Description
In the season finale of Good Listen, I sit down with Jim Murphy—former professional athlete, mental performance coach, and author of the transformative book Inner Excellence. Jim opens up to me about his tumultuous journey from a minor league baseball player grappling with career-threatening vision issues to a sought-after coach guiding elite athletes and executives worldwide. He shares the pivotal moment his life changed forever: a chance encounter with a homeless man named Zoe during a mental health crisis, which sparked a spiritual awakening and reshaped his understanding of purpose.Jim talks about how Inner Excellence unexpectedly skyrocketed to fame after NFL star AJ Brown was spotted reading it during a playoff game, catapulting the book into the spotlight. He dives into profound insights on overcoming self-centeredness, embracing humility, and pursuing a life of “fullness” over fleeting success. Through raw anecdotes—from his struggles in the minors to coaching Olympians and PGA Tour champions—Jim reveals how faith, self-awareness, and resilience can redefine greatness.This conversation is a raw, deeply human exploration of finding joy beyond accolades, the power of divine timing, and why true excellence begins within. Whether you’re an athlete, entrepreneur, or simply seeking meaning, Jim’s story will challenge you to rethink what it means to live your best possible life.“Inner Excellence: Train Your Mind for Extraordinary Performance and the Best Possible Life” is available now.
