Tony Horton says that as you age, you can still sprint uphill, climb ropes, and ski from the top of the mountain— if you start training smart.

You wake up tired, you skip mobility work, and you tell yourself you will “get back to it” next week. Sound familiar? 

This “Success for the Athletic-Minded Man” episode will stop that loop and replace it with something practical. I sat with Tony Horton, the creator of P90X, and we ripped through what actually keeps you strong, fast, and useful as you age. No fluff. No bro science. Just real tactics you can apply today.

Tony is 67 and still runs hill sprints, climbs ropes, and skis Jackson Hole. He also got hurt, fixed the weak links, and rebuilt his body around balance, range of motion, and recovery. 

We talk concrete moves like animal flow drills that force mobility and core strength, hill-sprint protocols you can scale, why short, focused sessions beat long, sloppy ones for busy men, and how to change your day with a 10-minute routine, and why the people you hang with decide whether you stay consistent.

Tony’s entire game plan is practical: keep your body durable so you can keep doing what you love. Expect solid step-by-step choices, and a reality check on diet and recovery that might make you uncomfortable, and should.

If you done with half-effort solutions, this episode hands you specific next moves. Walk away with at least two daily rituals you can start tonight and a framework for staying in the fight for decades. Now, ask yourself, who do you want to be with your body at 70?

“Comfortable Drift” costs you money, time with your kids, and years off your life. I walk you through the cost, the cure, and the first steps you can take this week.

You can be winning at work and still drifting in the parts of life that matter most.

In this episode of “Success for the Athletic-Minded Man,” I break down what “comfortable drift” looks like, why high performers fall into it, how to spot the warning signs, what it’s costing you in your health, relationships, purpose, and peace of mind, and what to do before years slip by and you realize you’ve been paddling in circles the whole time.

This isn’t just about burnout or lack of motivation. It’s about the danger of delayed consequences. 

When the pain is not immediate, it’s easy to stay stuck in routines that feel productive but lead nowhere. That’s why this episode is about more than awareness. It’s about action.

I share the practical framework I use with clients to break out of drift: pause long enough to think, get clear on where you want to go, set aligned goals, surround yourself with the right people, and build a plan that helps you follow through for the long haul.

If you’ve been working hard but feeling off course, this episode will help you stop drifting and start moving with intention. Hit play now!

If you believe coaching is only for the weak, listen to the guy who helps world leaders and Formula One drivers maximize their performance.

Most guys think high performance comes from pushing harder. James Laughlin makes the case that it starts somewhere else.

In this episode of “Success for the Athletic-Minded Man,” I sit down with James Laughlin, author of “Habits of High Performers” and a coach who has worked with the All Blacks, world champions, top CEOs, and even national leaders.

James brings a refreshing perspective on what it actually takes to perform at a high level without burning yourself out.

He shares why going alcohol-free changed everything for him, from his energy and focus to the way he shows up as a husband, father, and coach. 

We talk about the connection between hormones and performance, why sleep and meditation matter more than most men realize, and how clarity drives better decisions. 

He also explains why top performers still rely on coaches, and how failure can become one of your greatest tools for growth if you know how to process it the right way.

If you’ve been working hard but still feel stuck or stretched thin, this episode will challenge your assumptions and give you practical tools you can use right away. No fluff. No vague pep talk. Just action you can take today to stop spinning and start producing. Listen now.

Thirty days of small, brutal consistency beats one weekend of heroics, every time. Want habits that last? Hear what worked for these 7 high-achieving men.

Stop punishing yourself with one-size-fits-all challenges, start building a short-term test that creates long-term wins. I show you how we did it.

You do not need another generic challenge to “fix your life” just to feel like you failed by Thanksgiving.

In this episode of “Success for the Athletic-Minded Man,” I talk with seven driven men who took on the On the Path October Challenge, a custom 30-day challenge built around one core principle: stop borrowing rules that don’t fit your life and start tracking the habits that actually move the needle.

Because if you’re a high achiever, you already know what to do. The real problem is drift. You get buried in work, you live in reaction mode, and the stuff that matters most gets whatever’s left. Then you tell yourself you’ll “get back on track” next week... Or next month… Or after things slow down.

This challenge is designed to break that pattern.

These men created custom, achievable challenges built on follow-through rather than hype. You’ll hear how small, targeted commitments sharpened their energy, focus, and discipline, and how public tracking made it a lot harder to talk a good game and then disappear when life got busy.

I also walk you through the framework so you can build your own, starting today: how to choose the right habits, keep them realistic but still challenging, set up accountability, track a simple scorecard, and avoid the overreach that leads to burnout.

Hit play now and build your 30-day challenge today. Stop letting “busy” decide who you become.

“You can’t talk your way out of something you behaved your way into.” That line changed a Fortune 500 company, and it should change how you lead your team.

When a Fortune 500 company is literally ringed in razor wire, you don’t pep-talk your way out— you do the hard, specific work of rebuilding trust.

In this “Success for the Athletic-Minded Man” episode, I sit down with Doug Conant, the CEO who walked into Campbell Soup with plunging sales, a disengaged workforce, and a headquarters in one of America’s most dangerous cities, and left it with the highest employee engagement score in the Fortune 500. 

Doug’s a student-athlete-turned-CEO who learned early that discipline matters. He played tennis at Northwestern, coached there, survived the LBO chaos at Nabisco, and then dug in at Campbell. 

He tells the story straight, how Gallup called Campbell the worst engagement case they’d seen, how Doug’s first day included firing the CFO, and how he and his team rebuilt an organization by showing up with consistency, respect, and tough-minded compassion. 

We unpack practical moves: measurable engagement targets, replacing leaders who can’t buy in, the “living, loving, learning, leaving a legacy” playbook Doug used, and the daily habits: the morning reflection, the commute rituals, the weekly appreciation, that let him be present for both the company and his family. 

If you run a business or a team and want concrete, repeatable methods for turning disengaged people into relentless team members, this episode is your field guide. Don’t miss it!

After you listen, if you’re thinking, “How do I use this in my day-to-day?”, Doug just launched STEPS (Success Through Empowering Professional Support), a leadership course built specifically for administrative professionals, taught by Doug himself. Use my code Harshaw10 for a discount.

Your business or career isn't being held back by a lack of skill or effort. It's being sabotaged by the mental operating system you're running in high-pressure moments.

Michael Chandler, one of the best UFC fighters in the world, told me he was "a small kid from a small town, taught to think small.” Your default wiring is sabotaging you the same way, even if you don't realize it.

You work hard. You show up. You prepare. But when it matters most— the big presentation, the crucial client meeting, the career-defining conversation— you're not showing up as your best self. 

I spent years learning this the hard way: performance under pressure isn't about how hard you work, it's about what's running through your head when the stakes are high.

