We work with high school and college athletes. Our goal is to reach and help 20,000 college athletes and 2 national title winners by the end of 2028. We have 6 Core Values: Integrity, Discipline, Kaizen (constant improvement in all matters), Teamwork, Enjoyment, and Sisu (never ever quitting). Our mantra is Relentless. And our mission statement is that we are Forging Unbreakable Athletes. The athlete's head is impacted by 3 components or inch blocks: their Mindset, their Knowledge of their sport, and how they interact with all Teammates (leadership, support, and game Teammates). The athlete's body also has 3 inch blocks: their Training, Nutrition, and Recovery. And each athlete needs a Playbook or roadmap guiding them to advance as quickly and effectively as possible. We help guide and identify the next targets in an athlete's 6 blocks and push him/her forward. We do this systematically and strategically. We are Relentless in this approach. This podcast will have on guests that can help provide insights and ideas for athletes and coaches. We'll have on athletes, coaches, doctors, military personnel and others. We'll dissect books and look for other approaches to help athletes as well. We want more info and ideas for advancing athletes in the 6 blocks. Hop on board and keep pushing forward. Be an athlete!

    Athlete Builder Ep. 130: James Artman. Create a Purpose Drive Life

    Athlete Builder Podcast – The Jim & Jim Show Host: Jim Beebe Guest: Jim Artman – Army Ranger Sniper Veteran, Entrepreneur, Co-Founder of Extreme Resilience In this episode of the Athlete Builder Podcast, host Jim Beebe welcomes Army Ranger sniper veteran and entrepreneur Jim Artman for a wide-ranging conversation on resilience, purpose, and personal growth. Known as the "Jim & Jim Show," the two dive into lessons from military service, business, mental performance, and the journey of rebuilding identity after major life transitions. Jim Artman shares his path from the elite Ranger Regiment to building the Extreme Resilience personal development brand and the Hero Transformation Program, which helps high performers—including veterans, first responders, and entrepreneurs—rebuild their lives through a holistic approach to mental, physical, spiritual, and environmental wellness. The conversation explores how adversity can shape leadership, why personal accountability is essential to resilience, and how systems and habits—not just goals—drive real transformation. Along the way, the episode delivers some entertaining moments as well. Jim and Jim joke about military MREs, share workout music preferences ranging from EDM to metal, and laugh about reality-show style business accelerators where entrepreneurs live together while competing to build companies. Artman also opens up about the challenges he faced after leaving the military, including PTSD and panic attacks, and how studying functional medicine, nutrition, and human biology helped him regain control of his health and mindset. Together, the two discuss core values, discipline, vulnerability in leadership, and the importance of asking one powerful question after every major change in life: "Now what?"

About

We work with high school and college athletes. Our goal is to reach and help 20,000 college athletes and 2 national title winners by the end of 2028. We have 6 Core Values: Integrity, Discipline, Kaizen (constant improvement in all matters), Teamwork, Enjoyment, and Sisu (never ever quitting). Our mantra is Relentless. And our mission statement is that we are Forging Unbreakable Athletes. The athlete's head is impacted by 3 components or inch blocks: their Mindset, their Knowledge of their sport, and how they interact with all Teammates (leadership, support, and game Teammates). The athlete's body also has 3 inch blocks: their Training, Nutrition, and Recovery. And each athlete needs a Playbook or roadmap guiding them to advance as quickly and effectively as possible. We help guide and identify the next targets in an athlete's 6 blocks and push him/her forward. We do this systematically and strategically. We are Relentless in this approach. This podcast will have on guests that can help provide insights and ideas for athletes and coaches. We'll have on athletes, coaches, doctors, military personnel and others. We'll dissect books and look for other approaches to help athletes as well. We want more info and ideas for advancing athletes in the 6 blocks. Hop on board and keep pushing forward. Be an athlete!
