Duncan Bhaskaran Brown
Some people say that Duncan can help you to go beyond alcohol. But that isn't it. Duncan will help you increase your energy, power up your productivity, improve your relationships and enjoy the heck out of life. After 20 years of overdoing it, he cleaned up his act and trained with the worldâs most successful stop smoking service. But that wasnât enough. He studied at Cornell University, the Chartered Management Institute and in a windowless room in Peterborough. But that wasn't enough. He wrote a couple of books, most recently âReal Men Quitâ, the armchair macho guide to beating booze and finding the life you want. But that wasn't enough. Heâs started interviewing the sober superstars and conducting research projects which involved watching TV. But that wasn't enough. What would be enough? Maybe if alcohol-free was the default, if sober was the new normal and if alcohol stops destroying people. Maybe then Duncan will sit down with a mint tea and sci-fi novel and relax. Maybe.
