Hey, this is Jon Gordon with the Jon Gordon Podcast. And today my guest is Jim Murphy. Jim, how you doing?

Great. Thanks for having me, Jon.

It's great to have you. So, so Jim, your life changed last year in a big way. AJ Brown was reading your book on the sidelines during a big football game. The broadcasters talked about it, and then next thing you know, It went viral and took off. Talk about that experience. What was it like being on your side as that was happening? And talk about what's happened since.

Yeah, it was very surreal. I was sitting in a hotel room watching a different football game, and I see these texts on my phone and it said, you gotta check out the Eagles-Packers wildcard game. And so I look at it and I was just kind of stunned a little bit. And then I was like, wow, this is Probably going to be something. Um, and it was definitely something. It started right away. Um, the texts and messages and everything, emails, just was nonstop. I couldn't keep up with them all. Um, that night there's a, um, TV station in LA wanted the book that night and it just was, um, um, amazing mayhem. Yeah.

The book is called Inner Excellence. Jim, how many copies did it sell before that happened?

Well, I actually just looked the other day, um, January of 2025, this year, 1st through the 11th, it sold 10 copies.

10 copies?

Yeah.

And then after this?

Um, since then, we're— I think we're pushing half a million. I love that. Somewhere getting closer.

Yeah. Did it become a bestseller right away after that on TV?

Yeah, the, the, um, well, Amazon, it went to number 1, and New York Times went to number 1. So—

How cool is that? What was that like for you? Because I know you've been doing the work in so many ways with not a lot of fanfare, but you've been out there making a difference, making an impact. You were doing it for the right reasons. You're one of the good guys. And so it's great to see this happen to you. But what was that like, again, knowing you weren't looking for this, but it found you?

Well, the, the, just an amazing thing that God would choose me to be the messenger. Um, and I realized I wasn't ready for this even probably a year or two ago. And so my whole life, I think God's been training me for this. And now I look back and I can see that the hardest times in my life was, was all the training that, that he was doing for me that at the time I just thought was painful.

Talk about your background. You were an athlete. What challenges that you faced in the past prepared you for this moment now?

Yeah, I was a pro athlete, played pro baseball for 5 years, played college football 1 year as well. And one of the biggest things is where your identity gets wrapped up, as you know and have written about, wrapped up in your role. And so then you try and control what you can't control, and it brings tension and fear and anxiety. And yeah, I had all those things. My identity was completely wrapped up in my role as a pro baseball player, minor league baseball player at the Cubs. And when And I felt like I lost everything.

And so after that happened, like losing everything, that's actually, obviously you have to lose your ego to then find, you know, who you truly are. How did, how did that happen for you? How did you eventually find your path in terms of wanting to write and speak? Like, I know, Jim, for me, my quest to get better myself, because I was a mental wreck as a college athlete and my teammates cannot believe what I'm doing now because I was such a mental wreck. That quest to be better myself led to a quest to help others get better. It sounds like you had a similar journey. So how did that move you towards wanting to become a writer and help others with this?

Yeah, I never wanted to become a writer. That was not my intention. I, uh, I was driving a truck for FedEx. I, I leave for the desert to go live a life of solitude and figure out what to do with my life after, you know, I had nothing. Like I said, I felt like I had nothing. And, uh, when I was there, I decided to become a personal coach to pro baseball players and teach them how to have peace and confidence under pressure. And first few athletes do amazing. And then, so I thought I'd put together a little manual on how to do it. And that turned into 5 years of full-time writing and research that became the book Inner Excellence.

Wow. How long did you spend in solitude by yourself?

Um, well, it was relative solitude. Um, I knew 3 people when I went to Tucson, and it's not like I was in a teepee or an ert or yurt. Um, I was, uh, uh, well, I lived in the baseball academy for a few months, which had no showers. So I would shower at the LA Fitness. Um, but the thing that really always reminds me of my time in the desert was New Year's Eve. It was either my first or second one where I'm alone in an empty house and I hear a noise. I go outside and I see fireworks, and that's when I realized it was New Year's Eve. So, um, yeah, I was in town or on the suburbs, but, um, I was really trying to not, um, socialize or date or just— every day was the same except for Sundays, go to church.

Wow.

And then as you were doing that, you were coaching baseball players, you started to see them have success. They You helped them with their game and their mind. What was it about your approach that worked? Can you pinpoint like the one thing that really made a difference or the few things that you do that help?

