Welcome to this episode of the Fail Forward podcast.   When I welcome a guest to the podcast I never know quite how the conversation will go and am always blown away by the stories people share with me.   In this episode I’m joined by James Seilo of Catalyst Personal Training who shares the epiphany that triggered a complete change of career direction.   “I was dying a little bit inside and knew I had to get out.”   James shares how he put serious childhood abuse behind him, overcoming trauma and, determined to do things differently for his own children, set about building a secure family environment.    Doing things differently is a recurring theme for James as we hear about his journey from freight forwarding to building a personal training business with clients including U.S. golf pros and Hollywood A listers.   As you’d expect from a Fail Forward guest - it hasn’t been all plain sailing.    James is open about how past business failure has impacted him, the lessons he learned along the way and how they’re helping him make different decisions now for the next chapter of his business journey.    And if you’ve ever doubted the power of physical fitness on your business wellbeing, listen in to find out how space hoppers and swingball can be a fun, effective alternative to stereotypical gym sessions.   If you enjoyed listening to James, click here to connect on LinkedIn or email jameseilo@me.com   If you’re enjoying the Fail Forward podcasts, follow me on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok or LinkedIn for all the latest on my mission to help business owners Fail Forward.    Facebook https://www.facebook.com/failforwardhenri LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/henri-ghijben-539132101/ TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@failforward12 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/henrighijben/
