A founder asks:"I want to focus on the future, but I don't trust the present to happen."It's a question that sits at the heart of scaling.As companies grow, founders are asked to spend less time executing and more time leading. But letting go isn't simply a mindset challenge—it often exposes deeper questions about trust, team capability, clarity, and leadership evolution.James Johnson and Freddie Birley unpack why founders become bottlenecks, how leadership must change between startup and scale-up, and why the answer is rarely "it's me" or "it's the team."More often, it's both.A conversation about vision, delegation, trust, and building a company that can grow beyond the founder.Send your questions to: hello@peer-effect.comMore from James:Connect with James on LinkedIn or at peer-effect.com

In this episode of The Peer Effect Post Bag, James Johnson and Freddie Birley answer a question many founders quietly carry:“What if my company fails… and I'm unemployable afterwards?”They unpack the emotional reality of entrepreneurship, including identity, pressure, financial responsibility, fear of losing freedom, and the dangerous ways fear can shape decision-making.The conversation explores:Why startup failure feels so personalThe hidden psychology behind founder anxietyHow fear can both fuel and limit growthWhy many entrepreneurs struggle to return to employmentThe mindset shifts that help founders navigate uncertaintyWhy your first company doesn't define your futureA thoughtful conversation for founders, creators, leaders, and ambitious people navigating uncertainty while building something meaningful.More from James:Connect with James on LinkedIn or at peer-effect.com 

For decades, aging was seen as inevitable — a slow and irreversible decline. But a growing number of scientists now believe we may be entering a turning point, with research increasingly focused on extending not just how long we live, but how well we live.In the documentary Forever Young, filmmaker David Donnelly — alongside producers Dr. James Johnson and Dr. Thomas Lewis — explores the rapidly evolving world of longevity science, from biological clocks and AI-driven research to the power of lifestyle, purpose, and social connection.The film also confronts some of the field's biggest questions: what aging actually is, whether it should be treated as a disease, and who stands to benefit if the science succeeds. In this conversation with Peter Bowes, Donnelly reflects on skepticism, scientific disagreement, and why he believes humanity may already be living through a longevity revolution.--Learn more about Forever Young: The end of aging has just begunApple TV Pre-order | Official Website | Substack | Instagram | X | Facebook | YouTube | Watch the Trailer--DISCLOSURE: This podcast is supported by affiliate arrangements with a select number of companies.

Founder life isn't just pressure - it's pressure plus isolation.In this Peer Effect Post bag, James Johnson and Freddie Birley respond to a raw listener question: “I'm managing depression while being a founder - what do I do?”What follows isn't advice from a textbook. It's a grounded, honest conversation about shame, identity, and what it really means to build while not being “fully okay.”They explore why founders often mistake discipline for worth, how mental health can quietly reshape leadership, and why some of the traits you think are weaknesses might actually be advantages in disguise.This episode is about learning to stop fighting yourself long enough to actually see what's going on - and deciding what to change, and what to carry differently.More from James:Connect with James on LinkedIn or at peer-effect.com

“I've exited… what now?”It sounds simple. It's not.In this Post Bag episode, James Johnson and Freddie Birley unpack what really happens after the deal is done - and why many founders feel something they didn't expect.This isn't about tactics. It's about what comes after the thing you thought you wanted.Inside:

Most founders misunderstand what coaching is for.And it costs them.In this Post Bag episode, James Johnson and Freddie Birley unpack what coaching actually does - and why the best founders use it differently.This isn't about frameworks. It's about decision-making, pressure, and telling the truth when it matters.Listen to the end if you've ever asked: “Is coaching actually worth it?”More from James:Connect with James on LinkedIn or at peer-effect.com 

With the US taking the lion's share of the headlines, you could be forgiven for forgetting that Mexico and Canada are also co-hosting the upcoming Fifa men's World Cup.While the US will host 78 of the 104 games, Mexico and Canada will each stage 13 games, in Mexico City, Monterrey, Guadalajara, Vancouver and Toronto.On the sidelines of March's Business of Soccer event in Atlanta, David Cushnan sat down with Héctor Gonzalez Iñarritu, COO and President of Business at Club América, and James Johnson, newly installed at Canadian Soccer Media & Entertainment, to hear more about both markets as they make final preparations for the tournament.Iñarritu runs LigaMX's most successful club, which plays home games at the newly-refurbished Azteca Stadium in Mexico City, venue for the first game of the World Cup.

