In this episode of Radical Joy, James tackles one of life’s greatest challenges—actually starting something.

Whether it’s making that first nerve-wracking LinkedIn post, tackling a long-avoided project, or just getting out of bed without a countdown (we see you, 5-4-3-2-1 crew), he’s got you covered.

James shares his personal struggle with perfectionism, spills some truth about the imaginary “consequences” we fear, and even treats us to a hilarious meatball-on-grandma’s-white-carpet story that perfectly captures the anxiety of messing up. Spoiler: Nobody dies, except maybe Grandma’s patience.

Packed with humor, honesty, and a solid reality check, this episode is your gentle (yet hilarious) nudge to stop overthinking and just start the thing. Because as James says, “Starting is 72% of finishing.” Tune in, laugh, and then… just start. 🎧✨