In this “Success for the Athletic-Minded Man” episode, I'm giving you 10 mental performance tactics that helped me overcome years of self-doubt and now help high-achieving professionals dominate when pressure's on.

We're covering breath work that drops your stress response in under a minute, visualization techniques that flip the switch into flow state, and the mindset shift that turns anxiety into your advantage. 

Whether you're leading a team meeting, closing a deal, or navigating a difficult conversation, you're about to discover what separates people who perform from people who just prepare. 

Tune in now because your next big moment deserves better than nerves and self-doubt.

If your team can’t challenge each other, you can’t win together.

The most dangerous person on your team isn’t the lazy one. It’s the conflict-avoider.

If your team looks good on paper but feels slow in real life, this episode of “Success for the Athletic-Minded Man” will hit a nerve.

I sat down with Keith Ferrazzi, bestselling author of “Never Eat Alone” and one of the sharpest minds on high-performing teams, to talk about what actually separates elite groups from polite, mediocre ones.

We get into why most teams fall into a hub-and-spoke trap where everything runs through the leader, and how “conflict avoidance” quietly creates politics, longer cycle times, and endless follow-up meetings. 

Keith also breaks down how to build candor and psychological safety with simple practices like “stress testing” an initiative, not to tear someone down, but to make sure the team doesn’t let them fail.

We also zoom out to the future of work and AI. Keith’s message is clear: curiosity and reinvention are the new job security. If you want to lead without authority, earn real buy-in, and build team accountability that performs under pressure, this one’s for you.

Listen in if you’re done with busy meetings and slow execution and want practical ways to raise the standard without blowing up trust.

If you want consistency, stop seeking motivation and build an environment that demands follow through.

You’re not lazy. You’re not broken. But if you keep living on autopilot, you’re going to wake up 2, 5, or 10 years from now thinking, “I thought I’d be further ahead in life by now…”

In this solo episode of “Success for the Athletic-Minded Man,” I’m calling out the biggest trap high-achieving men fall into: confusing motion with progress.

You can crush your to-do list and still be drifting because you’re not measuring what actually moves the needle.

I’ll break down the Hawthorne Effect, the simple (and brutal) truth that performance improves when it’s observed. (Translation: awareness beats willpower every time.) 

Then I’ll show you how to use the Productive Pause™ to step out of the chaos, get the general’s view of your life, and set the right leading indicators in your fitness, marriage, and business.

After this episode, you’ll walk away knowing exactly what to track, how to build real accountability, and the one weekly check in that makes consistency automatic instead of “hoping you feel motivated.” Tune in now!

One pitch ended Mike Robbins’ baseball dream, and forced the question most men avoid: “Now what?”

If your identity is built on performance, one setback can turn your whole life into a free fall.

Mike Robbins lived that… literally. 

He was a Stanford pitcher chasing the big leagues when one pitch blew out his arm, and eventually forced the gut-level conversation with his family: “I gotta hang it up.” 

No jersey retirement. No victory lap. Just the sudden death of the plan he’d been living for since he was seven, and the question most high-achieving men avoid because it’s terrifying: Who am I when the thing I’m best at gets taken away?

In this episode of “Success for the Athletic-Minded Man,” Mike and I go straight into the uncomfortable truth: discipline is a weapon, but it’s a terrible identity.

When you’re wired to “win at all costs,” you can look unstoppable on paper while quietly bleeding out in real life— stress up, connection down, and that constant pressure to act like you’ve got it handled. In this conversation, you’ll see exactly where that mindset helps and where it starts costing you your peace, your relationships, and your ability to actually enjoy the life you’re building.

You’ll also walk away with tools you can use immediately: a simple way to name what’s really going on in your life, a new lens on imposter syndrome that turns it into fuel instead of shame, and one practical 24-hour action step Mike gives to get unstuck. 

If you’ve been trying to “discipline” your way out of a problem that requires support, this episode will give you the reset— and the next move.

You’ve been told to “believe in yourself” your whole life, but no one showed you how. 

The version of you that gets the results you want thinks differently than you do right now.

If positive thinking actually worked, you wouldn’t still be stuck… and that uncomfortable truth is exactly where this episode begins. 

I’m breaking down why mindset for success isn’t about hype, surface-level motivation, or repeating clichés you’ve heard since high school sports. It’s about the deep, subconscious beliefs that quietly drive your behavior, your confidence, and ultimately your results.

I’ve watched high-achieving men grind themselves into exhaustion—great work ethic, strong discipline, yet still battling self-doubt, imposter syndrome, and that invisible ceiling that never seems to move. In this episode, I show you why belief drives behavior, why identity beats willpower, and how elite performers build a high-performance mindset before the wins show up.

You’ll hear real examples— from broken confidence to inspired action— and I’ll walk you through 8 tactical mindset habits you can actually use: from a success log and daily mantras to state-shifting techniques that reset you in minutes.

This isn’t theory. This is the missing link between effort and outcomes. And once you see it, you won’t unsee it.

If your identity is tied to your results, you’re one bad day away from collapse— and Jim Murphy is here to prove it.

The moment you stop trying to prove yourself is the moment you actually start performing.

What if your obsession with winning is the very thing keeping you from performing like a champion?

In this “Success for the Athletic-Minded Man” episode, I sit down with Jim Murphy, the mind behind Inner Excellence and the book “The Best Possible Life,” whose work quietly shows up in some wild places— like on the NFL sidelines in the hands of All-Pro wide receiver A.J. Brown. 

We talk about mental toughness under pressure, not as a cliché, but as a spiritual, heart-level skill set for real life: sales pitches, hard conversations, big presentations, and yes, Game 7 moments.

Jim shares how losing his dream as a professional baseball player, moving to the desert, and giving away over half his possessions led him to a radical idea— if your heart is chasing possessions, achievements, looks, money, and status, you will never feel free, no matter how “successful” you get.

If you’ve ever been results-obsessed, anxious, or secretly afraid of losing love and approval when you fail, this conversation will punch you in the gut, and then hand you a way out. Tune in now!

Ever notice how “less qualified” people pass you? 

Most men are imprisoned by beliefs they never chose. This episode hands you the key.

You don’t rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your beliefs, and most men never check theirs.

Some high-achieving men are stuck not because of skill gaps, but belief gaps. 

You can have the résumé, the discipline, the work ethic… and still hit the same ceiling year after year.

That’s why grinding harder won’t save you. More productivity hacks, more hustle, more late nights— they just help you stay stuck faster. What you really need is a Cognitive Conversion: a mindset shift that finally aligns what you believe with what you’re capable of.

In this “Success for the Athletic-Minded Man” episode, I give you the exact process I use to break the beliefs that quietly sabotage your career, health, and relationships.

You’ll walk away with a MAPS method checklist to engineer an environment of excellence, a ruthless journaling for clarity script to expose the lies you tell yourself, and a simple cognitive restructuring framework to turn self-doubt into execution.

