Ever catch yourself thinking… “Why does this keep happening to me?” “I’ve done everything right…so why do things keep going wrong?” You’re not alone. But here’s the raw truth: That’s not just your frustration talking… That’s not just a bad attitude… That’s the victim mentality — and it’s robbing you of your greatness. We’ve ALL been there. But if you don’t recognize it fast, it’ll strip you of your momentum, your clarity, and your edge. Playing the victim isn’t an attitude problem. It’s an IDENTITY problem.  You’re not stuck. You’re just...

Think leadership is reserved for the guy with the title, the office, and the polished resume? You’re not alone. For years, I believed the same thing. Until I realized… Leadership isn’t a title — it’s a responsibility. And the truth is: you’re already a leader… whether you admit it or not. Every decision you make… Every conversation you have… Every time your kids, spouse, team, or community looks to you… You’re leading. The question is — how well? That’s why I brought Baker Donelson CEO and Everybody Leads author, Tim Lupinacci, on the Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™...

You ever feel like you’ve done everything right... You prepped. You trained. You put in the time. ...but you’re still second-guessing yourself? That nagging voice creeps in… “You’re not built for this” “You don’t have what it takes” “You can’t come through” Let me hit you with this… When you doubt yourself, you’re not just doubting your abilities — you’re doubting the God who gave them to you. That’s not a humility problem. It’s a faith problem. And that’s exactly what I’m going after in this week’s 5-Minute Drill on the Coming...

“I hope this works out…” You ever caught yourself saying that? Let’s be real — most high-achievers work hard and prepare well. But deep down, they’re still carrying doubt. And doubt under pressure? It’ll bury you. That’s why I had to get MLB All-Star, Shane Greene, on the Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™ show. This dude didn’t just pitch in the Big Leagues — he closed games on the biggest stages, for the game’s most storied franchises. And he lived the mental fight: from underdog to All-Star from overthinking to locked in. From hoping to BELIEVING. This episode...

You ever catch yourself saying things like… “You suck.” “You’re never gonna get this right.” “Why even try?” Now let me ask you this…   Would you ever say that to your wife? To your kids? To someone you lead? No shot. So why are you saying it to yourself? Let’s call it what it is… That voice in your head? It’s not keeping it real. It’s you being hostile with yourself. And it’s killing your momentum. The worst part? You’ve gotten so used to that self-sabotage, that you don’t even recognize it anymore. But your confidence does....

What’s your mindset when the battle chooses YOU? Do you shrink back and start counting your losses? Or do you stand up, lock in, and fight like hell to WIN — no matter how unfair it feels? Let’s be real… Most guys crumble when in battles they didn’t sign up for — cancer, career setbacks, family struggles, you name it. They start seeing defeat as inevitable instead of optional. That’s why I had to get retired Marine Corps Officer, C-Suite Executive, and battle-tested cancer warrior, Mike Ettore, on the Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™ show. Hands down, Mike’s story is a...
