    Why Men Fail at Simple Habits— but Win Big With Challenges

    #513 Why Men Fail at Simple Habits— but Win Big With Challenges ----- Action Plan: https://jimharshawjr.com/ACTION Free Clarity Call: https://jimharshawjr.com/APPLY You already know what you should be doing— working out, making the sales calls, being more present at home.  The problem isn’t knowledge. The problem is execution.  In this episode of “Success for the Athletic-Minded Man” podcast, I break down the framework that turns “I’ll start tomorrow” into “I did it today!” From my years as a Division I wrestler to building a coaching community of high-achieving men, I’ve seen one truth over and over: clarity, commitment, and accountability beat motivation every single time. That’s why men crush challenges like 75 Hard, Whole30, or Exodus 90— and why my clients start getting results before the program even begins. I’ll show you why making a public commitment instantly upgrades your discipline, how the Hawthorne Effect can change your habits overnight, and why “holding yourself accountable” is one of the biggest lies in personal development. This isn’t theory. It’s a system you can start doing today to finally do the things you know you’re capable of. 👉 And if you’re ready for real accountability, join the October Challenge— a 30-day reset built for men who want clarity, consistency, and discipline before the year ends.  Go to RevealYourPath.com/challenge for more details.

  2. How 5 World-Class Performers Turned Failure into Success

    How 5 World-Class Performers Turned Failure into Success

    #512 How 5 World-Class Performers Turned Failure into Success ----- You’re not afraid of failure. You’re afraid people will see you fail.  The good news? No one will remember. Success doesn’t happen DESPITE failure. It comes BECAUSE of it.  And the research proves it. Success doesn’t come to the man who never fails. That man doesn’t exist. Success comes to the one who knows how to turn failure into fuel. In this episode of “Success for the Athletic-Minded Man,” I dive deep into the role of failure in success and why it’s not just inevitable— it’s essential. From Tom Hopkins’ bold take to Tim Ferriss’ reminder that failure only matters if you learn from it, I unpack powerful insights and research from the Kellogg School of Business and Harvard Business Review that prove failing fast and trying again is one of the greatest predictors of long-term success. You’ll hear stories of world-class performers who turned their struggles into stepping stones: bestselling author Steven Pressfield battling decades of rejection before writing “The War of Art,” Olympic champion Helen Maroulis overcoming self-doubt to win gold, and blind adventurer Erik Weihenmayer conquering Everest and the Grand Canyon.  I even share my own business failure, what it cost me, and why it ultimately made me more qualified to succeed. If you’ve been holding back because you’re afraid to fail, this episode will flip that fear on its head and show you how to leverage failure as your greatest advantage. Listen now!

    How Dean King Turned Danger Into Discipline and Storytelling Into Purpose

    #511 How Dean King Turned Danger Into Discipline and Storytelling Into Purpose ----- Action Plan: https://jimharshawjr.com/ACTION Free Clarity Call: https://jimharshawjr.com/APPLY Dean King got shot at, crossed the Sahara by camel, and still says the real challenge is letting go of control. Comfort is the slowest form of failure, and most men don’t notice it until it’s too late. Men who step into the hard stuff aren’t thrill-seekers— they’re just done pretending comfort leads anywhere worth going. Most men don’t need more comfort; they need a good punch in the gut from reality. In this “Success for the Athletic-Minded Man” episode, I sit down with Dean King, award-winning author of “Skeletons on the Zahara,” “Guardians of the Valley,” and a dozen other nonfiction thrillers.  But these aren’t just stories— Dean lives them.  He’s survived camel-back expeditions across the Sahara, dodged bullets in West Virginia while researching the Hatfields and McCoys, and walked the Portuguese Camino with his daughter, all in pursuit of truth, purpose, and a damn good story. This one is for the man stuck in his business, career, or routine— searching for clarity, momentum, or maybe just his edge. We talk about the value of discomfort, why letting go of control is often the key to growth, and how to find purpose through adversity.  If you’ve ever felt like you’re going through the motions, this episode will remind you what it means to feel alive again. You’ll walk away with lessons on mindset, resilience, and how to architect small (or massive) adventures that pull you out of the fog and back into a life of clarity, confidence, and meaning. Ready to get uncomfortable? Good. That’s where the growth happens. Tune in now!

    How I Trained My Mind to Stop Avoiding Discomfort

    #510 How I Trained My Mind to Stop Avoiding Discomfort ----- Action Plan: https://jimharshawjr.com/ACTION Free Clarity Call: https://jimharshawjr.com/APPLY You say you want to grow— but not if it’s uncomfortable. If it doesn’t suck a little, it’s probably not worth doing. Do you want to grow? But do you also want comfort?  You can’t have both. In this episode of “Success for the Athletic-Minded Man,” I revisit one of my most replayed— and most needed— episode about the role of pain and discomfort in personal growth, mental toughness, and living a meaningful life.  Whether you’re building a business, chasing a goal weight, or trying to reignite your relationships, you’re going to face resistance. And that’s a good thing. I share personal stories from nearly quitting mid-marathon training to battling limiting beliefs that I’m just “not a runner,” plus insights from clients, Navy SEALs, and high performers who chose the hard path and reaped the reward.  You’ll discover how to shift from “just grinding” to inspired action by connecting discomfort to your core values. And if you're ready to do more than just think about change, I’ll give you 4 tactical steps to structure your goals, welcome accountability, and commit to something that scares you just enough to matter. Are you ready to stop drifting and start building? This episode is your first step.

