    I have ADHD and I have got into a habit of listening to James podcasts as I do my day to day tasks. Some of them I’ve listened to a few times 🤣.

    Very interesting mix of guests and stories.

    Also knowing James personally from the younger days in Glasgow, he’s such a positive inspiration to people from this area that he has went so far and smashing life. With some of the most famous and well known people in the world.
