What Really Happens at an AFL Retreat (Atlanta Recap + $50K Raised)

At first glance, an AFL retreat might look like a few days away in a nice location. It's not. In this episode, James Swanwick and head coach David Gilks take you behind the scenes of AFL's recent Atlanta retreat - what really happens, why it works, and the standards that make it unlike anything else in the alcohol-free space.

You'll hear how the room came together to raise over $50,000 for a breast cancer rehabilitation charity… and why that mission matters so deeply to the AFL community. But this isn't just about impact - it's about transformation.

From the intentional structure of the days… to the surprising rules (like walking to and from dinner)… to the small details like calling restaurants ahead to ensure every meal supports performance, not sabotage… Everything is designed to help high-performing men and women reset their relationship with alcohol - and step into a sharper, more energized version of themselves.

You'll also hear about the unexpected side of these retreats:
Playfulness.
Connection.

And why even highly successful adults need to reconnect with that part of themselves. If you've ever wondered what actually happens at an AFL in-person event - and why they're so powerful - this episode pulls back the curtain.