Yeah, the big thing I think when you look at inner excellence compared to say sports psychology is the heart is the key to your life, your spirit, your will. So it's much deeper than just thinking positive thoughts or affirmations and all the great things that we do in sports psychology, visualizing and goal setting, very helpful. Um, Inner Excellence is the belief that your heart is the key to your life. And, um, if you want to have a huge impact on your life, your kid's life, anyone's life, you need to get much deeper. You need to get to their greatest fears and dreams and, and to the subconscious level. And so, um, Inner Excellence is about getting to that level and getting to the heart and training it.

One of my favorite quotes of yours is, when you are selfless, you're fearless. Why is that? Why is it that when you are selfless, you are fearless?

Well, there's— right away you can think about when you're at your very best and you've worked with superstars for many, many years, when they're at their best or when you're at your best, is there a concern for self? Like, what are people going to think about me? And there's no thoughts about self, right? Whatsoever. It's like when you're in that zone, fully present, by definition, when you're fully present, you're not thinking about self. You're not thinking about past or future. You're totally caught up and absorbed in the moment. And so We know that if you've worked with, I mean, just think about your own life as a viewer. When you're at your very best, you're not concerned. There's no self-protection or self-consciousness. And so it's, it's what I call selfless. Also, one of the, the kind of the thesis of inner excellence is that the biggest challenges that we have in performance and in life is getting in our own way in what I call self-centeredness. This is self-referential life that we have to live in order to just live. You know, we've got to be safe and look both ways when we cross the street and feed and bathe ourselves. But that constant thinking about self triggers the subconscious, which has 2 main roles, is to protect you and to line up your beliefs with your results, or results with your beliefs rather. And that protection is, is always looking at circumstances and context around you 24 hours a day and saying, is there anything in this context that, that matches some painful memory in the past. And so when we think about ourselves, we've got this subconscious that's constantly reminding us of our failures and weaknesses, and it creates this, this comparison and this anxiety and fear when you think about yourself.

So I have this conversation with, with friends all the time, and we talk about the subconscious, and I have a thought about what the subconscious is. People often say the subconscious, the subconscious. Well, what is the subconscious? Where is this? Where is it? What is it? Where is it? What would you define as the subconscious? I know what I think, but what would you say it is?

Yeah, I think of the subconscious as the, the part of your mind that, that runs your body or the part of your, your being that runs your body in concert with your heart. And so it runs your physiology and things that you do without thinking. It's the, it's the awareness that you have when you, when you take in the world through your senses, your subconscious filters it first. So the conscious mind is very limited, can only think of, say, 5 to 7 things at a time. But the subconscious can, can take in thousands of pieces of information at a time. And so the subconscious is, is where it's at. Like, if you're a Major League Baseball player and, you know, now they're throwing the ball 100 miles an hour, so you have less than, than half a second to— from the ball when it releases his hand to get to the batter. And so you can't be thinking, um, should I swing, should I not? You just have to be there in the moment and let your subconscious Uh, respond.

Your research from HeartMath shows that we actually experience things in our consciousness so often, 5 seconds, up to 5 seconds before it actually happens. So I think those baseball players who are able to know what pitch is coming have an intuitive sense. They're connected in the moment. They have a sense of what's coming. Their consciousness actually knows before it happens, and that's how they're able to Hit the ball the way they do. Going back to the subconscious. Yeah, I, I, it's the soul. So I think we both agree your subconscious is actually your soul and you have an ego cuz you actually have a soul that's a unique expression. It's a spiritual DNA, a uniqueness that you know yourself as yourself, Jim Murphy. And that soul that you have is an expression of you. And that's actually why we have an ego. You have an ego cuz you have a soul, cuz it actually is a sense of self. Otherwise you would just be spirit.

Yeah.

And spirit without soul, there'd be, uh, no uniqueness. You would just be a spirit. You wouldn't be a person. And so the soul makes you you. So I think we, we agree on the same thing. It's like you said, it's a part of your mind. And when you say mind, you're not talking brain, you're talking about being and soul, clearly.

