Now, if you've been following me for a while, you know I'm a diehard Philadelphia Eagles fan.

And like many of you, I was watching that playoff game last year when A.J.

Brown, one of the best wide receivers in the leagues, was shown sitting on the sidelines reading a book.

That book, Inner Excellence, Crane Your Mind for Extraordinary Performance and the Best Possible Life by Jim Murphy.

I was fascinated.

What kind of book captures an athlete's attention?

the middle of a playoff game.

So I picked it up.

And what I found wasn't just a book about sports performance.

It was a guide to living with courage, wisdom and love framework for aligning who you are on the inside with how you show up when the pressure is on.

That's why I wanted Jim Murphy on the show.

Jim is a performance coach to professional athletes, Olympians, and top executives.

In this conversation, we explore why the greatest battle you face isn't out there.

It

inside, how fear, the critic, and the monkey mind sabotage performance, why the heart, not the mind, is the true source of extraordinary results, and how to align your life with the three pillars of inner excellence, love, wisdom, and courage.

If you've ever felt stuck, anxious, or you're like the ball in the game of pinball,

Today's episode is for you.
