James hit the TEDx stage — and came off it with scuffed knees, a full heart, and a ton of lessons. In this funny, honest, and deeply human episode, he shares what it really felt like to chase a dream, miss his own high bar, and still come out stronger. From fast-talking nerves to heartfelt feedback, James unpacks how to handle expectations, love your messy moments, and keep building even when your blocks fall down. Spoiler: Neosporin and snack breaks are essential. If you've ever aimed high and landed... somewhere in the middle, this one’s for you.
