The James Swanwick Show

Today I’m joining you from the Bulletproof coffee shop in Santa Monica. It’s the opening night of Dave Asprey’s new store, which is looking to revolutionize the way people eat food and drink coffee. Dave calls it the first ever café trying to put itself out of business, because he’s selling food and coffee that makes you so full you won’t have any cravings for another 4-6 hours. But this is what real nourishing food is supposed to do…. You wont find any croissants, doughnuts, bagels, or pastry’s here. Only bulletproof approved coffee and dishes. If you’re in the Los Angeles area, be sure to come by and see this amazing new coffee shop for yourself! Let me know what you think on instagram and twitter @jamesswanwick   www.jamesswanwick.com 

Today I’m joining you from my West Hollywood home, as I make my way to the beautiful Runyon Canyon. And running beside me is my good friend Dan Ilic, who’s an Australian born comedian, writer, and filmmaker. Listen in as we discuss his road to success and topics such as health, nutrition, relationships, and what he considers to be the good life.  Enjoy the show!

You must come meet me in person at Tai Lopez's Mentor Conference this Sunday, April 26 in Santa Monica, CA.  Click this link, sign up, grab your ticket: http://bit.ly/1IoizWl I will see you there. What is the benefit of attending an in person conference? Why not just read a book, watch a video, or practice something on your own? Well, according to top neuroscientists it’s shown that humans learn best when they are able to interact with their environment, and see and touch their surroundings. Not only that, but conferences provide the space for so many amazing opportunities. For example, you could meet potential businesses partners, investors, affiliates, and many like-minded people.  Enjoy the show!

Focus. Are you trying to lose weight? Are you trying to achieve a certain goal? Are you looking to transfer out of your current job? Or maybe you’re trying to start your own business? No matter what your goal is, focusing is the answer…And no matter how long you’re “to do list” may be, it’s important to focus on ONE particular thing first. It’s easy to get distracted and jump from task to task, without ever finishing the one goal. Listen in, and learn how to start and stick with your goal to the finish.

How do we build habits that stick? What makes us fall off track, and how can we prevent that from happening in the first place? Well, today we are talking all about habits…. And how tiny habits can lead to big success down the road. Joining us on the show today is the king of habits, James clear. He is a high performance coach, entrepreneur, weightlifter, writer, and travel photographer. James’s believes building successful habits is not about managing time, but more about managing energy. It’s all about having the energy to perform a certain task, and then getting it done.  Enjoy the show!

I’ve just picked up my father, Ron Swanwick, who’s flown in from Australia to spend a few days with me in Los Angeles. Listen in as we talk about life, great stories, and his continuing journey to Peru to see Machu Picchu. Let me know what you think on twitter and instagram @jamesswanwick www.jamesswanwick.com   

When should you say you are “sorry?” Too many people don’t like to admit their own mistakes…they either blame circumstances, they blame someone else, or just don’t say anything at all and remain silent. But that can be a slippery slope, and possibly lead to creating resentment in other people down the road. That’s why it’s so important to over communicate. Even if that means saying you made a mistake and swallowing your pride for a moment, it’s far better than sitting still. Today I want to share with you a story that happened recently, involving a product of mine.  And the moral behind the story being, when something is not right, voice your opinion and take action. Taking responsibility is far better than anything else. Enjoy the show! Let me know what you think on twitter and instagram @jamesswanwick     www.jamesswanwick.com    

Are you still stuck? Do you feel you’re in a rut that you can never get out of? Maybe you want to quit you’re job, or get out of that relationship…. but you don’t know how too? In reality, this is one of the most common questions I get asked. ”James, how can I get unstuck?” Well today I want to walk you through an exercise to show you exactly how you can get unstuck. It’s great to write down what you want to create in you’re life, but some people have a tough time with this. That’s why I recommend figuring out what you “do not” want to create in you’re life. This is a powerful exercise that can really shed more light on what you’re looking for. Enjoy the show! Also, if you’re interested in attending Tai Lopez’s in person seminar on April 26th, you can click on the link below. It’s going to be an amazing event, all about moving from you’re current situation into a life and business you love.

Do you struggle keeping conversations going with women? Maybe you’re impeccable at opening conversations, but then you lose momentum and the energy falls flat…Don’t worry, it’s a very common problem among men nowadays. But today you’re in luck, as I’m with my good friend Owen cook of Real Social Dynamics. Owen is going to give a first hand lesson on how to approach women. And more importantly, how you can keep the interaction escalating with a couple great tips.  Enjoy the show!