Warning: some of this will challenge what you’ve accepted as “truth.” The scarcity mindset keeping you cautious, the toxic self-talk you let slide, the people you allow to drain your identity— it all ends here.

Most men will stay stuck because changing beliefs feels uncomfortable. But discomfort is where champions are built.

If you’re tired of working harder than average and still feeling average, hit play. This is where identity shifts, consistency sticks, and real momentum begins.

Brian Michel couldn’t run a mile… then he ran 100— and built a business rooted in purpose.

What if the life that looks “successful” on paper is the one keeping you stuck?

Most men think success means stability: a good job, solid income, steady life. But what if that comfort is the very thing keeping you stuck?

In this episode of “Success for the Athletic-Minded Man” podcast, I sit down with Brian Michel, an executive coach, ultra-endurance athlete, entrepreneur, and our newest Pathfinder Coach, who left corporate comfort to chase something bigger. 

We talk about how he went from a “good job” to a great life, the mindset that carried him through 100-mile races, and how faith and active surrender helped him find peace in uncertainty.

Brian also shares the two-year plan that made his leap possible, the lessons he learned balancing family, business, and faith, and how intentional living helped him finally align his work with his purpose.

What if the missing piece to your success isn’t another strategy, but learning to let go?

Confidence isn’t built in the gym or the boardroom, it’s built in how you think when no one’s watching.

You don’t need another “how-to” to feel confident. 

You already know what to do— eat better, train harder, be more consistent. But confidence isn’t about information. It’s about what you believe when things get hard.

In this “Success for the Athletic-Minded Man” episode, I unpack how faith (yes, even if yours looks different than mine) can be the missing link between striving and peace. 

I’ll walk you through the four enemies of confidence every high-performing man faces, and how faith flips each one on its head.

You’ll hear stories of Kyle Guy stepping up to the free-throw line with everything on the line, A.J. Brown finding peace in pressure, and lessons I learned firsthand after quitting my job right before COVID hit.

But this isn’t a sermon, it’s a conversation about what it really means to perform with calm, clarity, and conviction. 

Whether you’re a man of faith or just someone searching for something steadier to stand on, this one will challenge how you think about confidence forever.

If working harder was the answer, why are so many high performers burned out, over-caffeinated, and sleep deprived?

What if the secret to sustainable success isn’t more hustle, but better habits? 

In this episode of “Success for the Athletic-Minded Man” podcast, I sit down with Todd Durkin— internationally recognized strength and conditioning coach, motivational speaker, and best-selling author who’s trained legends like Drew Brees, Michael Chandler, Olympic medalists, and top entrepreneurs. 

Todd’s reputation is elite, but what makes this conversation powerful is how real he gets about his own battles with burnout, injury, and rebuilding his mindset from the ground up.

After listening to Todd, you’ll walk away with: the 3-2-1 evening routine that fixes your sleep and sets up your mornings, the Productive Pause that turns chaos into clarity, and his WLAGs system— weekly reflections on wins, losses, ahas, and goals— that will change how you lead yourself and your team. 

We also unpack how to reverse engineer a 10-year dream into daily action and why scheduling “blue-sky time” (strategic planning) and “mellow-yellow time” (true rest) is the real growth hack most men ignore.

But Todd’s not just talking theory, he’s put together his own October Challenge habits for you to take on.

You already know what you should be doing— working out, making the sales calls, being more present at home. 

The problem isn’t knowledge. The problem is execution. 

In this episode of “Success for the Athletic-Minded Man” podcast, I break down the framework that turns “I’ll start tomorrow” into “I did it today!”

From my years as a Division I wrestler to building a coaching community of high-achieving men, I’ve seen one truth over and over: clarity, commitment, and accountability beat motivation every single time. That’s why men crush challenges like 75 Hard, Whole30, or Exodus 90— and why my clients start getting results before the program even begins.

I’ll show you why making a public commitment instantly upgrades your discipline, how the Hawthorne Effect can change your habits overnight, and why “holding yourself accountable” is one of the biggest lies in personal development.

This isn’t theory. It’s a system you can start doing today to finally do the things you know you’re capable of.

👉 And if you’re ready for real accountability, join the October Challenge— a 30-day reset built for men who want clarity, consistency, and discipline before the year ends.

You’re not afraid of failure. You’re afraid people will see you fail. 

The good news? No one will remember.

Success doesn’t happen DESPITE failure. It comes BECAUSE of it. 

And the research proves it.

Success doesn’t come to the man who never fails. That man doesn’t exist. Success comes to the one who knows how to turn failure into fuel.

In this episode of “Success for the Athletic-Minded Man,” I dive deep into the role of failure in success and why it’s not just inevitable— it’s essential.

From Tom Hopkins’ bold take to Tim Ferriss’ reminder that failure only matters if you learn from it, I unpack powerful insights and research from the Kellogg School of Business and Harvard Business Review that prove failing fast and trying again is one of the greatest predictors of long-term success.

You’ll hear stories of world-class performers who turned their struggles into stepping stones: bestselling author Steven Pressfield battling decades of rejection before writing “The War of Art,” Olympic champion Helen Maroulis overcoming self-doubt to win gold, and blind adventurer Erik Weihenmayer conquering Everest and the Grand Canyon. 

I even share my own business failure, what it cost me, and why it ultimately made me more qualified to succeed.

If you’ve been holding back because you’re afraid to fail, this episode will flip that fear on its head and show you how to leverage failure as your greatest advantage. Listen now!

Dean King got shot at, crossed the Sahara by camel, and still says the real challenge is letting go of control.

Comfort is the slowest form of failure, and most men don’t notice it until it’s too late.

Men who step into the hard stuff aren’t thrill-seekers— they’re just done pretending comfort leads anywhere worth going.

Most men don’t need more comfort; they need a good punch in the gut from reality.

In this “Success for the Athletic-Minded Man” episode, I sit down with Dean King, award-winning author of “Skeletons on the Zahara,” “Guardians of the Valley,” and a dozen other nonfiction thrillers. 

But these aren’t just stories— Dean lives them. 

He’s survived camel-back expeditions across the Sahara, dodged bullets in West Virginia while researching the Hatfields and McCoys, and walked the Portuguese Camino with his daughter, all in pursuit of truth, purpose, and a damn good story.

This one is for the man stuck in his business, career, or routine— searching for clarity, momentum, or maybe just his edge. We talk about the value of discomfort, why letting go of control is often the key to growth, and how to find purpose through adversity. 

If you’ve ever felt like you’re going through the motions, this episode will remind you what it means to feel alive again.

You’ll walk away with lessons on mindset, resilience, and how to architect small (or massive) adventures that pull you out of the fog and back into a life of clarity, confidence, and meaning.

