Hi, Iโ€™m James Dean โ€” Life Coach, Podcast Host, and Curious Human.

Iโ€™m the host of Whatโ€™s Important to You? โ€” a podcast dedicated to real, reflective conversations that uncover the stories, values, and breakthroughs that shape how we live, lead, and grow.

With a background in corporate life, personal development, and endurance sports (including Ironman training with three Labradors in tow), Iโ€™m deeply passionate about helping people reconnect with what matters most.

Each week on the show, I sit down with remarkable guests โ€” coaches, creatives, entrepreneurs, and change-makers โ€” to explore questions like:
What drives you? What have you overcome? And what are you learning now?

Itโ€™s not just a podcast โ€” itโ€™s a space for growth, clarity, and meaningful connection.

Whether youโ€™re in transition, looking for inspiration, or just love a good story with soul, youโ€™re in the right place.
