Time waits for no man… We're halfway through 2022 & I've had my head down the last 6 months & didn't even realise we were half way through it because momentum was carrying me through. There's no better feeling being on the ball & being so head down focused time flies. My recent trip to Mykonos taught me that don't judge anybody on what they're doing or wearing. Saw this guy who was not wearing any shoes & just looked very merry arrive to a restaurant in a yacht… now it might not have even been associated to him, but it made me think. You can never judge what someone's got. Especially in todays day & age & I love it! I'm all for the low-key successful people… wealth whispers.  Also my new brand was a big one for me, it made me reminisce and took me back to the younger days pre RMDY. To what it is now & doing the foundational work. Super fun times! It's called Auriri. It's follows the same ethos as RMDY. It's affordable mens jewellery, high quality & just really nice looking products! Our Instagram is @auriri. I'll do another podcast diving a lot deeper into the brand in a few weeks! Enjoy this episode & I'll see you on the next one 

Have you ever started something and realised, no matter how hard you try, you don't seem to be getting anywhere? is it best to hold on and keep persevering or give up? There's no right or wrong answer, it's down to your own judgement and if you feel your energy can be given elsewhere.In todays episode I discuss why it's super important to play the long game with life and your business/ passion projects etc. Even me being 8 years into the game, i've always been aware that none of this is over night, it's a long game and i feel in today's day and age that is often missed. i live by the saying, nothing worth having comes easy which i want to encourage more people to know. As always another RAW, OPEN & HONEST Podcast.Enjoy xx

Imagine if we all had a time machine, how different would we approach certain situations! today I dive deep into a discussion of my key learnings from my 8 year journey into my brand building. The sh*t they don't talk about and stuff you're only going to learn with experience. Believe me, the journey has been crazy & we're only just getting started... My key lesson here is always be willing to learn no matter what level you're at in your journey. The more you learn... the more you earn. (& i'm not just talking about money)Enjoy xx

In todays episode i discuss if we  fall into becoming victims of living for the gram & letting instagram take control of our lives with feeling like you have to post and if you don't post "it didn't happen"+ I discuss Is  having too much confidence a bad thing? i also call one of my content creator friends  to see his opinion on the matter.

Now being complacent is my worst fear... although i've been guilty of doing it myself & i'm sure lot of others have. it's something which dooms on me and is just hidden in the shadows, i think as long as you're in control of your choices in life and remember what got you to where you are (hard work / smart work) shouldn't be forgotten and push that laziness and complacency out. in todays episode i talk first hand how i deal with complacency with my top tips and a story of how i nearly because a victim of complacency. You're Going To Love This One! James 

2021 Is Over! Just like that, crazy honestly to think how another year has flown by. 2021 has been an insane year for me & RMDY. it's been a mission which has had UPS & DOWNS! But that's life. In Today's podcast i discuss what i learnt this year & if i was disciplined enough to stick to my new year's resolutions and how you can too. 2022 The year of guests for the podcast too! it's going to be a madness. Love James x