You say you want to grow— but not if it’s uncomfortable.

If it doesn’t suck a little, it’s probably not worth doing.

Do you want to grow? But do you also want comfort? 

You can’t have both.

In this episode of “Success for the Athletic-Minded Man,” I revisit one of my most replayed— and most needed— episode about the role of pain and discomfort in personal growth, mental toughness, and living a meaningful life. 

Whether you’re building a business, chasing a goal weight, or trying to reignite your relationships, you’re going to face resistance. And that’s a good thing.

Ross Bernstein has been in more championship locker rooms than most coaches— what he found in them might change the way you lead.

You’ve heard of speaking on stages... but what about a keynote on a research vessel off the coast of Antarctica? 

That’s just one of the wild stories Ross Bernstein brings to this episode— but the real gold lies in his hard-earned insights on championship team culture, elite leadership, and the line between gamesmanship and integrity.

Ross has interviewed over 1,000 pro athletes, written 50+ books, and keynoted on seven continents. But what matters most? What he’s learned about the DNA of winning teams, and how that applies to your boardroom, locker room, or even your very own living room.

In this episode of “Success for the Athletic-Minded Man” podcast, we talk about what great leaders actually do, why culture isn’t fluff, and how to build your own Environment of Excellence. 

After listening to this, you’ll walk away challenged, maybe a little uncomfortable— and that’s a good thing.

If you’re a leader at work, at home, or in your community, this conversation will challenge the way you think about winning. Because it’s not about being the best guy in the room, it’s about being the one they’ll follow when everything’s on the line.

If you're constantly saying “I don’t have enough time,” it’s not because your calendar is full… it’s because prioritizing the wrong things.

I’ve worked with hundreds of high-achieving men— former athletes, business leaders, and busy professionals— and one theme comes up again and again: they struggle to make time for what matters most.

In this solo episode of “Success for the Athletic-Minded Man,” I break down the three real reasons high-achieving men stay stuck in the loop of busyness— and more importantly, how to break out.

You’ll hear why your lack of direction is costing you more than you think, why leadership isn’t about having a title but about managing your life, and how your environment might be sabotaging your success without you even realizing it.

I’m not offering hacks or feel-good mantras. I’m giving you the exact mindset shift that helped one of my clients go from stuck and unfocused to energized, dialed-in... and running for Congress.

So if you’re tired of watching your potential collect dust while you chase low-impact tasks, this episode is for you.

Forget the hacks. Let’s fix the root. Tune in now!

They saw a disability. Anthony Robles saw an opportunity– .and he’s got the medals (and scars) to show for it.

He was born without a right leg. Doctors had no answers. 

At five years old, he climbed a 50-foot pole by himself. 

By 22, he was an NCAA champion.

This is the story of Anthony Robles— a three-time All-American wrestler, the 2011 NCAA National Champion, and a Nike-sponsored athlete who turned every so-called “limitation” into a competitive edge.

In this “Success for the Athletic-Minded Man” episode, Anthony reveals the mindset that made him unstoppable: from walking into his first wrestling practice just to “see what he was capable of,” to breaking a Guinness World Record, building a speaking business, and becoming a powerful example for anyone chasing personal greatness.

We get into mental toughness, building a resilience game plan, the exact moment he nearly quit and the unexpected letters from a third-grade classroom that pulled him back in.

This isn’t inspiration for inspiration’s sake. This is a tactical, real-world masterclass in overcoming adversity, leveraging what you’ve got, and dominating in life— not just sport.

If you’ve got a list of excuses, this episode will tear it up and hand you a better one: a game plan.

22 men walked into the Pathfinder Retreat. What they left with wasn’t what they expected.

What happens when a room full of high-performing men— entrepreneurs, executives, husbands, and dads— drop their titles, leave the chaos behind, and finally get real?

In this “Success for the Athletic-Minded Man” episode, I take you behind the scenes at the very successful 2025 Pathfinder Retreat, so you can also benefit from what we learned at the comfort of your own home.

We came together last May to sharpen our edge professionally. But what happened had little to do with tactics and everything to do with vulnerability, honest reflection, and resetting what really matters.

I’m breaking down the 13 unexpected lessons that emerged from that weekend. From why “low-hanging fruit tastes just as good” to what one guy called “Good Dude Ville”— and why that oddly perfect phrase might just unlock your next breakthrough.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in your head, pulled in too many directions, or like you're succeeding on the outside but drifting on the inside, this one’s for you.

And at the very end of the episode, I’ll share the story and the exact strategy I used when I was sitting in the stands in tears after losing at the NCAA Championships... the same strategy I shared with the men at the retreat to help them stay on fire long after the retreat ended. Let’s dive in!

What if your next drink is quietly costing you $684?

Could quitting alcohol be the simplest, most underrated high-performance move of your life?

You don’t have to hit rock bottom to be sabotaging your potential… just pour another “harmless” drink.

In this “Success for the Athletic-Minded Man” episode, I sit down with James Swanwick, former ESPN anchor turned founder of Alcohol-Free Lifestyle, who exposes a truth that most high achievers don’t want to hear: even moderate drinking might be the very thing keeping you from peak performance.

From that moment at IHOP to building a 7-figure business and landing a dream job at ESPN (with zero TV experience), James walks us through how ditching alcohol became his ultimate unfair advantage.

We unpack the neuroscience of alcohol, the social lies we believe about “bonding” and celebration, and how most men are paying a massive cost— in energy, focus, and money— without even realizing it. 

You’ll also hear how one beer could be costing you $684 a night, and what you can do about it starting today.

Think you’re performing at your best? You might just be drinking your edge away. 

This is another important conversation you don’t wanna miss, so hit that play button now and share this with someone who’s ready to stop settling for average and start performing at their full potential.

Rapid change isn’t magic— it’s a system. Here are the 9 ways to make it work…

Reading more books or listening to more podcasts won’t change your life. But this 9-step framework will… and fast.

In this episode of the “Success for the Athletic-Minded Man” podcast, I reveal the real reason why some people stay stuck— despite discipline, drive, and doing “all the right things.”

We’re going to talk about the 9-step rapid change framework I’ve used to help hundreds of men go from frustrated to fulfilled in a matter of weeks. 

This isn’t theory. It’s the same system my clients (they’re called Pathfinders) are using to drop weight, reconnect with their families, and finally get momentum in their careers.

I’ll walk you step-by-step through the exact process: from getting clear on your “why” to building real accountability, feedback loops, and daily habits that actually stick.

If you’re done feeling like you’re “almost” there, this is the episode that closes that gap.

You’ll never outperform the man you believe you are. Anthony Trucks breaks down the real reason why you're stuck.

What if the biggest reason you're stuck… is you?

