Brown. We talk about mental toughness under pressure, not as a cliché, but as a spiritual, heart-level skill set for real life: sales pitches, hard conversations, big presentations, and yes, Game 7 moments.Jim shares how losing his dream as a professional baseball player, moving to the desert, and giving away over half his possessions led him to a radical idea— if your heart is chasing possessions, achievements, looks, money, and status, you will never feel free, no matter how “successful” you get.If you’ve ever been results-obsessed, anxious, or secretly afraid of losing love and approval when you fail, this conversation will punch you in the gut, and then hand you a way out.
