"not a perfect partner" for a title. I'd love to read that, so many people talk about how you can make yourself the ideal partner, I'd love to read someones perspective that doesnt pretend to be perfect or ideal and just learns to understand themself and how that positively impacts their life and relationships
You seem really happy and it’s lovely to see. Love the idea of spitting ideas and unloading what you’ve been reading on this channel 😊 Living in the UK, so find January very difficult to get through. But hoping to start a family this year 🥰 Good luck to you and the Mrs on your little one!!! So exciting!
Congrats and good luck on the pregnancy and family! Don't normally comment on things but have seen you talk about your Avoidant attachment style and more lately about your ADHD diagnosis. As a hugely avoidantly attached 27 year old with pretty much all the adult ADHD symptoms online (although undiagnosed), I would love to learn about how to deal with both in the context of relationships and self-improvement. Just my opinion though. Will buy your book regardless. Love your message and your work. All the best for the future.
Yooo James, over here in NZ and was getting ready for bed and I almost got whiplash from the news. Congratulations! Have a 14-month-old and my hall pass after she was born was to see you in Christchurch. Buzzing for you and the missus mate, gg wp.
I have adhd. Runs in the family as both my dad and brother have it too. I spent years learning all about human nature, why I am like I am and trying to fix myself. Caused me so many issues lad let me to depression and panic attacks all the time: Realistically the main issue was I couldn’t concentrate on anything I didn’t have an obsession with. Long story short - fixed every problem I ever had being mentored by someone out of Costa Rica who specialises in psylocibin mixed with nlp, cbt and so on. This world is in such early stages. Truly going to change the game. Would actually love to explain to you if you have 5 minutes. Maybe give you some ideas for your book. Anyway best of luck with it!
Massive fan from South Africa! I am definitely going to miss listening to you during my commute. Totally understand this decision though. Congrats on being on such a good path that you have to give up something 🙃 #adulting
So glad your persistence, tenacity and consistency not to mention hard work, has brought all these good things into your life. It’s refreshing to see that someone who keeps it real, calls out the bullshit & seems to actually be “normal” can also be hugely successful. You’ve always been honest and relatable and I love everything you do so book 4 will be amazing. Good luck with becoming a Dad. Your life is about to change in ways that you can’t possibly imagine. Enjoy every second xx
Congratulations to you and your girlfriend! Wait until you look into that child's eyes for the first time, you will see the world with a whole new set of priorities. Anyway, Huge fan! Found your channel a few months ago and have been losing weight since and feel better each day. I have a long way to go (Yes I'm WAY over weight), but enjoying the journey due to the content on your channel!!! I look forward to your posts. They're a big part of my inspiration. Even at 60 years old!
I'm alright cheers James. We're basically the same age and from your content at least i think we have a very similar outlook on life. I had my daughter a year ago and expecting our 2nd in August (fingers crossed). You are going to love being a dad, get them on a little front pouch/back pack and take them for a walk down the beach and look at the sea - watch their little face.
Brilliant. I can’t wait for book 4, I’d love to see some jits included. I’ve recently had my ADHD diagnosis also, maybe strategies to live with it whilst being partner, full time work, step dad and training.
A book on your experience with ADHD would be good ! And writing things which help you with it. We’re moving to AUS this year we can’t wait to turn up. Brisbane here we come
Congrats James always loved you’re content because it was so raw and said it how it was. In you’re new book would like to here any challenges and how you get thru them.. Can’t wait for the new addition of bubs and the book ❤
Hey James, not bad thank you, thanks for asking 😊. How are you? Not going to lie I do miss your podcasts. Especially with the boys. And just wanted to say thank you for all the books you've recommended along the way. Best of luck in your new adventures 🎉
Good luck in the future matey love how your not to serious love the humour and sending big love to you and the missus on the parenting journey hope he or she come on the 25th June keep up the great work matey ❤️🙏🏽
Hey james! I'll jump on the podcast. 🤣🤣 I live in AUS, Perth man aswell with ADHD, Would love to interview you and honestly deep dive your ADHD diagnosis. One thing i want you to take if you do this read this comment is. ADHD is a blessing and a curse wanting to do everything but also nothing at the same time. I am so proud of what you have achieved and can't wait to interview you one day on this channel!
