Description

We’re back with bestselling author Jim Murphy, author of Inner Excellence and The Best Possible Life. As a high-performance coach to world champions, CEOs, and elite athletes, Jim brings over 15 years of experience helping people live and lead with purpose. His book Inner Excellence, now translated into 27 languages, has quietly become a global success, rooted in years of research, real-world coaching, and a relentless commitment to inner growth.In this episode, Jim shares the full story behind the moment his book went viral when NFL star A.J. Brown was spotted reading it during a playoff game, and the years of quiet obsession that made that moment possible. Long before any spotlight, Jim was putting in the work, sending handwritten letters, chasing down interviews with some of the biggest names in Major League Baseball, and slowly collecting the 39 conversations that shaped his thinking. He spent years deep in research, poured everything he had into the book, and even went $90,000 into debt, facing serious financial risk to bring the book to life in its most authentic form.Jim’s story is a powerful reminder of the value of writing from a place of genuine passion, staying focused on personal growth, and letting the work speak for itself. Tune in for a story about long-term grit, unexpected timing, and the kind of success that only shows up when you’re willing to do the work no one sees.—Get a copy of Inner Excellence here: https://a.co/d/5V2rKT5Dive deeper into Jim’s work and get his latest insights by subscribing to his newsletter here: www.innerexcellence.com— Take a second to follow, review, or share this with someone who might find it useful.
