Coming Up Clutch with J.R. Helping Pro and Executive Athletes maximize their success and significance

Ever feel like you're doing everything right…but something still feels off?

Like no matter how hard you work, how much you win, how much you provide—it's never quite enough. You're crushing it professionally…but at home, you're irritable, disconnected, or just numb.

If that hits home, you're not crazy. You're not broken. You just might be glitching. 👀

This week on the Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™ show, I'm sit down with Dr. Don Wood—mindset and trauma expert, author, and the creator of the TIPP Method. He's helped pro athletes and CEOs reboot their minds and experience next-level peace and performance.

And for real, Don flipped the switch on how I view anxiety, depression, and that low-level restlessness that so many of us think we just need to push through.

In this episode, you will hear:

• Why unresolved trauma creates mental "glitches" that hijack your peace and purpose
• The real reason you're still battling anxiety or sabotage—even when life looks good
• How to use science and Scripture to reset your mind and step into God-designed freedom
• The one mindset practice you can start today to stop spirals and snap back into clarity

Key Quotes

• "You must understand how your mind works. If you don't, you can never fix it." - Dr. Don Wood
• "Trauma is a software glitch. If you don't resolve it, your nervous system will keep firing like you're still in danger." - Dr. Don Wood
• "Anytime you have an emotion, feeling, or sensation, your mind is calling for an action. Fear wants you to run. But if you're recalling fear from a past event, and you can't act, that's a glitch." - Dr. Don Wood
• "The best thing you can do as a parent? Make your home safe. The world won't treat your child like you can. You have the chance to be their safe place. That's the greatest gift you can give them." - Dr. Don Wood
• "When a negative thought creeps in, close your eyes, think about something positive, then describe what you see. You'll reset the brain and won't even remember the negative thought." - Dr. Don Wood

You ever hit a stretch where everything feels HARD?

Like no matter how much you pray… plan…push…

• Doors stay shut
• Momentum stalls
• Progress feels like dragging a boulder uphill

Let's call it what it is — FRUSTRATING.

And the lies start circling in your head: "You're off course. Maybe you missed it. Maybe you're not called to this."

But here's the truth: Hard doesn't mean wrong. It might just mean God's working.

Resistance doesn't always signal "stop." Sometimes, it's divine conditioning. Sometimes, it's your runway to rise.This week on the Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™ show, I'm flipping the script on struggle — and dropping a simple, yet powerful 3-step strategy that'll help you turn your resistance into your rocket fuel.

So if you're tired of second-guessing your path, or if you're stuck in a season where nothing feels easy — then lock into this episode.

Let's get it!

In this episode, you will hear:

• How resistance and headwinds in life are often signs you're on the right path — not signals to stop
• The real story behind my failed business pivot and the bold truth that set me free
• Why David's wilderness battles prepared him to be a king — and what that means for your current struggles
• The biblical and scientific proof that resistance is essential for growth, not punishment
• A 3-step strategy to turn times of uncertainty into personal breakthroughs.
• A powerful mindset shift to help you stop chasing relief and start embracing the rise God is preparing you for.

Key Quotes

• "David didn't become a warrior in the palace. He became a warrior in the wilderness. Resistance wasn't his punishment — it was his preparation." - J.R.
• "God uses headwinds to refine you and build you, not punish you. He uses them to help you take off to your next level in life." - J.R.
• "Stop seeing resistance as a red flag and start seeing it as an opportunity for refinement." - J.R.

What's your mindset when the pressure is ON? Do you freeze? Overthink? Choke?

Or do you get present, dialed-in, and ready for the moment — no matter how big it is?

Let's be real… Most guys say they're built for the big moments — but behind the scenes, they're terrified of blowing it. They're obsessed with the OUTCOME, not the OPPORTUNITY.

That's why I had to get 2x World Series Champion, Jonny Gomes, on the Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™ show. This dude's life is a masterclass in pressure-tested performance. He's survived a tragic car accident, survived a heart attack, and experienced more adversity before age 22 than most experience in a lifetime. But somehow, he still found a way to rise — and come up CLUTCH when it mattered most.

In this episode, you will hear:

• How to dominate high-pressure moments without chasing outcomes
• The most important conversation you'll ever have
• Why proving your doubters wrong is exhausting — and who to focus on proving right
• What today's athletes — and parents — are getting wrong about grit

Key Quotes

• "I never set my goals on the outcome... I just wanted the opportunity." - Jonny Gomes
• "The best coach that you'll ever surround yourself with is the dude in the mirror." - Jonny Gomes
• "Stop trying to prove the haters wrong. Start proving the people in your inner circle right." - Jonny Gomes
• "It's not about remembering. It's about storing... the more you self-evaluate, the more storage you put in your brain." - Jonny Gomes

You ever feel like God's been stripping things away…and you're left wondering what you did wrong?

The contract falls through. A friend ghosts you. That "safe" comfort zone? Gone.

Your first thought? "What the heck did I do?"

But here's the hard truth I had to face: God doesn't prune because you're failing. He prunes because he wants you to be fruitful.

That's why in this week's 5-Minute Drill on the Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™ show, I'm breaking down a counterintuitive (but transformational) strategy to help you stop interpreting every loss as a punishment, reframe the setback you're in as a setup for something greater, and let go without feeling like you're falling apart.

So if you've ever felt like something's being taken away because of something you did wrong — and you feel stuck in panic, guilt, or confusion because of it — then lock into this episode.

Let's get it!

In this episode, you'll hear:

• The real reason God sometimes strips things away — and why it's not rejection, it's refinement
• Two personal stories that exposed where I was placing my faith — and how God used loss to level me up
• How to use the PRY Framework to respond to loss with clarity instead of chaos
• Brain science behind emotional hijacks — and how to calm your system when life blindsides you
• What Joseph's story reveals about divine subtraction and long-term success
• Why letting go is actually the key to unlocking your next breakthrough

Key Quotes

• "Stillness is spiritual strength training. You can't be still with an upregulated nervous system." - J.R.
• "You need to start seeing things from heaven's perspective, not hell's perspective." - J.R.
• "God doesn't multiply what we cling to. He multiplies what we surrender." - J.R.

What do you do when your team is full of talent…but you're still carrying all the weight?

You know what I'm talking about — that moment you realize you're the one pushing every conversation forward…

...holding everyone accountable…

...keeping the mission alive.

It's exhausting.

Let's be real — you're not leading a team. You're dragging one.That's why I'm excited to share the conversation I had with leadership expert and #1 NYT Best-selling author, Keith Ferrazzi — a man who's worked with some of the most elite executive teams in the world — think General Motors, the country of Bhutan (yes, the country), and some of the fastest-growing startups in tech. Keith just released a new book called Never Lead Alone and it's a straight-up manual for how the best leaders are shifting from command and control to building teams that actually LEAD WITH THEM.

In this episode, you will hear:

• The most important leadership shift elite teams are making right now
• How to eliminate conflict avoidance and create real accountability (without killing trust)
• Why feeling lonely at the top is a choice—and how to change that, fast

Key Quotes

• "High-performing teams cross the finish line together." - Keith Ferrazzi
• "Most teams avoid difficult conversations, but true high-performers challenge each other in real time. The result? More trust, faster growth, and stronger teams." - Keith Ferrazzi
• "The struggles of your life can be solved with the people around you — it's a more enriching way to do it." - Keith Ferrazzi
• "Leaders must shift from focusing on leadership to teamship, where you expect the team to level up and meet you in leadership." - Keith Ferrazzi
• "You don't think your way to a new way of acting. You act your way to a new way of thinking." - Keith Ferrazzi
• "If you feel lonely at the top, that's on you. You are choosing to isolate yourself from people who are ready to love and support you." - Keith Ferrazzi

You ever get hit with,"You seem annoyed to be home" (even though you haven't said a word)?

This one stings. But let's be real — it's usually true. Not because you're annoyed, but because your emotions are talking — even when you're not.

I'm giving you a proven, science-backed, faith-fueled strategy to help you recognize the hidden signals you're sending, reset your presence in less than 5 minutes, and walk in the door with a calm, confident leadership—no matter how tough your day's been. So, if you're tired of of being misunderstood…

Tired of leaking stress onto the people you love…

What's your response when life punches you in the gut? When everything you've built gets ripped away in an instant? When your health is on the line and your future is up in the air?

Most people crumble. They get consumed by fear. They ask, "Why me?"

But not this week's guest on the Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™ show. Adel Sayegh didn't just face a billion-dollar betrayal — he was handed a death sentence. While building his empire, he found out the people closest to him were embezzling millions. And just when he thought things couldn't get worse — pancreatic cancer. Most people would've thrown in the towel. But not Adel. What he did next will leave you stunned.

If you're ready to hear an overcomer's story that goes beyond inspiration and actually gives you tools to transform your pain into purpose (and build unshakeable faith), then don't miss today's episode.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• How to build resilience when the people closest to you let you down
• The faith that helped him fight through the darkest season of his life
• What real peace feels like — and why it's more powerful than success or money
• The mindset shift you NEED to make during life's toughest trial

Key Quotes

• "The greatest gift that God could possibly have ever given me was to go through what I went through." - Adel Sayegh
• "If you choose to believe that the same spirit that raised Christ from the dead lives in you, the impossible now becomes possible." - Adel Sayegh
• "The first step to a deep, life-giving relationship is self-awareness." - Adel Sayegh

Asking someone else to hold you accountable is a good thing, right?

Well, not exactly. If you're anything like me, you've heard some variation of "Accountability is what separates the elite from the average." So, it seems natural that if you want to win and achieve your goal, you'd approach someone to hold you accountable. I did this for years.

But here's the hard truth: If you're relying on others to hold you accountable, you're missing the point of accountability.

For years, I believed that accountability meant someone else tracking my progress…reminding me to do the work…pushing me when I slowed down. But after seeing this attempt at accountability fail over and over, I realized the biggest mistake I was making - I was putting the responsibility of accountability on someone else instead of creating a system for it myself.

But the good news? I found the fix.

In this week's episode of the Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™ show, I break down the one mistake that's holding you back from true accountability and the success you deserve — and then give you a simple strategy to get it right. No more waiting for someone else to chase you down. Elite performers don't ask for accountability — they create an environment where accountability thrives. So, if you're tired of relying on others to keep you in check and you're ready to take control of your success, then lock into this episode.

Let's get it!

In this episode, you'll hear:

• Why accountability starts with you
• How to build a system of accountability that works for you
• The key steps to creating an environment where you're automatically held to a higher standard
• How to make sure your performance stays elite—no reminders needed.

That gap between where you are and where you want to be? It's suffocating you. It's got you questioning what you're doing wrong. And let's be real — you might even be thinking, "I'm a failure."

But here's the secret I've learned (the hard way): Failure is never permanent when you have a next step.

In today's 5-Minute Drill, I'm diving deep into how to turn your pain into progress. I'm not just talking about moving past setbacks — I'm sharing the exact strategy that helped me and countless other pro and executive athletes find clarity and keep pushing forward when we felt stuck.