"How do I not become an asshole?"Emma sent this to James Johnson and Freddie Birley for Peer Effect Post Bag.The fact she's asking is already a good sign.What you'll hear:Why self-reflection matters but isn't enough. Freddie breaks down the three groups you need around you. Your team is one. But they have limits most founders don't acknowledge.The power dynamic nobody talks about. You can fire your team. They know it. James explains how far they'll actually push - and why expecting more isn't realistic.What one team member said that changed everything. "Just tell me if it's non-negotiable. I'd rather not waste both our times trying to convince you when you've already decided." James shares why this matters.The 360 feedback structure that works. But only if you have a facilitator. James explains why doing this yourself doesn't create safety for honest feedback.The question that forces honesty. "Bring to mind my most problematic behavior." Freddie shares the full framework and why it works when normal feedback requests don't.Why power distance kills feedback. As you get more senior, people stop speaking up. You read silence as approval. It's not. They're just calibrated to the hierarchy.What happens in remote teams. Trust takes a lot to build, not much to break. Remote makes it harder. James and Freddie explain why this compounds the problem.The reality:It's hard for founders to get honest feedback on how they're actually experienced.Your team will only push once, maybe twice. Then they stop. That's not them being not brave. That's just the dynamic.If you're asking the question "how do I not become an asshole," you're probably not the one at risk.One action: Listen to the end for what to do today if you want honest feedback.Submit your questions: hello@peer-effect.comMore from James:Connect with James on LinkedIn or at peer-effect.com

In an industry where 90 percent of new workers quit within the first year, the Deep Sea Fishermen's Union of the Pacific stands as a testament to the power of organized labor in the most extreme conditions. On today's episode of the America's Work Force Union Podcast, Executive Director James Johnson joins host Ed “Flash” Ferenc to pull back the curtain on the commercial fishing industry. Johnson explains why this Seattle-based organization is the oldest and only independent fishermen's union in the U.S. and how they've secured better pay and safer vessels for their members. Topics Discussed: The Nordic Roots: How 19th-century Scandinavian fishermen built the foundation for Seattle's fishing hub. Survival at Sea: The rigorous maritime training and safety standards that keep union members alive in a hazardous trade. Labor as Stewardship: Why protecting North Pacific fish stocks is a primary labor issue, not a secondary environmental one. The Market Threat: Why wild-caught seafood matters and the impact of climate change and Russian hatcheries on the local ecosystem.

"My best performing team member is also my worst behaved. What should I do?"Jack sent this to James Johnson and Freddie Birley for Peer Effect Post Bag.The answer is clear: one is worse than the other.What you'll hear:Why under-behaving vs underperforming are fundamentally different problems. James explains which one is more detrimental to your business and why most founders get this wrong.The myth of "this person is irreplaceable." James and Freddie have seen this story play out dozens of times. It always ends the same way. The pattern they reveal will surprise you.How to have the conversation without making it worse. There's a specific way to frame it so they actually hear you. Most founders skip the critical first step.Why you shouldn't take ownership of their change. Where the line is between supporting someone and trying to rescue them. James explains what's in your control and what isn't.The hidden cost nobody talks about. It's not about team performance. It's about what it does to you as a founder. James shares how long he spent on one person and why he wishes he'd acted sooner.When to accelerate clarity vs when to wait. If you know it's a priority, the conversation does one of two things. Both are good. James and Freddie explain why procrastinating costs more than acting.The reality:This conversation requires preparation. But avoiding it costs more than having it.The headspace these situations take is enormous. It affects your enjoyment, motivation, and excitement about the business.One action: Listen to the end for how to know if you should have this conversation now.More from James:Connect with James on LinkedIn or at peer-effect.com 

We're back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, Champions Cup, and Canadian Premier League chat and interviews. It's not been a very good week in Whitecapsland. Defeats to Seattle in the Champions Cup and San Jose in MLS play has taken a little bit of the wind out of everybody's sails and raised some questions about what the team needs to improve on, what players need to contribute more, and Jesper Sorensen's line-up selections. We pick over the bones of both matches, hear from Quakes coach Bruce Arena, and round-up the weekend's action in the MLS West. Plus we catch up for a chat with two Whitecaps defenders - Mihail Gherasimencov and Basti Schonlau. Our feature interview this episode is with new CPL Commissioner and CEO of Canadian Soccer Media Entertainment James Johnson. We talk with James about his footballing background, what attracted him to Canada, World Cup legacies, the financial viability of the league, television deals, innovations in the league, expansion, footballing pyramids, and the new business deal with Canada Soccer. All of this plus we move onto the letter M in our Canadian Soccer A to Z series. Music-wise, Scottish band Bis continue their residency as our Artists of the Month, Close Lobsters are the latest band to feature in our 40th anniversary tribute year to the C86 movement, and Football Violence Awareness Month continues in Wavelength and in California!

