Disrupting Your Performance with Coach and NYT Bestselling Author Jim Murphy

In this episode of the Disruption Lab podcast, Patrick Leddin sits down with Jim Murphy, author of Inner Excellence: Train Your Mind for Extraordinary Performance and the Best Possible Life. Jim shares his remarkable journey—from professional baseball and FedEx, to years of solitude in the desert, to coaching world-class athletes and leaders.

They discuss what true success really means, why purpose must come before self-focus, and how to perform under pressure with clarity and courage. Jim also tells the incredible story of how his book went from selling just a couple copies a day to more than 200,000 nearly overnight—after Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown was spotted reading it during a playoff game.

Along the way, Jim even coaches Patrick through some of his own current challenges—reminding us all that opportunities, fears, and growth are part of every journey.

Whether you’re an athlete, a leader, or simply someone navigating disruption in life, this conversation will challenge and inspire you to live with greater purpose. Learn more at www.innerexcellence.com
