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 decided to shift my focus - for a little while. I’ll be taking a break from the podcast and see how it goes. Perhaps it’ll come back in a few months, maybe it’ll be an entirely new show, or maybe this phase of life is over. No matter what I want you to know that I appreciate your support as a listener, and I encourage you to stay in touch with me. Whether it’s through social media, a meeting in person, or an e-mail every now and then to say hi I’d love to hear from you. On my final episode (for now) I reflect on what I’ve been learning lately. Not just in business, but also in life and personal relationships. I’ve gro

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 with high intensity workouts. It needs time to rebuild. If you keep working, researching, and trying to grow your business your brain will begin to fizzle and you’ll never get the chance to really absorb what you’ve been learning. As a result, take the time to relax. Take breaks, mentally and physically, so you can go back into the game and really get everything in your life moving where you want it to go. On this episode of The James Swanwick Show I talk to two fitness entrepreneurs, who are also identical twins, Eric and Chris Martinez. These two guys lost their father as teenagers, and it turned their life upside

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 being yourself. Own your opinions, but don’t push them. If you feel like the conversation isn’t going anywhere, and you feel like you need to prove yourself or start talking about your dating “resume” as to why you are such a good guy, pause for a moment. Start talking about THEM. If you get them talking about themselves, and really clarifying who they are, and what they want it will be so much more beneficial for everyone. They’ll feel heard, and you’ll learn if this relationship is right for you. Most importantly, listen to the words behind the words. Don’t be afraid to dig in to who they are and what makes them tick.

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 bad. Are juices and smoothies really as bad as soda, or are they a cure all to those with diseases? All of these answers are given by our special guest today, Alessandra Trovato. Show notes: JamesSwanwick.com/328 Alessandra was diagnosed with Celiac’s Disease, which is a rare autoimmune disorder caused by the protein gluten - which is found in many pastas and breads. She’s now a nutritionist, and has become an expert on what food is truly healthy and what food is not. Even she admits the answers can be much more complicated than simple or yes or no, but luckily she answers a lot of questions about the myths of healthy

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 had an unexpected seizure that came out of nowhere. She was rushed to the hospital, and after runnings tests discovered that she had two brain tumors. Unfortunately there is no cure for brain cancer. Since her diagnosis Faith has found more appreciation for the world around her, and has discovered the importance of time. It’s no longer about putting things off, but doing things while she still can. Faith has also decided to start speaking and giving awareness to this disease, which has been overshadowed by higher profiled cancers so there isn’t much money going to researching a cure.

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 knowledgeable than you, and more experienced than you. You just need to to seek them out. One thing you can do is try to find a meetup in your area of other people who are in the same type of business you are. Chances are, no matter where you are, there is something going on close by. And if there isn’t, then take action. Start your own meetup and bring other people closer together. There is nothing that will inspire you to talk action more than being surrounded by people who are also taking action. Learn from their mistakes, bounce ideas off of them, and don’t be afraid to be the dumbest person in the room. That’s how y

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 makeup, how to improve their home, or even how to get into shape. Venturing into one of these business models happens to some people by accident. Just sharing what they love, and what they are going through - which is key. In business you want to share your story. You want to tell people about the good and the bad that you are going through. This makes people feel invested, and they develop an emotional connection. As long as you can do that, you can start a business. On this episode of the James Swanwick show, James is joined by Amanda Bucci. Amanda fell into a lifestyle business just sharing her experience in fitne

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 always bring on someone who is better than you. You don’t want to find someone you need to train, you want them to be ready to hit the ground running and grow your business in ways you didn’t expect. If you’re wondering when is the right time to bring on a new team member, as yourself this: Is you business still growing or has it plateaued? When your company is still growing, that means you are on the right track. If the answer is that it’s plateaued, that’s a sign you need to bring someone else onto the team. On this episode of the James Swanwick Show, James interviews Ryan Moran. Ryan just sold his business for 8 fig
