5 Minute Drill | Play the Owner, Not the Victim
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 forgetting who you are…and what you’re truly capable of. That’s why this week’s 5-Minute Drill on the Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™ show is a must-listen. I’m breaking down a battle-tested, Bible-backed, brain science-supported strategy to help you: Recognize when you’ve fallen pray to the victim mentality Reframe your adversity into positive action Reclaim your identity as the person who OWNS his adversity In this episode, you'll hear: The real reason the victim mentality keeps showing up in high performers — and why it’s an identity issue, not just an attitude problem How a conversation with a struggling friend and a throwback to my D1 baseball days revealed the secret to rising above adversity What brain science and growth mindset research say about turning stress into fuel The biblical truth that reframes suffering as a catalyst for strength, character, and hope A breakdown of The Owner’s Lens™ — a 3-question strategy to flip adversity into opportunity Why taking ownership isn’t about denying pain — it’s about refusing to let the pain own you Key Quotes “When you know you’re a warrior in training who is owning the adversity — that adversity becomes your fuel.” - J.R. “Pain is part of your process.

Tim Lupinacci | Leadership Doesn't Require a Title

Tim Lupinacci | Leadership Doesn't Require a Title
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.™ show this week. Sure, he’s the CEO of a Top 100 US law firm, but he didn’t wait for that role to start leading — he started with something as small as a podcast, a car ride, and a commitment to show up better every day. Now he’s leading 1,300+ people AND pouring into underserved communities with his nonprofit. If you want to get better as a leader, or you’ve been doubting your influence or waiting for “the right time” to lead — don’t miss this episode. In this episode, you will hear: Why leadership isn’t about a title — and how to step into your influence right where you are The one mindset shift that helped Tim turn a $500M organization around and write his first book Why work-life balance is a myth — and what harmony actually looks like for high performers A behind-the-scenes look at Tim’s disciplined routine How to overcome people-pleasing and lead from your values with confidence and clarity What courageous leadership really requires — and a 7-letter acronym to help you live it daily Key Quotes "Everybody's a leader.” - Tim Lupinacci “Waters never part until your feet get wet… You have to take that step and believe in yourself.” - Tim Lupinacci “Work-life integration isn’t about balance. It’s about harmony.” - Tim Lupinacci “Courageous leadership is being confident, out front, unshakable, resilient, adaptable, having a growth mindset, and encouraging others.” - Tim Lupinacci Resources from this Episode Book: (USE code TIMLEADS for a discount) Website (Baker Donelson): Website (non-profit): LinkedIn: in/Tim-Lupinacci IG/FB: @timlupinacci Connect with J.R.

5 Minute Drill | Stop Self-Doubt In Its Tracks
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 Up Clutch with J.R.™ show. I’m breaking down the root of self-doubt — and it’s not what you think. Because your doubt? It’s not about lack of skill. It’s about your illusion of control. So, in this episode, I walk you through: Why your obsession with outcomes is feeding your fear The real reason your confidence crumbles under pressure Then, I give you a 3-step strategy to stop doubting and start leading with unshakable conviction and confidence. So, if you’re tired of playing small… If you’re sick of shouldering pressure like it’s your job… Then lock in to this episode! Let's get it! In this episode, you'll hear: Why self-doubt isn’t just a mindset issue — it’s a faith issue. The game-changing truth I shared with a pro athlete that helped flip his entire season. How Gideon’s story proves that God doesn’t call the confident — He confirms the called. A 3-step strategy to stop self-doubt in its tracks and move forward with conviction. The key difference between control and management — and how that shift unlocks freedom. Why verbal declarations grounded in truth are both spiritually sound and scientifically smart. Key Quotes “When you doubt your abilities…you’re actually doubting the ONE who gave you those abilities.” - J.R. “If you’re putting in the work…If you’re stewarding the gifts and talents and abilities God gave you…Then doubting yourself isn’t a humility issue — it’s a faith issue.” - J.R. “Control is about ownership. Management is about stewardship. And last I checked, we’re called to be stewards, not saviors.” - J.R. Connect with J.R.

Shane Greene | Crush Pressure. Destroy Doubt.

Shane Greene | Crush Pressure. Destroy Doubt.
“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 is for every leader, athlete, and executive who's tired of playing scared and is ready to show up ready for every fight they face. If that’s you, lock into this episode. In this episode, you will hear: Why hope is NOT a strategy (and what to do instead) How to grade yourself under pressure — and stay confident no matter the outcome The secret to turning your greatest weakness into your edge The power of your words — and how they literally shape your brain and environment Key Quotes “Hope is not a strategy. If I’m on the roof and you ask if I’ll catch you, and I say, ‘hopefully’ — are you going to jump?” “If you believe, then there’s no doubt. But if you’re hoping, then you’re doubting.” - Shane Greene “Baseball is probably the only sport in the world where you can do everything right and still lose.” - Shane Greene “Did I come to compete today? That’s the most important thing.” - Shane Greene “Your words are changing your water — and you can also change the water around you with the words that you're speaking.” - Shane Greene Resources from this Episode All Social Media: @Sagreeney Shane’s Book Recommendation: Connect with J.R.

