Finding A Purpose Through Pain: James Hughes - The Relentless Pursuit Podcast #79 Jan 31, 2024

This episode features guest, James Hughes. Real Estate investor and personal trainer in Nashville. James was connected with me my by our mutual friend and past guest, Dylan Lee Gentry.

-

James and I got along right off the bat so I knew it would be a solid conversation. Taking us back to his beginnings up north. He came from a good family and was quite the athlete in his childhood. Following some injuries over time he had to re-gear his mindset moving forward.

-

A few years ago he was in a bit of a rough space and unintentionally became a father. Early on, this was a heavy hit and he was not ready. Regretting the man he was at the start. He realized the importance of being the man he is supposed top be and made the change within himself to move forward and be the best father he can.

-

Now, his focus has shifted towards an emphasis on fatherhood, fitness and success. James, thank you for coming in and providing the value you have. I know you’ll crush it and looking forward to having you back.