Congratulations to you and your partner.. You've always said you wanted to be a father so im glad you're getting that chance... No ideas on book stuff but i just wanted to say that i love that you said you didnt like therapy but then go on to talk about all the stuff you got from it... I think thats really amazing 😁
Hi James, love your content, thank you. Having ADHD, I’m ok when I’m hyper focusing on my exercise and diet, however struggle when my concentration moves to another area of my life. In relation to the book, how to focus consistently on health and fitness whilst getting on with your other important responsibilities. 😊
I think community would be a cracking area to write about. I keep seeing stuff about longevity and this area but think you would give a great modern perspective of what community can be. Building platforms, friendships/relationships. A neurodivergent standpoint and fitness tribes. Dare I cough covid evolving/damaging it. But what ever you write about I’m sure there’s going to be a copy of it in our home 😊
Sincere congrats on upcoming dadship. It's a rough ride that I'd recommend over and over again but can put the relationship in a blender. Communicate. Communicate. Communicate!
Hey mate, it would be great to get your tips on managing your exercise regime once the baby arrives. I still struggle mentally taking 1-2 hrs away from our 3 year old because you only get a very little amount of time with little kids, they grow so fast, you don't want to miss anything.
Hey, James. Great video, really enjoyed it. Have you read the book 'The Unfair Advantage' by Ash Ali and Hasan Kubba? It was recommended to me, and I picked up a copy... I am totally "that guy" and I haven't started reading it yet, but I would like to, soon. I say "I would like to" because for a while, I developed what I feel is a positive habit, in that I was reading books at the gym... so, I'd do a set, set my time to a particular rest time, then read a page or more of a book, when the timer buzzed, it was onto my next set... but going back to "I would like to" because I fell out of that habit after some awful things happening in life, and have struggled to return to said habit. I actually did the above (reading books in the gym) with two of your books, being Not A Diet Coach and Not A Life Coach. Great books, by the way. Honestly, I have no suggestions as to what your next book should be titled, but I look forward to learning more about your next forth book. Congratulations to you and your partner on the pregnancy, all the best to you and your new family. Take care.
Disappointing news, but understandable. After your dog episodes, I was eagerly anticipating some parenting ones. Dr Anna Machin would have been good (you should read her book btw). PS congrats on the pregnancy, wonderful news
What about a book about, becoming a dad, obviously it would take a while before you had the info, but there is a lot of info about different ways about being a parent and how your lift changes, each chapter could be about say: health, job, etc.
Content creation/social media strategies/business maybe something like that. I noticed your UA-cam becoming more popular and wondered was this because you focused on it more or did you get some guidance/mentorship from somewhere else. Congratulations on becoming a Dad soon
Mate, I'd love to hear about your surfing learning experience. I'm an old codger of 47 and just learning. I noticed your board in the background, so I wanted to ask. Any decent advice on getting a decent pop-up, dealing with snakes on the line etc?
Just dropped you’re going to be a DAD to a child. Sorry…what? You dropped that bombshell at the end of the video! Many congratulations James!! Best of luck with your recovery ACL injuries are nasty!
Write the memoir of your life if you hadn’t taken the risks that have led to where you actually are. Would that alternative life had been better or worse or neutral? What insights would that thought experiment fleshed out in book form teach you and your readers that hasn’t already been explored if anything?
I did enjoy your podcasts but the volume quality was not there😂 I mostly run heavy equipment for a living and I could never hear it so I would get angry😂 even in my car. BUT. A book on Like ADHD or like easily distracted people or shit like that, I would read. Your books keep my attention, so that's a win!
id write a book about debunking fitness fads and nutrition nonsense! set people free!! JAMES SMITH - LET ME SET YOU FREE. Congrats on the pregnancy news also!!!
Dad to a 3 year old, good luck mate! Also tubby If you ever wanna swap fitness tips for dad tips hit me up. Here's a free one - between now and june sleep, sleep like you're a bear in a cave and its a long winter, the kind where your fingers fall off its so cold. You'll thank me.
heres some more because i'v watched like half your main channel and feel bad: - the imposter syndrome is gonna kick in regardless of how clued up you think you are. Don't look what other people are doing or how well their kids are getting on and worry. Cannot stress this enough, its all fun and games for your self but suddenly when you have a kid you start getting advice left right and centre and worry that the other kids in the baby group you have to be a part of are doing x y z and yours isn't, sod em do what you think is right. - It will most likely be the most testing time with your misses you have ever had, she'll be a bag of hormones + no sleep + fear of looking after little one. You wont know its happening until you catch you both acting like you'v not acted before . - First 6 months are a complete shit show. Has to be fed every 3hrs, they sleep, cry, shit, vomit. After this you just swap old challenges for new ones e.g. weeing, walking, teething etc. Its a wild ride but by about 2/3 they are almost a real human - mine went for a poo by her self last night i couldn't believe it. - If you get presents from people and they are clothes which are way too big and you're like WTF - these people 'Know', you need to maintain a cast iron loving relationship with these people because they know whats what. - You're gonna be in the dad club now. Your missis is gonna meet loads of new mums and you'll be meeting loads of new dads... its like having to talk to people you're queuing for a coffee with only now you'v gotta meet em all the time. Be prepared for boring pricks. - Top shit you need to have: Nappies, Plastic bags you can seal, Wet wipes, Sleep suits, a cot, a travel system car/pram/crib - one that is modular, changing mat, all the muslin cloths you can buy, all the cotton wool you can buy, a thermometer, a nose sucker thing - dont get an electric one they're shit, blanket - i'v prob forgotten some stuff.
