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!
