Today's guest is Jim Murphy, author of Inner Excellence — the book that NFL star AJ Brown was literally reading on the sidelines before a playoff game.
Jim went from chasing fame as a pro baseball player to finding peace in the desert — literally — and now coaches elite athletes on how to perform at their best without losing their soul.
In this episode, we dive deep into how to let go of the pressure, master your ego, and find joy in the process — not just the win.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
✅ Why chasing results will never make you happy
✅ How to master your ego (instead of letting it master you)
✅ The mindset that separates the good from the great
