Clifford Stephan

Chief Vacation Officer

Clifford Stephan is the founder of Booze Vacation, a health and wellness company for high-performing men who want to take their lives and careers to the next level–all by using the massive benefits that come from a break from booze as leverage to do so. He is also the founder of OneCompensation, a Bay Area consulting firm that has helped Silicon Valley companies like Google, Linkedin, Kaiser Permanente, and Motorola Mobility engage and retain top talent.

Clifford Stephan founded Booze Vacation after realizing the recreational drinking that helped him build his personal and professional success in his 20s and 30s was holding him back in his 40s. Although not a problem drinker, he decided to see if a year off from drinking would help him upgrade his health and professional potential. It did–and Booze Vacation was born.

Booze Vacation started as a passion project, but the case for building it into a business grew as others became interested in seeing great results for themselves. In the process, Clifford became an accidental TikTok star, racking up millions of hits on his videos about smarter alcohol use and the health, life, and business success possible while on a vacation from booze, aka, a “Booze Vacation.”

With a B.S. Degree in Nutritional Science (Cal Poly SLO), he is an avid surfer, and tennis player, and loves the outdoors. He has completed over a dozen long-course triathlons and is determined to kick ass and take names well into his 80s and beyond.