Yeah. And when I think of ego, there's, there's so much overlap, as I think kind of you're saying, um, with, with mind, body, spirit. Like, where does one begin? Where does one end? It's, it's hard to say. When I think of ego, I have a definition for it that may not be the Webster's definition or the legal definition. But I think of this, I think it's so helpful to understand that there's a part of your mind that we all have that's always threatened and always comparing and never satisfied. We have a deep need for love. It's our deepest need is for love and acceptance. And we have a part of our mind that's always threatened and it's always saying like, hey, if you're not successful here, you're going to lose what you need most, which is love and acceptance. acceptance. And in fact, you're not just going to lose that, you're going to gain something that's your greatest fear, which is rejection. And so we always— we all have this part of our mind that's, that's constantly threatened. And mastering that is, is, is, um, is one of the major parts of inner excellence.

And you went— you said you went to church. You would also obviously agree that that's a battle within our soul between the positive and the negative, the love and the fear, the separation and the oneness, the disconnection and the connections, because When you're connected to God and you're truly connected, you don't really feel fear. When you are disconnected and separate, that's where the fear comes in. And it's almost like when you're, when you're apart from God and you feel like you're trying to find your way home, you're like a lost kid, afraid and scared and finding your way home. But when you find that connection and that oneness, you're now home. You feel that peace and your joy.

Yeah, the way I think about it is you're either walking in love or fear at all times.

Yes.

Love is, is, uh, um, you're, you have this ability, this creative ability to see possibilities, um, to have joy, 'cause joy comes from love. And, uh, when you're walking in fear, it's self-protection and self-concern, self-consciousness. And so I think we're always walking in one or the other. And obviously when you're walking in love, then you've got some, some opportunities and possibilities. When you're walking in fear, then everything's a threat.

So you've been doing all this incredible work for years, and yet the world didn't see it or recognize it right away. But then obviously with AJ Brown and the incredible attention you received from, from the media and from readers, I was going different places and people actually had your book in hand cuz they had just read it. They saw it on TV, so they bought it. And so the question is, okay, so now you get the attention, you have the media, you have people that are now wanting you to speak and reaching out. How do you stay grounded in what's important to you and not allow the ego to get in your way? Because I've been there myself, right? I've done this for a long time now. I've fought those battles and I really believe I've won those battles in many ways, but I've had attention for a while now. What are you doing now in that case to stay grounded and stay focused on what matters most?

Yeah, spending time with the poor is probably the biggest thing. So, um, When I think of how this all unraveled was, was I think of day 1 is January 12th when AJ Brown, because that was when everything started. About day 3, my, my heart was racing and just a lot of adrenaline. And it was a bit overwhelming. And it was overwhelming mostly because I was starting to think about myself and what do I do? And wow, look what's happening to me. And don't screw this up, Jim. And then God had a little talk with me, a little sit down. He said, look, Jim, this is not about you. You did not do this. You're not the one doing it. Chill out. Your purpose is going to stay the same. You're not going to go buy a Ferrari and change your whole life. What's going to change is you'll maybe have a few more opportunities to do some of these things, to live your purpose. And so that was huge. And at the Super Bowl, I had this fun little Um, I played college football. I love football. And, uh, um, you know, I had a vested interest in this game of who wins. And, uh, you know, I know some of the players and, and so I really wanted to go. Never been to the Super Bowl. I'm in, I'm in New Orleans for 9 days, get there a week ahead of time. And, um, but I said, God, you know what? Um, I'm not going to pay thousands of dollars for a ticket if you want me to go. Either have someone give me a ticket or, um, or give me one for face value. And so that didn't happen. So I watched the game from my $800 or $900 a night Holiday Inn Express hotel room, um, by myself. And, uh, when I was there, I realized why I did not go to the game because God had some things to tell me. Um, he told me a couple of things. One of them was, was you're going to really need to dive into your disciplines. especially the spiritual disciplines. But the one that's most memorable, um, was he reminded me when I first started to work with, with, uh, star athletes and, and people that had sort of a celebrity status. And I remember when I first started to work with them, you know, they're kind of— they're on a pedestal. And I was like, oh wow, it's cool. You have to hang out with these people. And then you get to go to the nice restaurants and, and be on the nice golf courses and all these things. And I was like, after a while, I was like, You know what's going to happen, Jim, if you just continue like this? You're going to need the help more than them. Like, they need help because they're attached to their results, what they want and can't control, and they're immersed in this world of these circumstances that they really like and don't want to lose. And if you just do that the whole time, you're going to get caught up in it too. And so I set this goal. I don't know, um, how close I ever came to reaching it, but The goal was to spend equal time with, with higher status celebrity types as with the homeless. And so God reminded me of that and, uh, um, on Super Bowl Sunday.

