After struggling with addictions and mental health issues, James decided to make a change. "Chasing The Present", (his film) documents the process, a journey of self-discovery that gave him the opportunity to question the nature of his suffering and ways to break free from his addictive patterns. Within the film, there are some incredible deep points about mindfulness and removing, "The I", the ego, and identifying where our pain comes from and how to release it from our lives.

In this podcast we talk and we chat about healing practical tips on how to become more self-aware and of course, presents. My producer mind goes on a little jumble and its own takes over for a bit, and we talk about the behind the scenes of the film and he and some covering some technical questions as to making of the documentary itself.

James is now dedicating his life to facilitating change, by way of healthy restaurants and yoga studios. He is also a qualified yoga teacher and currently studying psychology at the University of Colorado.

I do hope you find some value in this and so without further ado thank you for tuning in to this Great Day podcast episode.
