Episode 11 – James Brackin IV (@jamesbrackiniv) is the host of the You Can Too podcast, a podcast that dives into the wisdom of entrepreneurs, creators, and thought leaders on how to win at life both internally & externally. He is also a coach who helps people interrupt self-sabotage so they reach the next level of their life.
