Posting a video about the exciting venture, a dog food company that provides dry food with all the nutritional value of raw food, James wrote: "I remember sitting in the therapist's chair with Ella by my side having taken a leave of absence from my company Boomf to focus on my clinical depression, with tears in my eyes I said 'what am I going to do next', I had zero confidence & I felt like a complete failure."
