Season 5 | Ep 8 - James Johnson on how the stress of being a global Recruitment Agency CEO led him to changing his entire lifestyle and career

1 hour 1 minute

On this week's episode of The RAG Podcast Live, on this week's episode of The RAG Podcast I am re-joined by James Johnson!

James is the founder of District 4 and also a CEO coach. James works with ambitious founders, CEOs and VCs where the difference between success and failure is £m's

James was previously the CEO of Nicoll Curtin and decided to change his lifestyle after he and his wife suffered from their second miscarriage. The stress of running a global business meant that he was under investing in other, more important areas of his life.

Since then, he has changed almost every aspect of his life and now has the family he always wished for!

In this episode we went deep into James' own story but also the reality of the stress and challenges faced both inside and outside of work for his many recruitment agency owner clients.
