James Cooper - Smilinggg Man

Join Jenni on RunPod for an extraordinary conversation with the incredible James Cooper-better known in the running world as “Smilinggg Man.”

In 2024, James humbled us all by running 366 marathons in 366 days to raise funds and awareness for the Samaritans, driven by the heartbreak of losing his uncle to suicide.

A health and wellness performance coach, meditation teacher, mental health first aider, and endurance fundraising athlete, James is the living embodiment of mind, body, and spirit.

He lives by a simple creed: “Sometimes I need to put myself in the fire and see who I can become in the process.”

Discover how he turned personal tragedy into a global mission, developing the Smilinggg Daily Practice around the three G’s- Gratitude, Generosity, and Growth- to help others build healthier, happier lives. Since launching Smilinggg on May 17, 2015, James has inspired thousands to take one step-and share one smile-at a time.

Listen to this uplifting episode packed with grit, grace, and game-changing insights on resilience, community, and the power of a single smile. You won’t want to miss it!
