James Hargis is an Motivational Speaker / Life Coach making his contribution to improving humanity, one person at a time.

The early years
James was born on the South-side of Chicago (Oak Lawn, IL), on March 26, 1961. He grew up in Chicago,IL; Fox, Arkansas; Bay Minette, Alabama and currently lives in Burlington, Wisconsin. His flowered work history through his 20's may be typical of the average person; he was looking for the one field that was to be the "one". After going blind for 2-years in the early 1990's, he found something that felt like the 'one'; it was working in the Technology field.

Later Years
After investing 20-years in the Technology field supporting and building servers, networks, business relations and stream-lining workflows, James hit his 'per se' mid-life crisis. This was a critical time and life changing event for him. It was this event that caused James to do an internal dive to begin the journey of learning why he (the greater we) did the things he did. Looking for clarity on his true purpose in life - the greater question of Why are we here? This was the time of discovering and understanding the 'why' question.

In 2018, James began his new career as a Transformational Motivational public speaker.