Wow. That's a really great lesson to, uh, spend more time. I went and spoke to a high school the other day, well, 2 high schools. And, um, these were all kids that, you know, obviously struggling. They had a couple suicides in the district and I did that the other day. And it was a great reminder, like, Do this for this reason. Just doing that selflessly, I didn't get paid for it. It was really to make a difference. And that reminds you of what matters most. And I told a friend that today. I said, hey, try to do pro bono events during the year, like at least 5 to 10 if you can, because that will remind you of why you're doing this work and what really matters when you're not getting paid for it. And you actually care as much, if not more, when you're getting paid or not getting paid. It doesn't matter, right? It doesn't matter whether you're getting paid or not. And I think that's the case. That's really a great lesson to spend time to keep you do things Things that keep you humble on the journey. So how has your life changed since January 12th?

Well, one thing that's kind of interesting, in 2023 and 2024, I went to about 23 countries working with clients. And so I had a good life. This year I've been to a different city probably every 4 to 5 days, except for I'm now a resident of Spain, actually. So I'll be spending more time in Europe. But, um, how'd you do that?

How'd you become a resident of Spain?

Well, during the midst of all the, the craziest part of all this was January 12th to April 29th. So January 12th is when it all started. The following Tuesday, I signed with United Talent Agency. The very next day, it became a number one New York Times bestseller. Um, February 14th, I signed with a 3-book deal with Hachette Book Group. Since then, I've done several hundred interviews. Um, and so the craziest time was when the book launched April 29th. I was on the Today Show and in the studio in New York. And so this big buildup, um, the Friday before, um, they had me lined up for 17 interviews, including a, uh, um, a 3-hour book signing at the end. And so, um, yeah, very, uh, um, intense schedule. And in the middle of that was— I had already planned on trying to be a— to get this place in Spain and become a resident. The deadline was April— well, April 3rd, they got rid of the residency program. So April 2nd, we got our, our, uh, um, application in, and we got it, thankfully. But it was a little hectic.

So if you own a property in Spain, you can become a resident there and a citizen of Spain?

Yeah, there's, there's a few different ways to do it. Um, yeah.

Awesome. I would wanna do Italy. I think I love Italy.

If I— That was my first choice initially, but then I realized, um, after I spent places, um, time in both places, I was like, Jim, they speak Italian in Italy. You don't speak Italian. And, uh, um, I'm, I'm studying Spanish. And so I was like, okay, well, Italy's very close. And so—

When I was in Italy though, they spoke English so well. You, you didn't need to speak Italian. I almost felt bad. I'm like, I should be speaking your language, but you're speaking mine. I felt like I was in America, but yet I was in Italy and it was beautiful there. People were amazing. And obviously—

Italy's amazing.

Yeah. And the food is incredible. But hey, Spain is awesome too. That's, that's great. So your life's changed in, in that way. And then now you've done a 3-book deal. So what's your next book that you're working on right now?

Well, I, so the 3 books are Inner Excellence that got republished on April 29th. And then, uh, this—

Oh, it got republished under, under a different publisher.

Yeah. So that's—

They bought the rights to that one.

That's right, because I self-published.

Oh, you self-published? I remember getting a copy of it. I believe somehow I got a copy sent to me when, when it first came out, and I remember looking at it going, oh, I love this title and I love, I love the COVID I didn't, to be honest, have time to read it at that time, but I remember getting it and going, wow, that's a great, uh, great book. And then they bought the rights and then they basically said, let's do 2 other books as well, right?

Yeah. And so the other book that I had just written, this one that came out November 6th, 2024. And so The Best Possible Life: How to Live with Deep Contentment, Joy, and Confidence No Matter What. And so they bought the rights to that, and that's why I'm here in central New Jersey at a cabin. Um, the— their editor took the manuscript and gave me their feedback, and so we're finishing up the final edits for that on Monday. And, um, March— end of March, I think the 31st, it'll be out in bookstores.

That's awesome. What is your, your third one? Do you have that in mind yet?

Yeah, the third one will be, uh, the Inner Excellence Workbook, the 90-day challenge.

Inner Excellence Workbook.

Yeah.

To take the book and actually do practices, exercises with it.

That's right.

