Hey Life Athletes, welcome to episode 112 of the Life Athletics podcast!
Today’s guest Life Athlete is James Jai Harvey.
James is the author of a language book called Learning Indonesian by Association. This stemmed from his desire to be able to communicate with an Indonesian woman - it’s safe to safe that this project was borne out of passion and intention.
For the most part, Jai truly wanted to learn the Indonesian language so he took courses but they have proven to only work to a certain degree. Whenever he went on trips and traveled, he came back with more new words than when he completed a language course. This gave him the idea that learning via word association is more effective - and so he launched his book project.
"If you want it and it doesn't exist, go ahead and do it."
James believes in supporting and helping others to bring out the best in themselves.
"My well-being is way more important than having cash in the bank."