5 Minute Drill | Watch Your Words: How Your Mouth May Be Killing Your Momentum
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. Your clarity does. Your consistency definitely does. Science confirms it. Scripture backs it. And your results? They’re revealing it. That’s why this week’s 5-Minute Drill on the Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™ show is one you can’t afford to miss. I share a quick-hitting, yet simple strategy that will help you… Spot the language that’s killing your momentum Replace it with truth rooted in Scripture Build a habit that rewires your mind and reclaims your edge So, if you’re done being your own worst enemy, and you’re ready to speak to yourself like the man God designed you to be — then lock into this episode. Let’s get it! In this episode, you will hear: Why your internal dialogue may be the #1 reason you're stuck, scattered, or self-sabotaging. The story of a Major League Baseball player’s self-talk meltdown — and the lesson I taught my sons on the spot. What science says about the damaging effects of negative self-talk on your brain, focus, and performance. How Proverbs 11:9 and the story of Gideon reveal the spiritual and practical power of your words. The biggest myths high-performers believe about “being hard on themselves” — and the trap it creates. A 4-step strategy to replace self-destructive language with truth that builds daily momentum. Key Quotes “Whether you realize it or not, your words are either driving your momentum or destroying it.” - J.R. “Your negative self-talk doesn’t just sting you. It kills your clarity. It kills your focus. It kills your flow.” - J.R. “Don’t confuse beating yourself down with keeping it real.” - J.R. “Your words matter. Not just the ones you speak out loud — But the ones on loop in your mind.” - J.R. “Momentum is connected to your mouth. So speak life. Speak truth. And let that shift fuel your next win.” - J.R.

Mike Ettore | Lead Like Your Legacy Depends On It
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 masterclass in resilience, grit, and leading a life with legacy in mind. Mike’s faced real enemies on the battlefield…and now he’s facing one in his own body. But the way he’s handling it is beyond inspiring. In this episode, you'll hear: How to adopt a "World’s Greatest" mindset when facing battles you didn’t choose — and why it could save your life (and leadership). Mike’s powerful strategy for mastering internal vs. external friction — and how it can immediately boost your resilience and focus. A practical reframe to help you stop shrinking in adversity and start leading yourself and others with unshakable confidence. Why building a lasting legacy requires daily, intentional action — and how Mike writes and leads with his "grandchildren’s grandchildren" in mind. The secret to balancing leadership and management without losing clarity, impact, or mission focus. A life-tested reason why “as goes the leader, so goes the team” — and how your daily example multiplies across generations. Key Quotes “Any single thing that you can do to stack the odds in your favor – even a slight odd increase – do it." - Mike Ettore "This cancer may in fact kill me, but I'll never die from it." - Mike Ettore "As a leader, you’re either getting better or you're stagnating." - Mike Ettore "As goes the leader, so goes the team — always." - Mike Ettore Connect with Mike LinkedIn: Website: Podcast: Books: Connect with J.R.

Ever feel like life just flipped the script on you? One day you’re clear, confident, moving with purpose. The next? You’re doubting everything… stuck in your own head. Welcome to uncertainty — for many, the great momentum killer. That big decision you can’t get clarity on? That opportunity you thought was secure…suddenly isn’t. That season of waiting that feels like it’s never going to end? Yeah. I’ve been there. My clients are there. Chances are, you’re there now. But here’s the gut check: You don’t need the whole playbook to move forward. Because the minute you start demanding perfect clarity before taking action? …You’re not leading anymore—you’re hiding. And let’s be real…leaders don’t hide.That’s why this week’s 5-Minute Drill on the Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™ show is built for YOU.

Dr. Don Wood | Reboot Your Mind: The Hidden Glitches Blocking Your Peace, Performance, and Purpose
Ever feel like you’re doing everything right…but something still feels off? Like no matter how hard you work, how much you win, how much you provide—it’s never quite enough. You’re crushing it professionally…but at home, you’re irritable, disconnected, or just numb. If that hits home, you’re not crazy. You’re not broken. You just might be glitching. 👀 This week on the Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™ show, I’m sit down with Dr. Don Wood—mindset and trauma expert, author, and the creator of the TIPP Method. He’s helped pro athletes and CEOs reboot their minds and experience next-level peace and performance. And for real, Don flipped the switch on how I view anxiety, depression, and that low-level restlessness that so many of us think we just need to push through. In this episode, you will hear: Why unresolved trauma creates mental “glitches” that hijack your peace and purpose The real reason you’re still battling anxiety or sabotage—even when life looks good How to use science and Scripture to reset your mind and step into God-designed freedom The one mindset practice you can start today to stop spirals and snap back into clarity Key Quotes “You must understand how your mind works. If you don't, you can never fix it.” - Dr. Don Wood “Trauma is a software glitch. If you don’t resolve it, your nervous system will keep firing like you’re still in danger.” - Dr. Don Wood “Anytime you have an emotion, feeling, or sensation, your mind is calling for an action. Fear wants you to run. But if you’re recalling fear from a past event, and you can’t act, that’s a glitch.” - Dr. Don Wood “The best thing you can do as a parent? Make your home safe. The world won’t treat your child like you can. You have the chance to be their safe place. That’s the greatest gift you can give them.” - Dr. Don Wood “When a negative thought creeps in, close your eyes, think about something positive, then describe what you see. You’ll reset the brain and won’t even remember the negative thought.” - Dr. Don Wood Connect with Dr. Wood TikTok: Instagram: Facebook: Website: Connect with J.R.