Wonderful. That's amazing, Jim. That's incredible. It's been a really cool journey to watch you grow and watch this happen. Again, I think this is a great lesson for, for so many others too, right? Do the work, show up, make a difference, and you just never know what could happen, but you have to put your work out there in some way. Do you know how AJ Brown got ahold of that book in the first place?

Yeah, I do. So AJ got it from his teammate, Moreau Ajomo. One of the defensive linemen that dominated the Kansas City Chiefs in that Super Bowl. And so he got it from— he was a University of Texas football player and he got it from the Athletes in Action rep, DJ Jarrettelli.

So a book gets passed to one person that gets passed to another and it gets shared to another. And that's how it happens. Yeah, that's always the way. It's like you just got to put it out there and people start sharing it. And that was Athletes in Action. You said that's probably a talk that you gave to someone or some group. That saw you and then bought.

You know, actually, it's a really cool story how this happened. Yeah. So, um, I've been building houses with Youth With A Mission, um, Homes of Hope division in Mexico for—

I, I went there too. I went there. Love that group. Amazing people. Love them.

So their 31st— 35th anniversary is coming up next week, and I'm one of the keynote speakers.

Okay. I love them.

Yeah. Amazing. So we build a house in 2 days, you know, as you've done it. It's, it's, it's really incredible.

Yep.

And so I was doing this amazing thing with them. And then one of them, it might have been my friend Tim, said, hey, you've got to meet Guy East. He's a former pro cyclist. And he brings pro teams here to build these, these houses. And so I met him. And then he invites me to a retreat, a Christian retreat with pro athletes and coaches 2 years ago, 2020. 3 or 3 years ago. And DJ was there. And so, yeah, it was a, it was a real gift to meet DJ.

See, there you go. It's like you went somewhere, it was shared, and then someone else got it and shared. And I can look back on my, my journey, same thing. I mean, when I wrote the, when I wrote Training Camp, we gave 1,000 copies to the FCA, which gave them out to all the coaches at one of the events. And they then from there, again, I was a, a new author, really. That was maybe my 3rd or 4th book. And that got passed around to all these coaches and all these people and all these incredible relationships developed as a result of that, you know. So just put your work out there, have good intentions, make a difference. And you weren't really seeking the limelight though, were you?

No, not at all.

No. And then you now know it found you. not for you, but for a bigger purpose, to be a blessing through you.

Yeah, yeah, for sure. Like I said, I couldn't have handled it earlier. It was just too much, too much focus on me, especially the first few weeks. They just kept wanting to talk about this author whose book went from 523,000 ranked to number 1. And, uh, at first I was like, why do they keep talking about me? But then I started thinking about, I guess, kind of the American dream is to be rich and famous. And so I understood why they were talking about me. Um, but I still understand that, that inner excellence is, is really understanding that self-centeredness is the biggest challenge that you face in performance and in life. It leads to fear and selfless is fearless. And so, um, I know that there's no way that I could have done any of this. I mean, I tried for years to share the message in a bigger way and, uh, um, just kind of, um, Going along at my own pace. And then all of a sudden God said, okay, now I think we're ready.

Yep. And I know this, Jim, every author like me is thinking, why wasn't that my book on the sideline? Why couldn't that have been my book? I remember being on SportsCenter with my book with, with Calipari, and he was talking about using it with Willie Cauley-Stein, and they featured the book, showed the COVID that kept running during the Final Four. I got so many calls and emails. During that time, the book took off in a big way after that, but it wasn't, it wasn't during a huge playoff game like what you had in a millions of people watching in that exact moment, seeing it and hearing about it. That was something unique and special. And I don't think that's really happened before like that. When I, when I look back and I think about different books mentioned and so forth, it was never mentioned quite like that. So it really was special. Definitely a— Uh, an act of God in many ways. But don't you agree that we teach what we need to learn, like, along this journey? Like, I know this about you. You didn't even tell it, but I— well, a little bit you told it, but you definitely struggled with, with ego, and you definitely struggled with focusing on self. And yet God would take you into the desert, into the wilderness to become someone who would lose self, and then obviously give you this message to teach about losing self. And then the focus is now on self again. And here you are. Again, at a higher level now having to really live the message, which I appreciate about you. You're aware of it, you know it, but you could see the pattern and how it plays out. It's been, it's been fun to probably watch for you, for yourself and your own journey to see it unfold, right?

Yeah. Just such incredible thing to be a part of this, this journey and be a part of anyone's life. And, uh, um, the, the biggest thing to understand is that Surrender is the most powerful thing anyone can do. If you want to look at the, um, maybe the most powerful system ever for life change, it's the 12 steps. Millions and millions of lives have changed dramatically. And step number 3 is to surrender your, your life and your will over to God as you understand him. And I, the more, um, possessions or money or achievements or status we have or looks, the harder it is to surrender. I mean, this makes sense. I mean, if you've got millions of dollars, give it all up is is hard. If you got no money, then giving it all up is easy. And so I had to go through some really hard things in order to surrender my life to that, my will and my life over to God as I understood him, because I was not going to surrender when things were going really good.

Yeah. Did you, did you have an issue with alcohol that you had to let go of?

I am a big drinker, but it's, it's really, and I do a lot of shots. I got a lot of shots in the, in the fridge, but it's ginger shots. And I drink a lot of kombucha and kind of addicted to Olipop. So there's that.

Did you stop drinking years ago?

I still drink. I have some wine once in a while. Like—

So that's not— so the 12 steps is not something that you put into practice in your own life, so to speak?

Well, turning my life and will over to God, as I understand him. Yes, for sure. I haven't had a problem with alcohol, though, thankfully.

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. You know, when you talk about surrender, every day I walk, you know, I really just take time to surrender. I say a prayer, P-R-A-Y-E-R. I go through this acronym and then I surrender. And I just say, God, your will, not my will. Use me for your purpose. Guide me towards my purpose. Have me be what you want me to be and have me do what you want me to do. And just use me, God, and help me get rid of myself. Like, I let go of my ego, my pride, my fear. I just let go of all of it, God. And I just, that's, I pray and I just surrender. And when I do that, man, I feel so much better. Like I let go of me, I let go of me and I make room for God to move through me and I just feel so much better. So what you're saying, Jim, is, is so true. And you know, I do love your quote, when you're selfless, you're fearless. I, I, it's a quote I wish I would've came up with. And, but I want you to know when I share it, I actually give, give credit to you. 'Cause I really believe that you gotta give credit to people who come up with quotes and intel— intellectual ideas, even though we don't, we own nothing, but The soul that you are shared that, and it's meaningful. So it's meaningful to me to, to give credit, but I just love that. Like everyone listening, when you are selfless, you're fearless. So let go of self, surrender, and allow God to move through you, and you'll experience that peace, that joy, that power. You know, Jim, I, I think one thing, and I wanna close with this, one thing that you touch on that we both really feel strongly about, I, I just know it's a big part of your work, just listening to you and obviously in your books.

Yeah.

Is that we're meant to live powerfully. I mean, I think people think of like surrendering being weak or being spiritual and godly. You're just soft and weak, but you're talking about inner excellence. You are here as a, as a former athlete, you teach athletes. I think we both agree that, that in the surrender we find greater power and strength. And God wants us to have the strength and power to not live meekly, or I would say, I should say weakly. Meekly. Yes. Meekly surrendering to him, but. But powerfully in this world, to not be a bully in this world, but to impact this world. Can you expand on that?

Yeah. Oh yeah. Thanks for sharing that. So, John, I believe we're created to live with absolute fullness of life, to feel fully alive, heart, mind, and body, and to live the best possible life, a life of deep contentment, joy, and confidence, no matter what. I think that's what we're created for. The only thing that's a little bit difficult that I actually don't really like or care for too much is that The best possible life has one foot in joy and one foot in suffering. The suffering part's not my, not my favorite. But, um, but you know, if you look at, um, how to build strong muscles, you got to break it down. If you want wisdom, you got to go through things. You got to take risks if you want to be great. And, um, and you got to surrender your little strength for the unlimited power of the universe if you want to do something amazing with your life.

Amen. Jim Murphy. Inner Excellence. And the next book coming out, Jim, is— well, it's already out, but it's being, you know, done. What's it called again?

The Best Possible Life. Jim, how can people get a hold of you if they want to talk to you and have you speak to their team or connect with you and, and obviously hopefully have you coach them?

Jim, why Substack?

Um, I just, uh, my agent said that's, that's, uh, the best place to share your message. And, and, uh, you know, I want to be able to share this message with as many people as I can. Um, not for me, but, um, so people can have more of that selflessness and therefore fearlessness in their lives.

Let's go. Selfless, fearless Jim Murphy. Thanks, Jim. God bless you.
