Life is all about transitions. Things come and go, and nothing lasts forever. Sometimes we need to shift our focus to new things. This podcast is no different, and so it's time to say goodbye for now. This show has been a journey filled with a lot of lessons, wonderful reflections, and capturing amazing moments in time. As my schedule has become busier and my business has begun to take off, I've d...

How many times do you feel like your brain is fried? Maybe your body is exhausted? In either case you feel like progress is just a struggle, and that's the problem of burnout. Burnout is a serious symptom we all deal with in life, and a lot of that stems from just doing too much and going too far. The mind and body both need breaks. If you want to build muscle, you can't if you keep destroying it...

How many times do you find yourself using pick-up lines and feeling anxious about it? Do you feel like you're exhausted from wearing a mask? Well chances are it's time for you to move your game up, and be yourself. One thing everyone wants in a partner is someone who is confident. That doesn't mean you need to voice your opinion every chance you can, that just means you need to be comfortable bein...

Is what you are eating making you sick? Can you eat whatever you want and be fine? There's no doubt about it that food and nutrition is a very complicated subject. It seems like every week there's a new diet or study showing that some new food is a super villain. If you go online you read so many opinions, and facts that it can be very overwhelming. It's hard to know if gluten is good for you or b...

Show notes: JamesSwanwick.com/327 We all take life for granted. We push things off, and expect that we will have the time to do things later. But it's possible that while you think you are healthy, and in reality you aren't. One day you may think you are fine and the next find out you have a disease like cancer. That's exactly what happened to James' lifelong friend, Faith Brewer. One day Faith ha...

Show notes: JamesSwanwick.com/326 Are you interested in starting your own business? Many people are, and they often struggle trying to do it all themselves with no experience. This often times leads to people feeling overwhelmed and deflated, which causes them to put off taking action. The truth is you don't have to start from scratch. No matter where you live you can find people who are more know...

Show notes: JamesSwanwick.com/325 Many people want to go into business for themselves, but don't know what they want to do. Selling physical products isn't for everyone, but there's always a chance you are already doing something that people are interested in. Lots of people today are starting businesses just off the things they love to do. Some people are teaching other how to make art, do their...

Show notes: JamesSwanwick.com/324 Starting a business is no easy game. Are first it's just you, or maybe a really small team. As your figures grow so does your team. There comes a point in every business when it becomes more about growing your team and finding the right business than it is about actually running a business. One of the things you need to keep in mind when growing your team is to al...

Show notes: JamesSwanwick.com/323 In 2015 James Swanwick started listening to a podcast that changed his life. He decided to take action and change his life. He did this by investing. Not in stocks, bonds, or real estate, but by investing in himself. James had certainly been mentored and coached for free, but the information didn't have much meaning. It wasn't until he actually had skin in the gam...

Show notes: JamesSwanwick.com/322 While on the road of life we all know it's important to grab onto opportunities. One thing we overlook is the importance of giving opportunities, and helping others. When we have the chance we should take a moment to help those that are up and coming, and where we were only a short time ago. That's exactly what James did while on his travels to New York. A young m...

Show notes: JamesSwanwick.com/321 Our society puts pressures on us all the time. We are told that if we don't have a wife and children by a certain age we aren't normal. We are told if we suffer from depression we aren't normal. The truth is that the most influential people in history weren't "normal". In fact they went against the norm, and were outcasts of society. Today we celebrate theirs live...

Show notes: JamesSwanwick.com/320 Alcohol is a strong substance that can lead to a fun night with friends and help you relax, but a lot of people don't know when to stop. There are a lot of people out there who wouldn't identify themselves as an alcoholic because they don't have a need to drink, but once they start they just can't stop. Moderation is a fine idea, yet so many people can't drink in...

Show notes: JamesSwanwick.com/319 As cliche as it sounds, life really is short. Anything you want to do, you have to do now. If you wait to do something you'll miss your chance, and end up regretting it. If you want to start a business, start a business. If you want to move somewhere, move there. Don't let anything hold you back, especially not fear. Nothing ever goes perfectly smooth in the begin...

Show notes: JamesSwanwick.com/318 There are only two guarantees in life: life and death. Everything in the middle is uncertain, yet we ignore this thing we all have to experience. Death is something we turn a blind eye to and people generally shy away from the topic. Ultimately we should embrace it. We should be ready for it. Not just our own death, but the death of loved ones around us. Watching...

Show notes: JamesSwanwick.com/317 New York is known as the city that never sleeps. As it turns out it's also the city of proper planning. James and his friends spent the night of the Mayweather-Mcgregor fight searching around the city for a place to watch this year's biggest sporting event. James had some quick thinking, and used the power of the internet in order to land a great sport to watch th...

Show notes: JamesSwanwick.com/316 James joins us live again from the road. This time he's recording from the San Francisco airport, and annoying the people around him just to bring us this episode. Recently James has been doing a lot of traveling, and being recognized all along the way. He seems to be well known in the city of Austin, even being recognized while enjoying dinner with friends. This...

Show notes: JamesSwanwick.com/315 When you're traveling, it's easy to be taken advantage of and ripped off. People spot a tourist and know ways to get an extra buck out of them. For example, James was in Las Vegas and a local taxi could tell he wasn't from around there and took him the "long way". A $15 taxi ride quickly turned into $35, and James was unaware until the next day. The good news is t...

Show notes: JamesSwanwick.com/314 There's an old expression: "It takes money to make money." It's absolutely true. Over the last few weeks James has been traveling to various conventions and networking events in order to make progress in his Swannies business. James has spent thousands upon thousands of dollars to attend these events - and it's paid off. In this time James has gotten amazing advic...

Show notes: JamesSwanwick.com/313 It's important to continue learning - constantly. You can't stop, or else you will be left behind. There will always be someone who knows more than you, new trends and technology coming into play, and you can quickly be left behind.   Arnold Schwarzenegger, Steve Jobs, and the Dalai Llama are all people from different walks of life who know/knew the importance of...

Show notes: JamesSwanwick.com/312 So many times people make their dreams come true and then they feel lost. It's something we see a lot with astronauts, who spend their whole life training and working toward their goals of making it to space. When they make it they are left asking themselves, "Now what?" Believe it or not, this is a problem that many entrepreneurs have to deal with. We can spend a...

Show notes: JamesSwanwick.com/311 Are there people in this world you're dying to meet? People you really admire, and want to be a part of their team? The key to making these connections isn't telling them how great they are, or what you want from them. Chances are they are surrounded by people who do that every day. You really need to stand out from the crowd, and it's easier than you think. To ge...

Show notes: JamesSwanwick.com/310 Do you ever feel drained because you don't know what to do? Are there too many decisions to make? It's not always a lot of decisions about one thing, sometimes it can a bunch of things that only have a couple of choices. Decisions use up glucose in the brain, and too many can leave you exhausted. That's why people like Mark Zuckerberg wear the same color shirt eve...

Show notes: JamesSwanwick.com/309 Do you stay up late at night to get more work done, then get up early to get your day started? Are you trying to get the most out of your life by sleeping less and taking full advantage of the day? In reality, you're doing a lot more harm than good by not getting a good night's rest. Studies have shown that being sleep deprived has the same effects on a person as...
