In part 2 of James' story, we explore topics like mental health and the impact racism has had on the older generation which does not get talked about often.
We discuss how getting rejected led to a complete redirection in his career.
- Why it is so important to know your strengths, weaknesses, and capabilities.
- Communicating to express not impress
- Why does being confident intimidate other people.
- Feast and farming of being a creative artist and why even though from a financial perspective working for yourself is harder and sometimes not as lucrative but it is worth it from a mental wealth perspective.
- Getting underpaid despite being more qualified than other colleagues