@jamessmithpt man hug comin your way. Great, honest vid. Don't worry about the ACL stopping you from training BJJ. The kid will put a stop to that anyway! 😂🫣😉

great to hear how well life is for you. Much love to you James
just got to say congrats on the baby! crazy to watch the journey from the JSPT days to fatherhood!
Massive fan from South Africa! I am definitely going to miss listening to you during my commute. Totally understand this decision though. Congrats on being on such a good path that you have to give up something 🙃 #adulting
I feel like I've known you for years and years just following all your feeds and channels etc all that jazz, I'm chuffed for you bro congrats x

I LOVE when you talk business... Could we have a purely business book 🙏
I'm alright cheers James. We're basically the same age and from your content at least i think we have a very similar outlook on life. I had my daughter a year ago and expecting our 2nd in August (fingers crossed). You are going to love being a dad, get them on a little front pouch/back pack and take them for a walk down the beach and look at the sea - watch their little face.

Awesome! Congratulations! Looking forward to the chats! 😀
Write what interests you not what interests us. The energy you give what interests you will in turn interest us.
Disappointing news, but understandable. After your dog episodes, I was eagerly anticipating some parenting ones. Dr Anna Machin would have been good (you should read her book btw).
PS congrats on the pregnancy, wonderful news
Perhaps something to do with friendship. How they changes over the years. Long term, short term, and fall outs. Congrats on the bubba xx
Book on or including ADHD would be interesting. How to make the most of it, how to understand other people with it etc
Doing Okay, thanks for asking James
That white and blue Neutonic in the background casually 👀
Good luck and all the best with the baby
Congratulations on the pregnancy and good luck with the book, your content is amazing good luck for the future
Congratulations 🎉 you will be the best Dad...that'll be a whole new book 😊
What about a book about, becoming a dad, obviously it would take a while before you had the info, but there is a lot of info about different ways about being a parent and how your lift changes, each chapter could be about say: health, job, etc.
Content creation/social media strategies/business maybe something like that. I noticed your UA-cam becoming more popular and wondered was this because you focused on it more or did you get some guidance/mentorship from somewhere else. Congratulations on becoming a Dad soon
Much love James! Legend!
I spy a blue neutonic can, when’s it out James
I asked the same thing on a Insta Q&A, maybe can't say just yet
Well it won’t be out in Australia anytime soon
I’m keen to see if you can avoid boring the normies about BJJ. If you can let me know how.
Congrats on your Brown!
Mate, I'd love to hear about your surfing learning experience. I'm an old codger of 47 and just learning. I noticed your board in the background, so I wanted to ask. Any decent advice on getting a decent pop-up, dealing with snakes on the line etc?
Congrats on everything you do and especially a baby on the way xx
Miss the fairpoints pods
Becoming a father is going to be amazing, enjoy!
Not a parenting book coming 2025

Just dropped you’re going to be a DAD to a child. Sorry…what? You dropped that bombshell at the end of the video!
Many congratulations James!!
Best of luck with your recovery ACL injuries are nasty!
Loved this video, and new neutonic flavour???
Write the memoir of your life if you hadn’t taken the risks that have led to where you actually are. Would that alternative life had been better or worse or neutral? What insights would that thought experiment fleshed out in book form teach you and your readers that hasn’t already been explored if anything?
‘the How & the Why’
What's that wee blue tin addition in the background there?👀
Congrats on the baby fella ❤❤
Ahhhhhhhhh having a baby James that’s wonderful, you’re going to be an amazing father !!!!!!
I did enjoy your podcasts but the volume quality was not there😂 I mostly run heavy equipment for a living and I could never hear it so I would get angry😂 even in my car.
BUT. A book on Like ADHD or like easily distracted people or shit like that, I would read. Your books keep my attention, so that's a win!
