169: Processed Food Is Quietly Wrecking Entrepreneurs with Abel James - 7FL

This episode is part of our 7FL (7-figure lessons) series of Beyond A Million, where we interview entrepreneurs who are skyrocketing to the top!

Could your food choices be the reason you're tired, foggy, and underperforming?

In this episode of Beyond A Million, Brad sits down with Abel James, a multifaceted entrepreneur best known as the author of The Wild Diet and host of The Fat-Burning Man podcast. Abel started making money from music online as a teenager, before most people even realized the potential of the internet. But his path took a wild turn in his early 20s when, despite following his doctor’s advice, he found himself overweight, exhausted, and wrecked.

After a house fire destroyed everything he owned, he shifted his life and went deep into self-experimentation, flipping conventional nutrition on its head. What he found transformed his health and became the foundation of his entrepreneurial endeavors. Today, Abel is focused on investing, advising, and creative exploration—leveraging his experience to help others scale meaningfully, not just endlessly.

If you want to take back control of your health and business, this episode is for you.

Tune in.
