In this episode, Jim Murphy shares how training your mind for inner excellence leads to peace, confidence, and extraordinary performance. Jim is a #1 New York Times bestselling author and Performance Coach to some of the best athletes and leaders in the world. He began his career as a professional baseball player in the Chicago Cubs organization, later coaching with the Texas Rangers and the South African Olympic baseball team. Jim has worked with world champion golfers, FedEx Cup champions, and world #1’s — and most of his clients experience the best year of their careers in their first year with him. In addition to coaching professional athletes and executives, he leads Inner Excellence retreats worldwide and serves as president of the Inner Excellence Freedom Project, dedicated to alleviating spiritual and physical poverty.
We dig into Jim’s remarkable story — from giving away half his possessions and heading into the desert to discovering the principles that became his life’s work. Along the way, he unpacks how courage, presence, and letting go of the past are key to unlocking human potential. Whether you’re an athlete, a business leader, or just someone who wants more peace and confidence in your life, this conversation will expand what you believe is possible.
Some highlights we explore:
- The moment AJ Brown was filmed reading Inter Excellence during every NFL playoff game, including the Super Bowl.
- Why Jim says “selfless is fearless” — and how the greatest need of the human heart is unconditional love.
- The BFF formula: belief, focus, and freedom — and why courage is the most common trait of high performers.
- The four daily goals of inner excellence: learn and grow, be present, gratitude, and focus on what you can control.
Enjoy!
