#101 How to Enjoy the Journey not Just the Destination with James Swanwick.
How many times do you find yourself feeling upset with where you are? Feeling like you’re a loser, or not where you expected to be in life? You’re not alone.
It’s natural. We all obsess over the end goal.
On this episode of Old Souls & Seekers, we are joined by one of my favorite entrepreneurs, James Swanwick.
On the surface level, James seems like the perfect success story. He was a TV Show host on ESPN. He started a million-dollar company that helps people sleep with his brother. He’s even been a success with the ladies.
In the end, though, even James doubts his successes. He’s gone through many self-imposed transitions in life and is constantly learning more about himself.
I’m honored to have him on this podcast to open up about what most entrepreneurs are afraid to admit: their downfalls. Together we explore the ways that we aren’t perfect. We take off our masks and expose the truths of this crazy world we live in.

The Cliff Notes:
- Some people’s definitions of success can differ from others.
- Your dreams may not really be your dreams.
- It’s better to work for yourself than for other people.
- Your life is constantly full of transitions.
- Learn to tune in to what really matters, not what your mind thinks it wants.
- Intuition starts out as a whisper, but will eventually turn into someone on a megaphone.
- The subconscious mind can sabotage you as well as the conscious mind.
- It’s almost impossible to have smooth transitions in life.
- Just because something works for you, it doesn’t mean it’s the best thing.
- There is no right or wrong, it’s just a bunch of things happening.
- Always be open to new routines and new processes.
- Nobody else can make you upset. Nobody else can make you angry. Only you can.
- Learn to love the negative part of yourself.
- Trust in the process and let go of the end dream goal.
