The book that stopped us cold. Didn't even make it through Chapter 1. 📖 Book mentioned: Inner Excellence by Jim Murphy Jim Murphy's Inner Excellence was spotted on an NFL sideline and blew up nationally — and after reading the first few chapters, we get why. In this episode, we're breaking down the ideas that hit us hardest: the real definition of fear (hint: it has nothing to do with being scared), why high performers actually stop chasing results (and get them), and the concept of "total absorption" that might be the most important thing missing from your life right now.  Timestamps: 00:00:00 - Introduction 00:00:10 - Introducing the Book: Inner Excellence 00:00:59 - Initial Impressions and Expectations from the Book 00:01:40 - Discussion on High Performance 00:02:37 - Two Paths to Life: External vs Inner Development 00:06:10 - The Importance of Living in the Present 00:06:59 - Discussion on Fear as Self-Centeredness 00:13:40 - Implications of Attachment to External Elements 00:16:13 - Freedom of an Undivided Heart 00:19:07 - The Power of Total Absorption 00:24:52 - The Lies We Believe 00:26:50 - The Trap of Self-Centeredness 00:27:20 - Experiencing Life in Its Fullness 00:31:38 - The Importance of Reflection and Truth 00:32:08 - The Power of Reflection: Defining Your 'Why' 00:32:49 - The Role of Work and Excellence 00:34:22 - Living in the Present and Letting Go of Control 00:34:49 - Applying Inner Excellence in Real Life Justin's social: LinkedIn Twitter YouTube Sean's social: LinkedIn Twitter YouTube   SUBSCRIBE to the Sales Life Letter of Intent (our somewhat weekly newsletter on intentional sales life:

After a difficult 2025, Sean shares why he's shifting his focus from fixing the few things going wrong to appreciating the many things already going right. Justin pushes the other direction — discipline, goals, action, and building momentum in 2026. The result is an honest conversation about anxiety, gratitude, faith, visualization, work ethic, and what actually leads to a fulfilling life.   If you've ever chased success but still felt uneasy… this one will hit home.   Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction and Philosophical Musings 01:00 Reflecting on 2025 and Setting Goals for 2026 02:52 The Power of Gratitude 07:12 Visualizing Success and Overcoming Negativity 10:36 Focus and Discipline in Achieving Goals 17:34 Practical Applications of Gratitude 23:40 Letting Go of Anxiety and Embracing Faith   Justin's social: LinkedIn Twitter YouTube Sean's social: LinkedIn Twitter YouTube   SUBSCRIBE to the Sales Life Letter of Intent (our somewhat weekly newsletter on intentional sales life:
