What if true growth isn’t about pushing harder—but about finally being honest with yourself?

For Cletus Coffey, that moment of honesty came after life had already knocked him down—career setbacks, divorce, and the painful realization that he was the common denominator of it all.

That epiphany didn’t end him. It woke him up to do the internal work most people avoid.

A former pro athlete turned high-performance coach, Cletus traded the number on the scoreboard for something deeper: a commitment to live life on his own terms. 

In this episode, we talk about letting go of what you’re not in control of, how to shift your identity, and build a legacy rooted in authenticity—not achievement.