In this “Success for the Athletic-Minded Man” episode with former NFL player turned transformation expert Anthony Trucks, we unpack how identity— not tactics— is the true lever of transformation, and why success without self-worth is a dangerous trap most high-achieving men fall into.

Anthony shares how he hit rock bottom— divorced, broke, hungover in a condo— and how a single realization gave him back his power: “I was the common denominator in all of my problems.” 

From there, he built his comeback on what he calls “Dark Work,” the unseen grind that forges real, lasting change.

If you’re a former athlete, a high-performer, or just a man who knows there’s another level inside of you, but keeps hitting a wall, this episode is for you. 

We also talk about performance psychology, discipline, and the difference between chasing praise vs. earning pride.

This is a masterclass on doing the gritty and powerful work that changes who you are, so you can finally create the life you say you want. Tune in now!

I didn’t become an All-American until I gave up trying to win. Sounds crazy, right? But it changed everything.

I used to think success was all about doing “more”— more reps, more work, more grind. 

But the truth hit me like a Mack truck… inside a packed arena with 19,000 people watching a nobody beat an Olympic gold medalist.

In this “Success for the Athletic-Minded Man” episode, I unpack what I witnessed at the NCAA Wrestling Championships: An underdog mindset masterclass featuring Wyatt Hendrickson and Olympic gold medalist Gable Stevenson.

We dive deep into why seeds don’t matter, why letting go of outcomes can unlock elite performance, and how to build an Environment of Excellence that turns potential into results.

You’ll also learn the 3 essential ingredients every underdog needs to win— on the mat, in business, or in life. 

This episode isn’t just for the competitive man who feels like he’s falling short, despite doing everything right.

If you’re chasing big goals and still wondering why you’re not seeing results, this is the perspective shift you’ve been missing.

Chasing revenue is the fastest way to stay stuck. Luke Peters built an $80M business by doing the opposite.

Everyone wants an 8-figure exit... until they realize what it actually takes. 

Luke Peters accomplished the exit and shares what he’d do differently. 

He started out making 25 cents an hour in his family’s donut shop. He barely scraped through high school, became a hazardous waste scientist, and then he spotted a strange little opportunity online: portable air conditioners.

Most people would’ve shrugged it off. Luke leaned in.

Fast forward a few years, he’s running an $80M company, built from scratch, with zero investors.

You know those stories where someone “falls into success”? This isn’t that. Luke earned every inch. And in this episode of “Success for the Athletic-Minded Man,” he breaks down exactly how he did it.

We dive into how he bootstrapped his business, scaled smart (without losing his mind), and built a team that made his company sellable— a crucial move for anyone eyeing an exit.

You’ll hear why most entrepreneurs are stuck at 5% margins, how Luke used SEO to cash-flow from day one, and the difference between grinding and unfocused grinding.

This is the stuff no one tells you, but everyone wishes they knew sooner. Tune in now. You’re gonna want a notebook for this one!

A Navy SEAL, a blind mountaineer, and a pastor walk into a podcast… and reveal the secret to winning at life.

500 episodes and hundreds of elite performers have taught me one shockingly simple truth that no one talks about.

Somewhere along the way, you were told that success is about working harder, grinding longer, and pushing through exhaustion. 

That’s the formula, right? 

Then why does it feel like, no matter how much effort you put in, you’re still spinning your wheels?

In this milestone 500th episode of the “Success for the Athletic-Minded Man” podcast, I’m breaking down the most overlooked success habit that could change everything. A simple shift that has the power to double your income, transform your relationships, and finally get you unstuck.

Want to be recognized by your boss or clients as an expert? If you think it’s about you knowing more, you’re wrong.

Most experts aren’t experts at all, they’re just out-positioning you. Here’s how to change that.

Most professionals stay stuck in mediocrity because they refuse to do what it actually takes to become an undisputed expert in their industry. 

❌ They collect business cards instead of building real relationships.

❌ They skim self-help books instead of mastering deep work.

❌ They chase exposure before developing real expertise, making them nothing more than noise in an already crowded space.

But not YOU.

In this “Success for the Athletic-Minded Man” episode, Patrick Morin exposes the four-pillar blueprint to becoming an industry powerhouse: expertise, process, people, and exposure. 

Forget generic networking and weak personal branding, this is about dominating your field with undeniable authority. We’re talking Dale Carnegie-level sales mastery, high-impact presentations, and the secret to positioning yourself as the go-to leader.

And Patrick knows exactly how to make it happen. 

As a Managing Partner at Transact Capital, he brings decades of experience in investment banking, capital raising, strategic advisory, and business growth. A former Dale Carnegie Training top-ranked global instructor, he has trained CEOs, sales leaders, and executives on high-impact communication, leadership, and sales mastery.

You’re ambitious. You’re disciplined. You work harder than most. So why aren’t you where you want to be?

Here’s the truth: Your biggest obstacle isn’t what you know— it’s what you DON’T know. 

Blindspots in performance, leadership, and business are quietly sabotaging your success. They limit your growth, stall your progress, and keep you wondering why you’re not breaking through, while others seem to accelerate past you.

So how do the best in the world overcome this? They seek out their blindspots and destroy them.

In this episode of “Success for the Athletic-Minded Man” podcast, I reveal how high achievers, elite athletes, and top business minds identify and eliminate their biggest weaknesses before they become roadblocks.

Remember how Tiger Woods rebuilt his entire swing after winning the Masters? Or how Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce changed her sprinting posture and became an Olympic legend? And don’t forget that top business leaders invest in coaches, not because they’re weak, but because they refuse to stay blind to their shortcomings.

So if self-awareness is the key to success, why do so many people stay blind to their biggest weaknesses? 

Simple: You can’t fix what you refuse to see.

Listen as I help you spot the hidden flaws quietly costing you money, opportunities, and impact, and more importantly, give you the tools to eliminate them for good.

If you’re tired of feeling stuck and repeating the same mistakes, this episode is your wake-up call.

If working harder was the answer, wouldn’t you already have everything you want? 

The best leaders, top performers, and elite athletes all have one thing in common… they know when to quit.

What if working harder is actually holding you back?

We’ve been sold the idea that success comes from grinding, hustling, and doing more. But what if the real secret is knowing when to do less? 

Sounds counterintuitive, right? 

But that’s exactly what executive coach and author, Nathan Tanner, discovered after navigating some of the biggest challenges imaginable— like the collapse of Lehman Brothers (yep, that financial disaster) and the chaos of scaling DoorDash from 250 to 5,000 employees.

Nathan isn’t just another productivity guru preaching “work smarter, not harder.” He’s lived it. 

From training for an Ironman while balancing a demanding career to learning the hard way that trying to be great at everything is the fastest way to fail at what actually matters, Nathan shares how strategic underperformance might be the key to unlocking your next level of success.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, burned out, or stuck in the endless cycle of doing more but achieving less, this episode is your wake-up call.