"What do I do if I feel like my co-founder is micromanaging me?"Anna sent this to James Johnson and Freddie Birley for Peer Effect Post Bag.The first question they ask: are they actually micromanaging you, or do you just feel that way?The distinction matters. Because micromanagement is usually a symptom, not the problem.What you'll hear:The co-founder assumption that's often wrong. Most people assume co-founders means equal shares, equal power, and started together. James worked with co-founders where none of that was true. The misalignment at the heart of their dynamic explained everything.Why founders micromanage when they feel out of control. There's a specific pattern James and Freddie see repeatedly. It's not about trust. It's about something else entirely. Once you understand it, the behaviour makes sense.The one-way contribution problem. When one co-founder can contribute everywhere but the other can't, it creates a specific tension. James and Freddie break down how to navigate this without it killing the relationship.James's rule to his team that changed everything. "Don't ask me my opinion unless you really need it." Why this matters and what it reveals about decision-making.Why feeling untrusted kills performance. The emotional weight of micromanagement doesn't just affect the relationship. It has a ripple effect on the work itself.The reality:Micromanagement means something else is broken. Unclear expectations. Unclear roles. One person feeling out of control. Performance issues underneath.James and Freddie break down how to diagnose what's actually happening and what to do about it.One action: Listen to the end for what to address first if you're feeling micromanaged.More from James:Connect with James on LinkedIn or at peer-effect.com 

"How to allow for team member personal challenges as a founder?"Katy sent this to James Johnson and Freddie Birley for the Peer Effect Post Bag. James's immediate response: "I always struggle with this."This question has no easy answer because personal challenges could mean anything: mental health, divorce, bereavement, or family crises.Here's what James and Freddie break down:The core principle James always comes back to. You should look after everyone. But you can't look after one person at the expense of everyone else.When you overprotect one person, it impacts the whole team.The transparency paradox. It's sensitive, so people don't want to share broadly. But without context, the team lacks empathy. When they're negatively impacted by someone's behavior or absence without understanding why, they can't be human first.Time horizons matter. A couple of weeks is very different from six months or a year. What support actually means. Support doesn't mean carte blanche to behave however you want. You can't be a coach to someone you manage. If you can fire someone, you can't be their coach. Your incentives are conflicted. What can you do as a manager? Give this a listen to find outOne action: Listen to the end for how to think about boundaries in these situations.More from James:Connect with James on LinkedIn or at peer-effect.com 

"What do I do if I feel like I can't trust my co-founder?"Dan sent this to the Peer Effect Post Bag. And if you're asking this question, James Johnson and Freddie Birley know it's probably not the first time you've had that thought.This is Season 6 of Post Bag. James and Freddie are founder coaches who've worked through dozens of co-founder conflicts.Here's what they break down:Trust has two components. (1) Do they have my back emotionally? Are they loyal? (2) Can I consistently count on them to follow through on what they say?Which one are you actually struggling with? Most people can't separate the two. Once you identify it, you can address it.Most co-founder conflict is misalignment on roles and responsibilities. Not personality clashes. Not values misalignment. Just ambiguity around what each person is supposed to do and be accountable for.You need clarity on two types of expectations. Business expectations: roles, responsibilities, vision alignment. Personal expectations: how you treat each other as humans, not just co-founders. Most people skip the personal conversation entirely.How to actually have the conversation. Express your feelings. Take responsibility for them. Express your need clearly. Give the other person a chance to know what they could do differently.You can't control your co-founder. Only your own response. Only your communication. Only whether you create conditions that increase likelihood of it working. If they're not open to feedback, not willing to discuss, not willing to change - that's significant risk to the business.Trust can be rebuilt. The idea that "once trust is broken, it's gone" is wrong. Trust can absolutely be rebuilt. It takes time, consistency, great communication, and willingness from both people. But it's possible. Sometimes relationships are stronger after because you've had the hard conversations.Crisis either brings you closer or makes differences obvious. Power together or power apart. You don't have to be attached to a certain outcome. But you do have to be willing to have the hard conversations.One action: Listen to the end for James and Freddie's specific advice on what to address first.More from James: Connect with James on LinkedIn or at peer-effect.com

3⧸8⧸26 - The Unfolding Life James Johnson Acts 3 by Platt Park Church

Diana and Nicole speak with Jan Joyce, AG, CG, CGL, who developed and coordinates the new virtual institute course, "Merging & Separating Identities: Strategies and Tactics to Solve." Jan explains that the most common mistake genealogists make is failing to recognize they have a "same-name problem" and assuming multiple records belong to a single person. She notes that the challenge of merging and separating identity cases (M/S) is accelerating because of more digitized records, the explosion of DNA testing, and the rise of AI tools. Jan shares her own breakthrough M/S case, which involved a woman named Susan Gliddon in three different geographic locations, and an example of a student who had mistakenly merged two different William Thompsons for five years. Listeners learn that if they suspect an M/S case, they should immediately stop adding information to that part of their tree and begin systematically recording every descriptor for the individual into a spreadsheet. The multi-week course teaches a rigorous, step-by-step methodology, including the use of identity dossiers, timelines, and correlation techniques, using a Common Data Set to focus on learning the techniques themselves. Students gain the confidence to untangle complex cases and transform their research approach by learning to apply systematic methods to any genealogical research problem.

