On this episode of The Jon Gordon Podcast, I’m joined by Jim Murphy, author of Inner Excellence [https://a.co/d/eLD0WAU], for a powerful conversation about purpose, perseverance, and what happens when quiet impact meets a viral moment.  Jim’s story is one of those overnight-success tales that actually took decades. After years of speaking, coaching, and writing for athletes and leaders behind the scenes, one unexpected moment on an NFL sideline, a book in the hands of A.J. Brown, and a few words from the broadcast team sent Jim’s work into the spotlight. What happened next? His book went from ten copies sold in a week to nearly half a million. We talk about what it’s like to go from overlooked to bestselling almost overnight, the deeper mission behind Inner Excellence [https://a.co/d/eLD0WAU], and how Jim stayed grounded through all the noise. Most of all, we dive into the why behind his work and the calling to help others live and lead with love, joy, and true inner power. If you’ve ever wondered whether doing the right work for the right reasons still matters, this episode will answer that with a resounding yes. This isn’t just a story about a book. It’s a reminder that impact happens when you stay faithful to the mission, even when no one’s watching. Tune in and be inspired by Jim’s journey and the truth that the best is yet to come.   About Jim, #1 New York Times bestselling author Jim Murphy is a Performance Coach to some of the best athletes and leaders in the world. He began his career as a professional baseball player in the Chicago Cubs organization. After experiencing vision issues that ended his playing career, Murphy coached with the Texas Rangers as well as the South African Olympic baseball team. He has worked with some of the world’s best golfers, including world champions, FedEx Cup champions, and world #1’s. The majority of Murphy’s clients have the best year of their careers in their first year working with him. In addition to coaching professional athletes and executives, Murphy leads Inner Excellence offsite retreats around the globe.

I share practical strategies to address the root causes behind team conflicts and reveal why simply ignoring or patching over disagreements rarely leads to lasting harmony. Learn how to foster real connection, build trust, and create an environment where everyone feels valued, even when there’s tension.

Have you ever felt like there’s a book in you that needs to be written? Do you have a story and message you want to share with the world? Have you wanted to write and publish a book but weren’t sure how to do it and felt overwhelmed with all the different options? I’ve been there. I know what it’s like to be filled with excitement thinking about a book I want to write only to get stuck the minute I start trying to write it. The clutter, fear and insecurity keeps you from sharing the book you know you are meant to write. I believe everyone has a book in them and that’s why I hosted a free webinar to clear the clutter and fill you with the information and encouragement you need to get started. In this episode, I’m sharing the full audio from that recent webinar where I walk you through how I eventually found my way through the clutter and wrote 32 books, including 18 best sellers that have sold millions of copies. Along with my wife Kathryn, who leads Gordon Publishing, we share everything you need to know about writing, publishing, speaking, and launching a best-selling book that makes a big impact. In this enlightening and informative session, we cover: * How to know when it’s time to write a book * The three different options you have when deciding how to write your book * Several ways you can get your book published and find the right fit for you * How to come up with a great title * Proven strategies to build an audience for your book * Key marketing tips when launching your book and sharing it with the world * How to leverage your book to do more speaking and leverage speaking to sell more books   Here’s a few additional resources for you… Ready to publish the book that builds your platform and make an impact?