You’ve heard of speaking on stages... but what about a keynote on a research vessel off the coast of Antarctica?  That’s just one of the wild stories Ross Bernstein brings to this episode— but the real gold lies in his hard-earned insights on championship team culture, elite leadership, and the line between gamesmanship and integrity. Ross has interviewed over 1,000 pro athletes, written 50+ books, and keynoted on seven continents. But what matters most? What he’s learned about the DNA of winning teams, and how that applies to your boardroom, locker room, or even your very own living room. In this episode of “Success for the Athletic-Minded Man” podcast, we talk about what great leaders actually do, why culture isn’t fluff, and how to build your own Environment of Excellence.  After listening to this, you’ll walk away challenged, maybe a little uncomfortable— and that’s a good thing. If you’re a leader at work, at home, or in your community, this conversation will challenge the way you think about winning. Because it’s not about being the best guy in the room, it’s about being the one they’ll follow when everything’s on the line.  Hit play now!

    #508 3 Reasons You Don’t Have Enough Time (and How to Fix Each One) ----- Action Plan: https://jimharshawjr.com/ACTION Free Clarity Call: https://jimharshawjr.com/APPLY If you're constantly saying “I don’t have enough time,” it’s not because your calendar is full… it’s because prioritizing the wrong things. I’ve worked with hundreds of high-achieving men— former athletes, business leaders, and busy professionals— and one theme comes up again and again: they struggle to make time for what matters most. In this solo episode of “Success for the Athletic-Minded Man,” I break down the three real reasons high-achieving men stay stuck in the loop of busyness— and more importantly, how to break out. You’ll hear why your lack of direction is costing you more than you think, why leadership isn’t about having a title but about managing your life, and how your environment might be sabotaging your success without you even realizing it. I’m not offering hacks or feel-good mantras. I’m giving you the exact mindset shift that helped one of my clients go from stuck and unfocused to energized, dialed-in... and running for Congress. So if you’re tired of watching your potential collect dust while you chase low-impact tasks, this episode is for you. Forget the hacks. Let’s fix the root. Tune in now!

Anthony Robles saw an opportunity– .and he’s got the medals (and scars) to show for it. He was born without a right leg. Doctors had no answers.  At five years old, he climbed a 50-foot pole by himself.  By 22, he was an NCAA champion. This is the story of Anthony Robles— a three-time All-American wrestler, the 2011 NCAA National Champion, and a Nike-sponsored athlete who turned every so-called “limitation” into a competitive edge. In this “Success for the Athletic-Minded Man” episode, Anthony reveals the mindset that made him unstoppable: from walking into his first wrestling practice just to “see what he was capable of,” to breaking a Guinness World Record, building a speaking business, and becoming a powerful example for anyone chasing personal greatness. We get into mental toughness, building a resilience game plan, the exact moment he nearly quit and the unexpected letters from a third-grade classroom that pulled him back in. This isn’t inspiration for inspiration’s sake. This is a tactical, real-world masterclass in overcoming adversity, leveraging what you’ve got, and dominating in life— not just sport. If you’ve got a list of excuses, this episode will tear it up and hand you a better one: a game plan.

    #506 13 Lessons from the Pathfinder Retreat That Will Transform Your Next 30 Days ----- Action Plan: https://jimharshawjr.com/ACTION Free Clarity Call: https://jimharshawjr.com/APPLY 22 men walked into the Pathfinder Retreat. What they left with wasn’t what they expected. What happens when a room full of high-performing men— entrepreneurs, executives, husbands, and dads— drop their titles, leave the chaos behind, and finally get real? In this “Success for the Athletic-Minded Man” episode, I take you behind the scenes at the very successful 2025 Pathfinder Retreat, so you can also benefit from what we learned at the comfort of your own home. We came together last May to sharpen our edge professionally. But what happened had little to do with tactics and everything to do with vulnerability, honest reflection, and resetting what really matters. I’m breaking down the 13 unexpected lessons that emerged from that weekend. From why “low-hanging fruit tastes just as good” to what one guy called “Good Dude Ville”— and why that oddly perfect phrase might just unlock your next breakthrough. If you’ve ever felt stuck in your head, pulled in too many directions, or like you're succeeding on the outside but drifting on the inside, this one’s for you. And at the very end of the episode, I’ll share the story and the exact strategy I used when I was sitting in the stands in tears after losing at the NCAA Championships... the same strategy I shared with the men at the retreat to help them stay on fire long after the retreat ended.
