Hello and welcome to bouncing back with James.

My name is James Millerton and I have to say I am very, very excited about starting this podcast.

First of all, thank you so much for tuning in and listening wherever you heard about it from my

social media, from a friend.

This has been a long time coming this podcast and I'm going to tell you a little bit about

why I came up with the idea and some of the topics and things that I'm going to be discussing

further down the line in future episodes. And I'm also going to give you a bit of background

about who James Middleton is, who he really is,

not just what you see on social media. And there I was a few weeks ago. In fact, I've been

thinking about doing a podcast for for months and months now. And it was one of those things,

you know, you have all those thoughts running through your head and, oh, is anyone going to listen?

And, oh, everyone's done a podcast now. It's a bit blasé, you know, just wait, wait for the right time to do it. But I looked at myself in the mirror. I gave myself a pep talk, which I do every now and again when, you know, I need to give myself a bit of a telling off and some words. And I just look just do it just buy a microphone and just

start talking and I actually took the advice I give out to a lot of people a lot of the time

which is there is never a right time to start anything the stars will never align for you

and as Tim Ferriss once said in his book the four Four Hour Work Week, which is a very good book,

by the way, and I'll talk about that a little bit later in another episode.

But he said, the traffic lights of life will never always be green.

And that's really stuck with me.

And it actually makes me do a lot of the things that I'm doing today and just go for things rather than trying to wait

for the perfect moment. So here we are. Here I am talking to you. And like I said, I'm very much

looking forward to this podcast and the upcoming episodes. And I'm going to give you a bit of a

background about myself and why I've come up with this idea and the title bouncing back so you'll get a better understanding of what exactly you are going to be listening to and what I'm going to be talking about.
