. This is not AA. It’s not rehab. It’s a structured, high-integrity protocol that uses evidence-based tools, support, and weekly 1:1 coaching to help you quit drinking long term.

  • If you’re asking that question, something in you already knows the answer. Maybe your drinking isn’t “out of control,” but it is out of alignment. You don’t need to hit rock bottom to make a change. In fact, the sooner you handle it, the better the outcome.

  • In theory, yes. But if you could’ve, you probably would’ve by now. This program isn’t for people who need help desperately, it’s for those smart enough to get leverage early, when it matters most.