Thank you so much for offering this course and for rounding up so many great speakers. I learned things from every person who spoke (whether as an official speaker or a member of the group taking the class)." – BS "The class pushed me out of my tunnel vision." – PG "I have to admit that I was skeptical if this approach would work for me — but I found it a great way to make connections as well as step away from my computer and stand a bit. So refreshing to learn something new that is fun too!" – KT "I have really enjoyed this course. It has made me think differently about so many things. While the focus was on M/S, so much of what was taught and discussed can be used in 'everyday research' which for me is usually 'problem solving.'" – RC "After Kim Richardson did her presentation, I should have just stayed up all night. I couldn't sleep because of all the ideas in my head. LOL!" – PG "I am always so impressed with your courses! You have a great teaching style and are respectful and patient with all participants. I learn so much from you and really appreciate your willingness to share your knowledge with the class." – CD "Today was really helpful - I feel like I learned new things at the right pace. I end the day energized rather than drained and overwhelmed." – KT "I'm really enjoying the course. Learning something new every day." – TF "I liked getting the materials each day, as opposed to getting a syllabus. I was more inclined to look at all the materials when they came to me in smaller batches." – PG Sponsor – Newspapers.com For listeners of this podcast, Newspapers.com is offering new subscribers 20% off a Publisher Extra subscription so you can start exploring today.

What does the Gorton and Denton by-election spell for the future of British politics? Top pollster James Johnson – co-founder of JL Partners – spoke to spiked's Georgina Mumford to pore over the results. Labour is crumbling in its heartlands. The Greens are riding sectarian grievance to victory. Reform has been humbled in Greater Manchester, but remains strong across the country. The old politics is gone and it isn't coming back.

"What do I do if my investors tell me to fire a bunch of my team?"Alex sent this question to the Peer Effect Post Bag. And the answer from James Johnson and Freddie Birley cuts deeper than "evaluate your team."This is Season 6, Episode 1 of Post Bag—where founders, CEOs, and leaders submit their hardest questions and get straight answers from two coaches who've worked with dozens of scale-ups. No fluff. No corporate speak. Just practical takes on the problems that keep you up at night.Here's what makes this different:The question seems straightforward: investors say fire people, what do you do? But James and Freddie immediately go two levels deeper.First: Is your team actually the problem? Second (and this is the one most founders miss): Why are you even asking this question?The reality check:This isn't about whether your team needs changes. That's the surface question. The deeper issue is: who controls your business? If you feel like your board does, you've already lost. They're there to enable and magnify you, not direct you.Disagreements often come from fundamental misunderstandings. High stakes and exhaustion make founders defensive. And once you're defensive, you're reactive. Once you're reactive, you've given up control.If you're asking "what do I do when investors tell me X," the real question is: why are you asking permission?One action: Listen to the full episode for James and Freddie's complete framework on founder-board dynamics.More from James: Connect with James on LinkedIn or at peer-effect.com

February 1 James Johnson Repent and Be Baptized by Platt Park Church

January 18, 2026: Waiting with God. Teacher James Johnson by Platt Park Church

LinkedIn feels noisier than ever. AI posts, surface-level expertise, endless scroll. So is it still worth your time as a founder?James Johnson and Freddie Birley tackle the question: should you still be posting on LinkedIn in 2025, or is there a better way to build your personal brand?The honest answer: It depends on what you're trying to achieve.Are you building for speaking opportunities? Attracting clients? Hiring talent? Or just holding yourself accountable to write? The strategy changes completely based on intention - and most founders skip this step.What you'll learn:Why the more you use LinkedIn, the worse it feelsThe exact question to ask before spending another hour on social mediaHow to know if LinkedIn is right for your goals (or if you're wasting time)The 80/90% delegation model that cuts your time from 10 hours to 1 hour/weekAlternative ways to build personal brand without LinkedInWhy committing to one strategy beats trying 500 things at onceKey insight: Personal brand ≠ LinkedIn. If you've decided it's right, commit fully. But if you're doing it because "everyone says you should" - pause.More from James: Connect with James on LinkedIn or at peer-effect.com
