Are You a Lazy Bum? with Brendon Watt

After 12 days of a binge, Brendon Watt stood outside a closed liquor store with a choice: cross the street for more wine… or step into the unknown. That single decision became the first step toward a completely different life. In this raw, often funny conversation, Brendon shares how quitting alcohol cracked open truths he’d been avoiding for years—like redefining “lazy” as the unwillingness to choose beyond your comfort zone, and seeing how often we quit on ourselves just as things get good. You’ll hear how brutal honesty, real allowance, and the willingness to keep choosing transformed his life, and why greatness has nothing to do with comparison. This one will make you think, laugh, and maybe even take your own first step into something far greater than your comfort zone.

Today, he is a worldwide speaker, best-selling author and facilitator with Access Consciousness®️, a global empowerment company in 176 countries leading classes, workshops and private sessions that empower others to know they are not wrong, that anything is possible, and that they are just one choice away from change.
