What's your typical response when life paralyzes you? When you feel your pain more than your purpose?

For most people - it's the Victim Mentality (aka "Why is this happening to me?"). That's why I'm excited to get on the mic with a guy who knows all about dealing with pain. And the way he's dealing with it is BEYOND INSPIRATIONAL. Today, I have the honor of sitting down with former University of Florida basketball standout and professional basketball player turned ESPN Analyst, Patric Young. Just 10 days before his wedding, Patric was involved in a car accident that left him paralyzed from the waist down. But as Patric will tell you, his accident wasn't life-changing…it was life-affirming. As Patric shares his stories, he shares insights on overcoming the Runner-up Mindset and the sheer determination that turns adversity into a mission.

In this episode, we unpack the paradox of control versus management, leaning into the idea that sometimes, letting go is the first step to truly grasping what matters. From the Parable of the Talents to the wisdom of managing life's manageables, Patric's narrative instills a sense of purpose and calls us to a deeper understanding of our true identity and the power of perseverance, even when life throws its hardest curveballs.

Patric's infectious humor and spirited anecdotes offer a fresh perspective on integrating purpose and faith into our daily lives. If you want a new perspective about overcoming life's toughest pains, then don't miss today's episode.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• Overcoming the runner up mindset.
• The revelations Patric experienced while being in the hospital for 128 days.
• What you must realize before you make any transition in life.
• The concept of "managing the manageables" instead of trying to control everything.
• Discovering true identity and purpose through self-awareness and aligning with one's true self.
• Embracing challenges with gratitude and an "even if" mentality inspired by faith and resilience.

Key Quotes

• "Take care of your house."
• "As long as I'm living, 'Why not?'"

Struggling with setbacks can feel like a constant uphill battle. I've discovered that sometimes the answer lies not in reinventing the wheel, but in turning back to the beliefs, thoughts, and actions that once led me victory. This episode goes against the ever so annoying 'new year, new you' mantra. It's a deep dive into the potency of recognizing when to reset vs. restart. Realignment isn't about scraping everything and starting from scratch — it's about recalibrating back to our core strengths and drawing clarity from the victories of our past.

So, if you want a mindset that will actually position you to bring out your best and help you achieve your goals, then lock in to today's episode.

Let's get it!

In this episode, you will hear:

• The importance of shifting your paradigm from "restart" to "reset," especially when facing life's challenges.
• J.R.'s personal experiences on resetting in the areas of mindset, marriage, finances, and health.
• Strategies to recalibrate to your core strengths, and leveraging past successes.
• Differentiating between the pressure of "starting over" and the grace of a strategic reset.
• Encouragement and actionable steps to reset and realign with your 2024 goals.

What's your typical first move when things aren't going your way? …when NOTHING seems to be working?

Here's how most people respond: panic, complain, blame, rage in frustration. If you're reading this and going, "Yep. That's me," trust me, I'm just as guilty as you are. Those responses…or I should say reactions…are a typical human response. But there's a better way, and you and I both know it.

That's why I'm excited to get on the mic with a guy who knows all about dealing with things not going as planned…and we're not just talking about a thing or two…we're talking multiple YEARS of things not going his way. Today, I sit down with Cincinnati Reds outfielder and former 1st Round Pick, Will Benson. In our conversation, we lean HARD into the tough seasons of Will's life and career and what he did to overcome them and get better from them. His message is all about honoring your God-given path and giving back to the communities that gave you a chance.

If you want to be more equipped to come out on top when things aren't going your way, then lock in to today's episode.

In this episode, you will hear:

• Three key lessons from Will's story of being on the brink of being released to one of the hottest hitters in Major League Baseball.
• Will's message if you're struggling with the gap between where you are and where you know you could be.
• Will's advice regarding constructive criticism and then implementing it.
• The power of process-focused goals, daily routines, and the pursuit of mastery.
• The impact of fatherhood on Will's life and career.

Have you ever wondered why our closest relationships sometimes falter despite our best intentions? This episode takes a hard look at the consequences of taking those we care about for granted and the insidious nature of assumptions. We weave through personal anecdotes and expert insights, highlighting the invisible yet significant impact of acting with intention in maintaining the vitality of our closest relationships.

