Day-in-the-life working and living in Marbella

This is one of the things I love about Spain, it just doesn't, it just has this beautiful nature to it and you can be in Marbella and then you're around places like this, you know, it's a busy city, it's like a busy hub of people and people all over Europe are here. It's not too warm either. It's not too warm, yeah exactly. So this morning I am on my way to record a podcast, not as the host but as the guest this time. As you may know I have a podcast myself which I really really enjoy doing and then sometimes it's a pleasure to go on somebody else's podcast. I really have no idea what we're going to talk about. He asked me if I would like to send him some questions or some talking points but I want him to just do the podcast that he wants and let's take the conversation wherever it naturally goes. Hi Basi, it's James, we're here. Hey, how are you? How are you? Looking good. Welcome, welcome. See you again. Always. It's all about the view. That's insane. It's funny as well because you always want to be ocean facing but actually this is so good. I asked everyone I knew and I got so many great locations but I would have to wait for those, you know, it's not as immediate as this one. I'm glad that we were able to line it up as well with everything. I saw you and I knew who you were because I was following you for a few, I actually followed you on YouTube first. Okay, cool. I saw some of your videos and I was like this guy is cool, you know, and then I saw your story on Instagram and I was like, is he my man? Yeah. You know it's so strange because with social media people you feel like they're almost like unreachable. Yeah. It's like there's some sort of like celebrity or idols or some sort but they're just human beings like everyone is just a human being. Yeah. Nobody's a god. I find a lot of the women here are actually older. Yes, they are. Yeah. The ones targeting us are older usually. Right. Because the young women look for older guys with lots of money. That's true, yeah. And the old women are already divorced and have the money. Yeah. And they want to spend some time with some, they want to feel younger, I guess. Yeah. That's kind of it. I have no objections. So at 1.30 we're meeting my friend James and we're going to do a workout together at one of my favorite gyms here. He used to be, well he still is a model actually but he's kind of a veteran of the industry so I want him to show some workout stuff that is more for the athletic physique especially for the taller leaner guys like myself. He has an interesting way of working out. All right man. Nice. Absolute pleasure. Nice to meet you. Yeah. I can't wait to see you. Chest. The point is is to make sure you fit in the clothes and for my body type and quite similar to yours I am 186 centimeters and my chest size for a suit is 40. Yeah. So I need to maintain that level. Yeah. And so if I do too much or I got too big I'm not going to fit in that which means I'm not working for that particular designer. Right. So it was really important to make sure you stay in your thing. You have to literally fit it. Yeah. And the thing I find really interesting and you know is just to know that everybody's body type is slightly different and so for modeling particularly mine is quite long and lean which is great for being a hanger for modeling right. Great for clothes but if you get too big it's not going to fit the clothes as nicely depending on the designer. Yeah. And literally the main designers are a lot smaller. Yeah. So you're not going to wear as in the U.S. it's a lot bigger. Just in case anybody's wondering somebody's already asked. James is not my dad. OK. We do look a little bit alike but he's not actually my dad. Let's talk about aging like a fine wine. What would you say have been some of your best recommendations. Well my best recommendation is definitely reducing the amount of stress you have in your life. And that is easier said than done. But I actually stopped drinking a long time ago. Yeah. And I believe for me that was a really wise decision and it was done purely because I recognized that drinking was putting a lot of stress on my body. Yeah. And not that it's wrong but for me I was like hey I think I'm going to maybe refrain from this because I used to drink excessively. Yeah. And I really believe that not drinking and having a really clean diet has really helped me age really really well. Yeah. What do you like for the chest. Your turn. For the chest I really like incline because it shows this part here on the when you have a vest or you have a maybe an open shirt you get to see this part. Yeah. I really like that. Yeah. And if it's really you get a nice line. Yeah. I also like doing dumbbells as well. Again it's just for this part. Yeah. So I find it aesthetically pleasing. You can show me that there. We could do that or you could use the cross. Yeah. The cables are the best because you actually get the correct momentum. The gentleman always rewracks his weights. Would you say that the size of the models has trended larger. Yeah. Over the last few years. Well absolutely. I think things have changed and I think it's nice to see evolution. I don't like to see everything is the same. Yeah. I like to see healthy is what I like to see. Yeah. And I think that your health and vitality shows in pictures. Yeah. And that's why I really look for now. So when I'm breezing through men's magazines and luxury magazines I'm looking to see are they actually the real deal. Yeah. Now you also are a wellness coach. Yeah. For a lot of I'd imagine that your most of your clients are maybe 40s 50s 60s. Yeah. What's the main reason you think a lot of them give up or struggle with fitness and health. Well a lot of people struggle is because they are so invested in their business. And if you're running between four and 80 companies and a lot of my clients are have many sit on the board for many many companies. Yeah. The one thing that becomes really tricky is where do I have time for me when I'm having to be so available to something on the end of a phone or an email. Yeah. In every moment. And then your family's demanding time of you. So fitness can become one of the things that they put to the bottom of the pile of what you value the most. Yeah. You can get by in any country with only three hand gestures the bill. But yeah podcast is a big priority for me next year. One every week. I did one every week for two years. Wow. That's impressive. I've done 203 before. Now I'm telling you there's a lot of work doing everywhere. It is a lot of work. Oh go go go go. This is a pretty drive actually what we're about to do. We're going to go through the back. We're going to the office because I'm going to do a meeting albeit virtually. As excited as I am to talk about this project it is something I need to keep under wraps just for now. But as always you can find the links to anything that we're doing outside and beyond of YouTube in the description. The products are amazing but we need to plan the packaging the branding when we're actually going to release this stuff. How much we're going to sell it for all of that kind of stuff. So we've not caught up for a few weeks. I love being being able to be at home or like being able to just work from wherever. But it's also kind of nice to have that routine of coming to work every day. This will already be out by the time that they watch this but this is a video about my watch because I've had people ask about this watch ever since I started making videos. So I thought I would finally address it and tell the story and I'm happy with how the video is looking. So I'll just get this uploaded and then we're going to hit the road and take a nice sunset drive. It's exciting times James. I didn't think I would need one of these. It's the same color as the suit. I kind of like the monochrome thing but I got two different sizes. Suit jacket almost look like a coat. Yeah you're gonna have to tell me which size fits best. Fits well in the arms. Does it fit? Yeah it fits. Yeah. Where's it from? A suit supply. My favorite store. They haven't sent me any free stuff yet. Where's it based? My favorite store. They're from Amsterdam actually. Oh nice. Yeah but they have they have a store in Madrid. They have some in London. Not around here though. Oh man I love this so much. I love convertibles so much. It's just like the happiest f***ing thing. I told her that if you've enjoyed this video I'd like to remind you that the window is currently open to apply for our private members club. You'll find the link down in the description.
