    We're dusting off one of our all-time favorite #STFpod episodes, a conversation that left a lasting impact on many. An episode that's been downloaded more times than we can count. Why? Because it's the kind of conversation that leaves you wondering, “How did I not know this before?”
    I'm talking about my sit-down with none other than Jack Canfield— a Guinness World Record holder for having seven books simultaneously on the New York Times Bestseller List for the worldwide sensation, "Chicken Soup for the Soul" series. 
    He's also one of the most well known and respected motivational speakers on the planet and a practitioner of the Law of Attraction.
    In this special republish episode, we look back to my conversation with Jack where we deep-dived into the power of visualization, the secret sauce behind his remarkable journey to success. We also uncovered why he sees failure as feedback rather than a roadblock, and showed us how the Law of Attraction can transform our lives.

    Being the Fittest Man on Earth is impressive, but surviving life's stormiest seas is legendary.
    Ever met someone who practically epitomizes success, only to find out they've also faced more failure than most? In this episode, I interview Jason Khalipa, a CrossFit world champion who parlayed his athletic success into a global business empire.
    Jason shares the valuable life lessons he's learned through the most challenging times, including his daughter’s battle with cancer. And you’ll be interested to hear why being a CrossFit world champion and being named the fittest man on earth was not his favorite CrossFit games… but rather the year he lost. 
    We also explore the power of the “Never Zero” mindset, a concept that has propelled Jason through his many roles— from CrossFit champion to devoted family man.
    Jason is an example of someone who has faced tremendous adversity and has created success despite it all. You won’t have any excuses after this episode.

Great actionable content

Each episode I’ve listened to have provided steps that are easy to adopt and take action on. It’s not often you find content that is real and that exposes the reality of the journey as a coach, parent, and entrepreneur. I’d recommend Jim and his podcast to parents, coaches and anyone looking to reach their potential.

Excellent Resource

Jim is someone with an understanding and sense of empathy to assist others in achieving their goals of any level. He has displayed that it is more than one particular trait, and is available to help one arrive!