Success isn’t just about talent or effort— it’s about having the right mindset, strategies, and systems in place.

High achievers don’t wait for inspiration. They create structure, habits, and clarity. This special episode shows you how.

Some people seem to have it figured out. 

They break records, shatter barriers, and thrive under pressure while the rest of us wonder… What’s their secret?

Spoiler alert: It’s not luck. It’s not just talent. And it’s definitely not magic. 

Success— real, lasting success— comes down to mindset, habits, and the right strategies. And in this special episode of “Success for the Athletic-Minded Man” podcast, you’re getting the inside scoop from five men who have mastered the game.

To celebrate Black History Month, we’re revisiting conversations with world champion wrestler Lee Kemp, former NFL player and performance coach Niyi Sobo, Jamaican Olympic bobsled team captain Devon Harris, performance expert Nicodemus Christopher, motivational coach, speaker, and author Ryan Leak, and the first African-American chess grandmaster, Maurice Ashley.

Each of these guys has faced setbacks, failures, moments where quitting would’ve been easier. But instead, they leaned into four game-changing principles that separate elite performers from the rest:

✅ The power of mentorship— why success is never a solo sport.

✅ The truth about failure and why it’s your most valuable asset.

✅ The mindset shifts that build unshakable mental toughness.

✅ The power of visualization and goal-setting in turning dreams into reality.

Setting goals is easy; staying on track, not so much. 

What if I told you that follow through is not about willpower, but the systems you create?

Setting goals? Easy. 

Staying consistent? That’s where the wheels come off.

But here’s the thing. They don’t have to. 

In this episode of “Success for the Athletic-Minded Man” podcast, I’m breaking down exactly how to follow through with your goals, even when life throws every curveball it’s got at you.

I talk about finding the right path for YOU— not the one your neighbor, coworker, or Instagram feed says you should be on. 

Then, we’ll tackle staying consistent with routines, accountability (hint: it’s not just simply about “holding yourself accountable”), and real strategies that work. And when you inevitably fall off the wagon— and you will— don’t worry. I’ll show you how to hit the reset button and get back on track.

I’ll also share stories from athletes, high performers, and my own coaching experience that’ll remind you: setbacks are normal, but staying stuck doesn’t have to be.

What’s scarier: facing an Olympic final or your everyday to-do list? Turns out, the mindset to overcome that fear is the same.

If mental training can help Olympians win gold, what could it do for you?

Let’s face it: most people crack under pressure. 

Not because they’re not talented or driven, it’s because they don’t know how to manage what’s happening in their own heads.

But what if you could turn that doubt and fear into fuel, just like the world’s best performers? 

Whether it’s Olympians chasing gold, Navy SEALs preparing for battle, or entrepreneurs closing billion-dollar deals, there’s one thing they all master: their mindset. 

In this episode, I chat with Dr. Jim Bauman, a pioneer in sports psychology who’s been coaching elite athletes, military heroes, and high-powered professionals for decades now. Dr. Bauman shares strategies that apply whether you’re swimming for Olympic gold, pitching to a big client, or just trying to keep your head above water in life.

We talk about how to stop fear in its tracks, the power of mental “timeouts,” and the art of staying present when everything’s on the line. He even breaks down how to use visual cues to shift your mindset in seconds, because sometimes the simplest tricks make the biggest difference.

You’ll hear real stories from five Pathfinders who took on the challenge and finished by going 30-for-30. From physical goals like running and push-ups to mindset shifts like gratitude practices and personal accountability, each challenge was designed to meet their unique needs.  

We’ll also dig into how to create your own challenge that’s personal, doable, and game-changing. This isn’t about following trends or checking boxes. It’s about building habits that matter, one day at a time, and proving to yourself that you’re capable of more than you think.

If you’ve ever wondered how to bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be, this episode is your blueprint. Tune in now!

How one fighter nearly had it all. This episode is a cautionary tale you won’t forget.

What would you do if a kid from halfway around the world showed up at your gym, broke, unable to speak English, and declared, “Me, champion”? 

That’s exactly what happened to Bruce Babashan— a boxing coach with a heart for transformation and an eye for talent. 

But this story isn’t just about boxing; it’s about grit, mentorship, and the choices that define success.

In this episode, Bruce shares the journey of Alex, a young Romanian boxer who sacrificed everything to chase his dream in America. From sleeping outside the gym to crushing opponents in the ring, Alex had it all… until one wrong decision shattered it.

Together, we unpack what it really takes to succeed, why process beats passion, why your circle of friends matters more than you think, and why the climb to the top is as much about mindset as it is about talent. 

Whether you’re chasing your first million, running a marathon, or building a legacy, this episode is your ultimate playbook.

Don’t miss the lesson Bruce shares on how success can be lost faster than it’s gained— and how you can avoid the same fate. Tune in now!

Imagine how much you’d accomplish if “later” wasn’t an option. Here are 9 tactics to make it happen.

Do you ever feel like you’d rather do ANYTHING but the task you know you need to finish? 

So you procrastinate. 

Maybe you scroll social media…

or suddenly need to clean out that junk drawer.

Sound familiar?

Procrastination isn’t just a bad habit; it’s a thief stealing your time, success, and legacy. 

Think about it— every time you put off that important work, you’re letting something valuable slip through your fingers: Time you can’t get back, opportunities you’re pushing further away. And while you’re "busy" with little distractions— emails, social media, ESPN— life is still moving forward.

So join me in this episode as I share nine eye-opening, tested-and-true strategies to beat procrastination at its own game. We’re talking practical steps that go beyond “try harder” and “focus more”— these are the tools that helped hundreds of men go from “I’ll do it later” to “DONE.” 

If you’re ready to cut down on stress, free up your schedule to be more present with your family, and conquer your day with confidence to finish things that actually matter, this episode is for you.

Ever wonder how someone goes from hitting the slopes for fun to competing in the Olympics in just four years? 

This is Vince Poscente’s story and he spills all this and more in this episode of “Success for the Athletic-Minded Man” podcast.

Yep, Vince did that.

But this episode isn’t just about skiing; it's a masterclass in mindset, resilience, and the power of unconventional thinking. Vince’s strategy of using visualization and biofeedback, along with his mantra of “doing what others won’t,” is something you can apply to any goal— big or small.

Being the Fittest Man on Earth is impressive, but surviving life's stormiest seas is legendary.

Ever met someone who practically epitomizes success, only to find out they've also faced more failure than most? In this episode, I interview Jason Khalipa, a CrossFit world champion who parlayed his athletic success into a global business empire.

Jason shares the valuable life lessons he's learned through the most challenging times, including his daughter’s battle with cancer.

Jason is an example of someone who has faced tremendous adversity and has created success despite it all. You won’t have any excuses after this episode.