Do you have trouble putting on muscle mass? Are you putting in all the hard hours at the gym, but just not seeing the results? Today my good friend and longtime listener, Mark Dhamma is back on the show with us. Mark is a former UK men’s fitness model, high performance coach, celebrity trainer, positive psychologist, and just an awesome dude. Today he is going to lay the groundwork for adding that elusive muscle and weight, and getting the body you desire. Mark is actually going through a bulking phase himself at the moment, so his is fully practicing what he’s preaching…One of main reason’s people have trouble putting on mass is simply because their not eating enough calories throughout the day. But this can be a slippery slope if you’re not careful and conscious about the process. Enjoy the show!

When was the last time you traveled somewhere new? Today I’m joining you from The Ronald Regan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, which is about 45 minutes north of LA.  And I want to talk about the importance of getting out of your normal environment and your comfort zone. Going somewhere new is a great way to see different lands and also a perfect time to do some “deep thinking.” It’s not often we can take time out of our busy days and just be still for 30 minutes. But when you’re able to do this, good things happen…. new business ideas come up, valuable insight arises, and you become very present by noticing the subtleties of life.  How different would your life be if you thought deeply everyday?  Enjoy the show!

Today I’m recording live from Tai Lopez’s retreat in West Hollywood. And right now there’s a group of 6 of us running down through Runyon Canyon, getting a great workout in.  Running with us is Dr. Jeff Donatello, who has dedicated his practice to helping people with chronic conditions through the use of functional medicine and nutrition.  In regards to genetics he believes that your parents give you the “gun” and you are responsible for putting the “bullets” in it.  So your overall state health is mostly dependent on the lifestyle choices that you make.  A small percentage does come from your parent’s genes, but the majority is up to you.  Enjoy the show!

Don’t follow your passion? Yes, you might be scratching your head reading this one…. But today I’m speaking with my mentor Tai Lopez on why this has some truth. In any successful business or venture that you do in life, there has to be some element of passion. But what we are talking about today is the cliché…that you must have a career in something you absolutely love. But what you like and what you are most passionate about, doesn’t always translate into excellence or business success. Today Tai explains that the only real way to make an impact in the world is to become an “expert.”  Then once you become an expert you must be able to capture that value.  For example, you could be the best musician in the world, but if you’re unable to sell albums and capture that monetarily, then is that success? Listen is as Tai explains how to create massive impact and discover your Eulerian destiny!

Do you need alcohol to give you that extra courage when approaching the opposite sex? Well today I’m here with Owen Cook of Real Social Dynamics. He’s been on the show a few times, but if you’re not familiar with Owen, he teaches people social skills and the art of attraction. He coaches men how to be better with women and vice versa.  And today we are talking specifically about alcohol and attraction.  So often the two go hand in hand, but do we really need the substance to attract the opposite sex?

Welcome to a special episode of the James Swanwick show. Today marks 5 years to the date, since I quit alcohol. It’s my 5 year no drinking anniversary. And I still get asked this question quite often, “How and why did you stop drinking? Did you have a problem and an addiction beforehand?”  The truth is, I wasn’t an alcoholic back then and I really didn’t have a problem.  But I was drinking on the weekends, and I generally felt sluggish and run down. So I decided to embark on a  30-day break from beer and alcohol, and see how I felt as a result of the experiment. After the 30 days, I loved how I felt…I lost weight, saved money, gained confidence, and was more energized throughout the day. Now I don’t want to walk you through my entire story here, but today I want to share something that I’ve created called “The 30 Day No Alcohol Challenge.”  Yes-It’s 30 days without a single drop of alcohol! Would you be up for the challenge, or would you cave in? If you want to check it out, you can go to “30 day no alcohol c

Welcome to another episode of the James Swanwick show! This past weekend a few friends and I attended the Wonder Woman Tech Conference, close by in Santa Monica. And today I’m going to play some of the audio from our fascinating Uber ride we had along the way. The Uber conversation topics ranged from the grass vs. corn fed cattle debate, the damage that artificial light can cause you, what the second smartest animal on the planet is(behind the human being of course), and much more.

Welcome to another episode of the James Swanwick show.  It’s a Tuesday night here, and I’m having my apartment warming party at my new place in West Hollywood.  Just to set the scene, I have about 22 people in my apartment where we’re all gathered. It’s a potluck party so everyone’s brought a different dish. And the food everyone brought was amazing…. you can actually check out the spread on my Instagram and see all the delicious dishes. In this episode I will be playing some of the sounds from the night, as I mingled with everyone and interviewed some of the fascinating guests here at my place. And I encourage you to plan your own potluck too!  It’s a great way to catch up with old friends ,while not have to worry about traveling all over town just to connect.  All you have to do is invite 12 or so friends and tell them to bring 1 friend each. That way you can meet up with old friends and have the opportunity to connect with new ones too. I will usually host them midweek, on a Tuesday or Wednesday night, sin
