    The Unfiltered Truth About Peak Performance with Jim Murphy
    Aug 26 2025
    How to Lead When Everything Falls Apart What happens when the bottom drops out—when the game you’ve built your identity on slips away, when your performance defines your worth, and suddenly, it's all gone? My guest today, Jim Murphy, knows precisely what that feels like. As a former outfielder in the Chicago Cubs organization, Jim’s identity—and his life—revolved around how he performed on the field. When he confronted his own fear of failure and the collapse of that dream, he didn’t bail—he embarked on a journey that led him into sports psychology and ultimately to revolutionize how high performers train their heart under pressure. And in this episode, we go deep into what it takes to rebuild when your identity is shattered and discover excellence fused with peace. Jim and I talk about what it’s like to go through failure that feels public, permanent, and personal. He shares what it took to confront the shame, rebuild from the ground up, and discover that leadership isn’t about titles or trophies—it’s about who you are when everything else is stripped away. His story is raw and real, but it’s also filled with hope. We dive into the mindset shifts that kept him going when most people would’ve quit, and how he found a deeper purpose on the other side of loss. Jim doesn’t sugarcoat the process—he’s honest about the mistakes, the doubts, and the long road back. But through it all, he shows us that true greatness isn’t found in the spotlight. It’s forged in the shadows, in the moments when no one’s watching, and you still choose to rise. If you’ve ever faced a setback that felt too heavy to carry, or wondered how to lead when you don’t feel like you’ve got anything left to give, this conversation will remind you that failure isn’t final. It’s often the very soil where your greatest calling starts to grow. Key Takeaways: Why leadership is revealed in failure, not just success How to confront shame and rebuild your confidence after loss The mindset shifts that allow you to rise when life knocks you down Why titles and achievements will never define true leadership How to find your deeper purpose in the middle of setbacks This isn’t just about bouncing back—it’s about becoming someone stronger, wiser, and more impactful because of the storm. Lean in, and let Jim’s story remind you what it means to lead when it matters most. — Max Out. ⁠👉 SUBSCRIBE TO ED'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL NOW 👈⁠ → → → CONNECT WITH ED MYLETT ON SOCIAL MEDIA: ← ← ← ➡️ ⁠INSTAGRAM⁠ ➡️⁠FACEBOOK⁠ ➡️ ⁠LINKEDIN⁠ ➡️ ⁠X ⁠ ➡️ ⁠WEBSITE⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Success Starts Where Comfort Ends

    Success Starts Where Comfort Ends
    Aug 21 2025
    The Road Less Traveled: Why Struggle Means You’re on the Right Path If everybody around you is cheering you on, chances are… you’re not playing big enough. The truth is, the journey to greatness isn’t supposed to feel comfortable. It’s filled with resistance, rejection, doubt, and moments of deep loneliness. And as painful as that can feel, those are actually the signs you’re on the right road—the road less traveled, the road to freedom, and the road to becoming the person you were born to be.In this episode, I break down what it really looks like to pursue success—not the highlight reel you see on social media, but the real, gritty, lonely process that comes with choosing to live differently. I share why feelings like fear, anxiety, rejection, and even isolation are not signs you’re failing, but green lights that you’re moving in the right direction. When you feel like giving up, when the yield signs in life tempt you to take the easy path, that’s the exact moment you have to decide: I will not yield.I also tell one of the most powerful stories from my own life—how years of setbacks, rejection, and persistence led to a miracle I never saw coming: helping my sister regain her vision. That moment reminded me that staying the course on the road less traveled doesn’t just change your life—it creates ripple effects you can’t even imagine for the people you love.This conversation is about more than chasing your dreams. It’s about recognizing that the pain, doubt, and struggle you’re experiencing are proof that you’re in the right place. And if you stay on that road—committed, serving others, and refusing to yield—you will not only achieve your dreams, but unlock blessings and opportunities far beyond anything you could picture today.Key Takeaways: • Why rejection, fear, and isolation are actually signs you’re on the right road• The difference between the crowded, comfortable path and the road less traveled• Why commitment creates freedom—not bondage—in your life• The role of service in lighting the path when the road feels dark• A powerful personal story of how persistence led to a miracle for my sister• How staying the course opens doors to dreams you can’t even imagine yetYou were born for something great. Don’t yield. Stay on the road less traveled—because that’s where the miracles live.
