Show Notes

If today's guest's voice or picture looks familiar to you, it's likely because you've seen James Swanwick at some point on ESPN. While that's where he found early success, since that time this Australian-American has become an incredibly successful entrepreneur, speaker, health coach and podcast host.

We covered a variety of topics, but I was blown away by the common beliefs and habits we shared, including the act of reading a book a day. While I only did it for 30 days, James has been faithfully reading a book a day for years. James and I dig deep into his generosity practice and why he feels it's the only way to lead in order to form true and authentic relationships, why he gave up alcohol and now helps others do the same with his 30-Day No Alcohol Challenge. Genuinely wanting to help others, he also founded Swanwick Sleep that focuses on better sleep in a blue-light filled world.
