Since 2010, James has been supporting a variety of businesses in the San Diego area. Several of these businesses were start-​ups managed by thirty-​somethings, i.e. mid-​career professionals. These experiences helped James realize that there is a lot more to learn about business than what occurs in many companies and hence the founding of Personal Business Trainer.
