I met James a few months back in Austin, TX for the first time through some mutual friends and we instantly hit it off. James is positive, high-energy, and always brings the best vibes. That same personality shined today in our chat together and I can't wait to share it with you. James has a career in corporate wellness and, on the side, he is an online fitness coach who helps athletes manage their health through mindset, accountability, and execution. He's a former Ohio State track and field athlete, so he knows how to relate deeply when solving problems for his clients. Make sure to check him out.
In this episode, we cover:
-What James does and who he best helps
-What it was like to be a D1 athlete at Ohio State
-Becoming a leader through nature vs nurture
-The transition of going from athlete to "normal person"
-The challenges of being a single father of twin boys
-How his fitness goals have changed since being an athlete
-Things James does to feel good on a regular basis
-His genius morning routine "toolbox"
-His inner-city upbringing and how he was taught not to express feelings
-Balancing high energy and calm energy
-Why he loves skydiving
-How he designs his apartment for ultimate positive vibes
-The lessons of being a single father and raising his boys
-What is exciting James about the future
