The James Swanwick Show

How often do you get out of town? How often do you explore new vistas? Even if you’re not taking a vacation it’s very beneficial to get out of your bubble every so often. I’m actually heading off to San Diego for Comic-Con this weekend, to get some time away form home. When was the last time you took a quick trip away from home? Enjoy the show!

Do you have a fear of missing out? Otherwise known as FOMO, in today’s language.  Maybe you find yourself living in a small town in the countryside, but you know there’s so much to explore and to experience in the world…. You can see the future planned out ahead of you with the wife and 2 kids, but you have this feeling of missing out on life’s adventures.  Do you ever get this feeling? Well, you’re not alone, as most everyone experiences this throughout his or her life. And Today I’m going to talk about the dreaded FOMO with Jason Chatfield. He is a fellow Australian, widely popular cartoonist, Vice president of the National Cartoonist’s society, and Stand-up comedian where he lives in New York City. Enjoy the show!

COFFEE. Is coffee a health food, or is it actually harmful for you? Over the past 10 years I’ve read studies from both sides of the spectrum, with each having valid arguments. And today I’m joined Sincere Hogan, the host of the “Live Life Aggressively” podcast, holistic strength and conditioning coach, and founder of New Warrior Coffee. Sincere will cover why people should drink coffee and why some people should stay away from the little dark beverage. Enjoy the show!

Are you thinking of starting a business? Maybe you want to, but work a full time job…and extra time is hard to come by. Tai Lopez is with me today as we chat about the journey of beginning your first entrepreneurial venture. He believes it's very important to avoid extreme ideologies when first beginning. For example, maybe you’ve been told to quit the steady job and paycheck, and just go for it. Or maybe you want to have the perfect fail proof plan in place before you set sail into business… But the answer always lies in between. Make a transition plan, and stick to it. If you don’t like what you’re doing, make an 18-month transition plan (as Peter Drucker says). And whatever you do, make sure to start with knowledge. Research the successful entrepreneurs in your field, and find out WHY. Enjoy the show! Let me know what you think on twitter and instagram @jamesswanwick and  www.jamesswanwick.com

How harmful can blue light be? Well, besides disrupting our melatonin production, it’s been linked to a myriad of diseases including cancer. During the day, you don’t really need to worry about your blue light your exposure …but at night it’s a different story. Until the advent of artificial lighting, the sun was the major source of lighting, and people spent their evenings in relative darkness, besides natural candlelight.  But nowadays, easing into bed with a laptop or tablet makes it harder to take a strong snooze, because it mimics the sun (signaling to you it’s daytime).  But there is hope! You can wear specially designed blue blocker glasses, which have an orange tint on the lens, that block most of the harmful light. Think of the orange construction glasses. Ideally you want to wear these 4 hours before bed, so your body can prepare for the night soon ahead. Enjoy the show!