In today's 5 Minute Drill, we also unpack leadership expert, John Maxwell's, stance that "the biggest leadership mistake that leaders make is that they lead by assumption." It's a dangerous trap in leadership that happens all too often in relationships - especially if you've been in a relationship or have been married for a good amount of time. It's something we're all guilty of, even outside of relationships. I'm going to help increase your awareness around this. So, if you want to prevent the problems that come with the assumption trap, then lock in to today's episode.

Let's get it!

In this episode, you'll hear:

• The detrimental effects of unspoken expectations in personal and professional relationships.
• The role of intentional communication and gratitude in preventing complacency and conflict.
• Insights from leadership expert John Maxwell on the pitfalls of leading by assumption.
• Strategies to combat the hedonic treadmill.
• The power of visualization and mindfulness in raising one's happiness baseline and fostering appreciation.
• Practical advice for improving your impact and reliability in life.

"Jesus, take the wheel." No, I'm not admitting I'm a Carrie Underwood fan.

I don't know about you, but whenever I hear her song or hear one of my fellow Southern sisters say the phrase, my initial reaction is, "Ha! Easier said than done." Because us highly driven people LOVE us some control, right? We LOVE the driver's seat…calling all the shots. But here's what I've learned - both from my journey and walking alongside some of the best in the world…

The person who thinks he's in control is the one more likely to lose it.

So, today, I'm on the mic with a guy who knows all about the challenge of giving the keys over to God and trusting that He'll get you to where you're supposed to be. Major League Baseball Vice President and longtime baseball executive, Del Matthews, keeps it real with me and shares insights on how to let go when everything inside is saying to hold on.

If you want to tap into more of the courage and confidence inside you without having to be a control freak, then lock in to today's episode.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• How Del leaned into his own unique identity while growing up with both a Dad and brother who played in the Big Leagues.
• Del's advice for those times when you're scared to step out in faith and trust God.
• Insights into Del's transition from playing to executive roles in baseball development.
• How to lean into a vision for the future, whether it's your own or someone else's.
• Importance of collaborative choices and seeking wise counsel.

When your marriage or relationship (or friendship) is operating at its best, what does it look like? How are you feeling? What are you thinking? Believing? How are you acting?

The truth is, you know those answers. But the reality - you're not leveraging them enough in your day-to-day interactions. And when that happens, your relationship has a much better chance to get stale, boring, or worse…non-existent (speaking from firsthand experience here).

In today's 5 Minute Drill, I'm going to share a strategy that I shared with one of my private clients that created a HUGE light bulb moment for him, and has since been a game-changer for his marriage. It's a slight paradigm shift, BUT IT MAKES A HUGE DIFFERENCE. So, if you want to bring your A-game to your interactions AND conflicts with your spouse, significant other, and friends and prevent your relationships from getting blah, then lock in to today's episode.

In this episode, you will hear:

• How leadership expert Patrick Lencioni's approach to core values applies to your relationships.
• Why bringing your best self into your relationship isn't enough.
• A strategy for elevating your marriage and relationships.

Change is tough.

In many cases, it takes a whole mess of resilience. But staying resilient is tough, too. Right?

What has helped me stay resilient in the face of tough transitions or change - learning how others got through. …seeing what worked and what didn't work for people who endured similar situations. So, I want to pass this strategy on to you.

Today, I'm on the mic with World Series Champion and MLB All-Star, Will Harris, on the Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™ show. With all the career and personal challenges he faced, he had no choice but to stay resilient and he shares his go-to strategy during our interview.

How often do you overlook how the negative parts of your day (or career) are affecting your relationships?

This is real. Us humans go on autopilot more often than we want to admit. And, in many cases, it's giving all the negativity around us a free runway to wreak havoc on our most important relationships.

In today's 5 Minute Drill, I'm going to share a strategy that's been a game changer for me and my clients when it comes to interacting with people, ESPECIALLY in those situations when you're tired, exhausted, or just don't want to be interacting with people after a rough day. So, if you're someone who sometimes gets short with people after a rough day, then this episode is for you.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• Insights from an actual client strategy session about managing negative reactions and improving interpersonal communication.
• The impact positive labels have on your neurochemistry, stress reduction, and psychological resilience.
• The neuroscience behind applying positive labels to people you interact with.
• The strategy to help in those situations when you're tired, exhausted, or just don't want to be interacting with people after a rough day.