 What do top performers have in common? They all believe in the power of coaching aka the ultimate success formula.

Some people think having a personal coach is like having a paid friend who nods at everything you say. Spoiler alert: we do more than nod, we also point and sometimes even wave our arms around :) 

In this episode, we’re demystifying coaching, and why understanding it could be a game-changer for both your career and personal life. We're going full MythBusters, but without the fancy gadgets or the explosions (insurance doesn't cover that). We'll just keep it simple: You listen and take notes as I uncover the truth about why the most successful people have coaches and why you should too.

 Shocking truths about perfectionism and performance. 

Are you stuck in the relentless pursuit of perfection, always aiming for that flawless outcome? Do you hesitate to take action, move forward, or take a risk for fear of failure?

Join me in this episode of the Success Through Failure podcast as I chat with Thomas Curran, the man behind "The Perfection Trap" and a world-renowned expert on perfectionism.

We’ll explore how you can reframe your relationship with failure, embrace your inner imperfections, and utilize self-compassion as part of your toolset for success. Many well-known, high-achieving personalities— like Steve Jobs, Taylor Swift, and then some— don’t live perfect lives. So why should you?

Listen to today’s conversation and learn how to happily thrive in your life by focusing on progress, not perfection!

Picture a world where you're not measured by your flawlessness but celebrated for your quirks and imperfections.

Imagine a view of success that doesn't revolve around perfection or the constant pursuit of flawless achievements. 

In today's episode, I sit down with David Zahl, a nationally renowned author and speaker where we’ll delve into a groundbreaking concept that challenges the conventional wisdom of success. It's a perspective that embraces our vulnerabilities, limitations, and imperfections, and it's called "Low Anthropology."

David and I explore how this concept can revolutionize the way we see ourselves and others. We discuss the dangers of high anthropology, the pressure to constantly improve, and the unattainable standards we set for ourselves. Instead, we uncover how a compassionate understanding of our weaknesses can lead to healthier relationships, empathy, and lasting fulfillment.

This isn't just a podcast episode; it's a call to action. A call to rewrite the rules, realign your mindset, and charge headfirst into a future where your flaws become the fuel for your unstoppable journey towards greatness. 

Tune in now and join us in navigating the path to contentment and personal growth through the lens of low anthropology.

In a society where only successful ventures are celebrated and failures are hidden behind velvet curtains, one man dared to reveal the trials and tribulations of failure.

Dr. Samuel West is a man on a mission. As a clinical psychologist specializing in cognitive behavioral therapy, he has always been passionate about the psychology of happiness, especially in relation to work. But it wasn't until mid-career that he decided to take a break from consulting and dive deeper into his research.

For five years, Samuel taught courses on positive psychology, creativity, and organizational science at Lund University. His doctoral thesis in organizational psychology focused on how workplace playfulness, experimentation, and exploration could boost innovation. It was during this time that the idea for the Museum of Failure was born.

But the road to success was not an easy one. In fact, Samuel's initial idea for the museum was met with resistance from his ex-business partner, leading to a series of challenges that led to his personal bankruptcy. Undeterred, Samuel continued to pursue his vision, pouring his heart and soul into creating a space where failure could be honored and learned from.

Since founding the Museum of Failure, Samuel has become the leading expert in helping teams and organizations understand the crucial role of failure in innovation and progress. He continues to inspire and educate people around the world about the importance of embracing failure as a necessary part of growth and success. Through his work, Samuel is changing the way we think about failure and, in turn, changing the world.

 This is the miraculous story of the Miracle on the Hudson and one survivor's tale of success, failure, and lessons learned from cheating death.

On January 15, 2009, US Airways Flight 1549 took off from LaGuardia airport in New York City. Just six minutes after takeoff, the plane hit a flock of geese, causing both engines to fail. The captain made a miraculous emergency landing on the Hudson River. All 155 passengers survived, and it quickly became known as the "Miracle on the Hudson."

One of those passengers was Dave Sanderson. He is not only known for being a survivor of the Miracle on the Hudson but also an inspirational TEDx speaker, author, and philanthropist. 

He has shared the lessons from that experience— where the Tom Hanks-starring film “Sully” drew inspiration— to over 1,700 audiences around the world. His mission is to pass on the strategies he learned and implemented to show how you, too, can grow from a traumatic life event and achieve your most sought-after goals and outcomes.

Failure is scary, and that’s why it’s hard to admit when you make mistakes. And because of that fear, you either find something or someone else to blame— or you don’t forgive yourself at all.

It’s one thing to learn how to deal with constant pain and an incurable illness. It’s another to turn that pain into purpose. Five-time cancer survivor Bill Potts has managed to do exactly that despite his 20-year (and still ongoing) battle.

With his determination and lifestyle, you wouldn’t have even known that Bill Potts has battled cancer five times.

Yes, five times. 

This episode of the Success Through Failure podcast is not about cancer. It’s about how you can own your journey and turn the struggle, scars, and pain into purpose.

And after all these years, Bill is currently undergoing treatment for the sixth time, with number seven just a few years away. His accidental expertise led him to author "Up for the Fight: How to Advocate for Yourself as You Battle Cancer―from a Five-Time Survivor," a book on how to navigate through life after a diagnosis.

For many of us, decades of surgeries, treatment, recovery, isolation are just plain unbearable, and understandably so. And yet, Bill’s ability to somehow respond even better each and every day is nothing short of extraordinary.

Bill Potts is a motivational speaker, business leader, community builder, and dedicated father and husband. He has held executive positions at the IRONMAN Group and the Clearwater Marine Aquarium, and lectured on marketing at Tulane University, where he earned his MBA.

He is currently the co-founder and a managing director of marketing agency Remedy 365 and an IRONMAN triathlete.

In this episode, Bill walks us through his ongoing 20-year battle and how you can turn your own pain into purpose. Listen to Bill’s story now.

In this Super Bowl LVII special episode, we’ll do a Failure Profile on some of the legendary moments, teams, coaches, and quarterbacks of Super Bowl’s of years gone by and how their failures became a catalyst for success.

We always think of Super Bowl champions, like Tom Brady, Joe Montana, and Eli Manning, as elites and masters at what they do. 

With the prestige that comes with their championships, it's easy to see them as infallible and otherworldly. That they've reached the pinnacle of their football careers and have risen to the top of their game because of their successes, not their failures.

But under their helmets are men who have faced setbacks and obstacles— just like you and me.

In this episode of the Success Through Failure podcast, we're going to reveal the true nature of success this time for Super Bowl champion teams, coaches, and players.

They say that there are no shortcuts to success, but after years of failures, successes— and few broken bones— 4x Olympian Ruben Gonzalez discovered that there is a “shortcut” to success.

A seemingly “ordinary guy,” 4x Olympian, Ruben Gonzalez, wasn’t a gifted athlete. 

