Lisa is joined by James Sweigert to talk about his book, If You Say So: My Story and How I Changed It To Save My Life.
James Sweigert’s childhood was challenging, to say the least. The youngest of seven, his family was shattered when his father left just after he was born, and his mother later married another man with five children of his own.

Today James is a successful executive producer and director in film and television and coaches many creative executives and celebrities in Hollywood. He has built, run and sold several multi-million dollar, award winning production companies in Hollywood.