Ruben didn't take up the sport of luge until he was 21. Against all odds, four years and a few broken bones later, he was competing in the Calgary Winter Olympics. 

At the age of 47, at the Vancouver Olympics, he became the first person to ever compete in four Winter Olympics in four different decades.

Ruben is also an international bestselling author. Among his works are, “The Courage to Succeed,” “Fight for Your Dream,” and just last year, he released his first fictional book, “The Shortcut: The Fastest Way to Achieve Your Goals.”

Now, after four years, Ruben is back on the Success Through Failure podcast!

Ruben's story is going to inspire you to think differently and to live your life with passion to push yourself beyond your self-imposed beliefs and your self-imposed limitations. 

After listening to this interview, you'll realize that you have no excuse to chase your big dream. Tune in now!

Author and Venture capitalist Jason Portnoy grew up in the suburbs of New Jersey. He went to Stanford University and eventually found himself in Silicon Valley in the middle of what’s called the PayPal Mafia— where he worked with visionaries like Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Max Levchin, and Reid Hoffman. 

This launched him into a life of wealth and prestige that he never dreamed of growing up.  

He had stock options in PayPal.
Flashy cars.
And an amazing family. 

Everything looked perfect on the outside, but on the inside, he had unhealed traumas from his past. Slowly and painfully, Jason descended into the dark world of pornography and sex— which pushed him and his life to the edge.

There’s an insidious little force inside of us that gets in the way of our success. Most of the time we don’t even recognize it. Most of the time we don’t even know it’s happening.  

“New level, new devil,” they say. Well, “Old level, same devil,” too! It depends on your default mindset— your paradigm— and that will dictate how you perform in order to achieve and then maintain your next level.

In this episode, we’re talking about how to identify and defeat the invisible force inside of you that’s holding you back, that’s keeping you from Success Through Failure and keeping you in a loop of failure to failure to failure. 

And that invisible force is self-sabotage.

What’s a movie that is so good it actually changed your life? For Financial Mentor Jerremy Newsome, it’s “Forrest Gump.” And just like Forrest, of course, he also invested in Apple… at six years old!

Jerremy Newsome’s mission and calling in life is to enrich lives through mentally liberating financial education. 

His love for business started at the age of six after watching the award-winning film, “Forrest Gump.” At such a young age, he convinced his father to match his investment deposit for some Apple stock back in 1995— just like Forrest and Lieutenant Dan!

In 2014, he established Real Life Trading— a company designed to make trading accessible to everyone. This has allowed him to assist and enrich tens of thousands of lives while also growing the company organically to a seven-figure business. 

But this is NOT an interview about stocks.

And that’s life! We don’t always get what we ask for but often it’s what we actually need.

In the Reveal Your Path coaching program, there’s a concept we call the “Environment of Excellence.” These are the people, messages, and mindsets that influence us— the very same factors that shape our “Implicit Biases.” 

So much of what we talk about here on Success Through Failure is about mindset— unlocking the power of our mind, revealing limiting beliefs, and the unconscious wiring that often controls us and our actions.  

Oftentimes we fail because we tell ourselves a story that we're not good enough, or not smart enough, or not capable enough— or maybe others tell us that story… Maybe it's through their body language, their facial expressions, how they talk to us, or maybe even what we see in the media. 

This is all part of the messaging that we receive from our environment that shapes our unconscious beliefs about ourselves and others.

Social Psychologist and Morehouse College professor, Dr. Bryant Marks, joins us in this episode to reveal the hidden secrets that are stored inside of our minds: about who we are, who others are, and the resulting unconscious actions that we take without even knowing it.

I want you to listen to this interview with the goal of better understanding your unconscious, automatic mind, and the actions you take that affect both you and others that influence our society today. Tune in now!

If there's a "cheat code" that can help you create success at anything, how would you maximize it? It’s NOT an antidote to failing— because failure is a step on the path to success— but using this cheat code will bring change that will lead you to your success.

I had an intriguing conversation with a client recently…

In the past few years, he went from a guy who didn't really work out much to working out regularly. He even took on the challenge of doing the Murph workout, which he successfully completed.

A year later, he committed to doing the Murph again, but due to work and other commitments, he trained less yet, surprisingly, he completed the Murph even faster!

How is that possible?!

In this episode, we’re going to talk about the “cheat code” that my client used and how you can implement the same concept to transform your life and performance in any area: your career, fitness, or otherwise. 

After listening to this, 1) you’d be more willing to do the thing you fear because of fear of failure and 2) you’d be more resilient in the face of failure. So take action and tune in now!

“Easy and elite were never meant to coexist.” And if you wish to lead a life as an elite performer, like Tom Ryan, then you have to be prepared to embrace “chosen suffering.”

Tom Ryan is the Head Coach of the Ohio State University Wrestling Team. It was his guidance and leadership that led the team to unprecedented heights by winning the 2015 NCAA National Championship, among many milestones.

He also had a decorated wrestling career as a 2x NCAA All-American, taking second in the 1991 NCAA Tourney and third in 1992 for the University of Iowa.

Tom embraced “chosen suffering” to become elite in what he does. This became the inspiration for his book, "Chosen Suffering: Becoming Elite In Life And Leadership." 

It wasn’t until he and his wife, Lynette, suffered the sudden death of their five-year-old son, Teague, that they encountered “unchosen suffering” in a way they never wished. In this fire, they found their faith and a process to push through the pain. 

Tom joins us in this episode of the Success Through Failure podcast to share his passion for transforming ordinary lives into elite champions through his stories of unbelievable courage, strength, love, and faith. Tune in now!

There are few people known worldwide by their first name. "Rudy" is one of them. Listen to the fascinating "story behind the story" that you've never heard before.

Against all odds on a gridiron in South Bend, Indiana, Daniel "Rudy" Ruettiger, in 27 seconds, carved his name into history books as perhaps the most famous graduate of the University of Notre Dame. 

As fans cheered “RU-DY! RU-DY!” he sacked the quarterback in the last 27 seconds of the only play in the only game of his college football career. He is the only player in the school's history to be carried off the field on his teammates' shoulders.

In 1993, his life story was immortalized in the blockbuster film, “Rudy.” Written and produced by Angelo Pizzo and David Anspaugh, the award-winning team behind “Hoosiers.”

Today, Rudy entertains international corporate audiences as a sought-after motivational speaker with a unique, passionate, and heartfelt style of communicating. He reaches school children, university students, and professional athletes with the same enthusiasm, portraying the human spirit that comes from his personal experiences of adversity and triumph. His captivating personality and powerful message of "YES I CAN" stays with his audiences forever. 

Rudy joins us in this episode of the Success Through Failure to share, not only his journey to the Notre Dame gridiron, but of getting the movie made despite seemingly insurmountable odds. Don’t miss it!