Jonny Gomes | Built for Pressure: How to Turn Adversity Into Your Edge
What’s your mindset when the pressure is ON? Do you freeze? Overthink? Choke? Or do you get present, dialed-in, and ready for the moment — no matter how big it is? Let’s be real… Most guys say they’re built for the big moments — but behind the scenes, they’re terrified of blowing it. They’re obsessed with the OUTCOME, not the OPPORTUNITY. That’s why I had to get 2x World Series Champion, Jonny Gomes, on the Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™ show. This dude’s life is a masterclass in pressure-tested performance. He’s survived a tragic car accident, survived a heart attack, and experienced more adversity before age 22 than most experience in a lifetime. But somehow, he still found a way to rise — and come up CLUTCH when it mattered most. In this episode, you will hear: How to dominate high-pressure moments without chasing outcomes The most important conversation you’ll ever have Why proving your doubters wrong is exhausting — and who to focus on proving right What today’s athletes — and parents — are getting wrong about grit Key Quotes "I never set my goals on the outcome... I just wanted the opportunity." - Jonny Gomes “The best coach that you'll ever surround yourself with is the dude in the mirror.” - Jonny Gomes "Stop trying to prove the haters wrong. Start proving the people in your inner circle right." - Jonny Gomes "It's not about remembering. It's about storing... the more you self-evaluate, the more storage you put in your brain." - Jonny Gomes Connect with Jonny Instagram (personal): @jonnygomesusa | Instagram (business): @indieproagency | Connect with J.R.

5 Minute Drill | How to Let Go to Level Up
You ever feel like God’s been stripping things away…and you’re left wondering what you did wrong? The contract falls through. A friend ghosts you. That “safe” comfort zone? Gone. Your first thought? “What the heck did I do?” But here’s the hard truth I had to face: God doesn’t prune because you’re failing. He prunes because he wants you to be fruitful. That’s why in this week’s 5-Minute Drill on the Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™ show, I’m breaking down a counterintuitive (but transformational) strategy to help you stop interpreting every loss as a punishment, reframe the setback you’re in as a setup for something greater, and let go without feeling like you're falling apart. So if you’ve ever felt like something’s being taken away because of something you did wrong — and you feel stuck in panic, guilt, or confusion because of it — then lock into this episode. Let’s get it! In this episode, you'll hear: The real reason God sometimes strips things away — and why it’s not rejection, it’s refinement Two personal stories that exposed where I was placing my faith — and how God used loss to level me up How to use the PRY Framework to respond to loss with clarity instead of chaos Brain science behind emotional hijacks — and how to calm your system when life blindsides you What Joseph’s story reveals about divine subtraction and long-term success Why letting go is actually the key to unlocking your next breakthrough Key Quotes “Stillness is spiritual strength training. You can’t be still with an upregulated nervous system.” - J.R. “You need to start seeing things from heaven’s perspective, not hell’s perspective.” - J.R. “God doesn’t multiply what we cling to. He multiplies what we surrender.” - J.R. Connect with J.R.

Keith Ferrazzi | The #1 Mistake Elite Leaders Make (And How to Fix It)
What do you do when your team is full of talent…but you're still carrying all the weight? You know what I’m talking about — that moment you realize you’re the one pushing every conversation forward… ...holding everyone accountable… ...keeping the mission alive. It’s exhausting.

5 Minute Drill | Avoid this Accountability Mistake
Asking someone else to hold you accountable is a good thing, right? Well, not exactly. If you’re anything like me, you’ve heard some variation of "Accountability is what separates the elite from the average.” So, it seems natural that if you want to win and achieve your goal, you’d approach someone to hold you accountable. I did this for years. But here’s the hard truth: If you’re relying on others to hold you accountable, you’re missing the point of accountability. For years, I believed that accountability meant someone else tracking my progress…reminding me to do the work…pushing me when I slowed down. But after seeing this attempt at accountability fail over and over, I realized the biggest mistake I was making - I was putting the responsibility of accountability on someone else instead of creating a system for it myself. But the good news? I found the fix. In this week’s episode of the Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™ show, I break down the one mistake that’s holding you back from true accountability and the success you deserve — and then give you a simple strategy to get it right. No more waiting for someone else to chase you down. Elite performers don’t ask for accountability — they create an environment where accountability thrives. So, if you’re tired of relying on others to keep you in check and you’re ready to take control of your success, then lock into this episode. Let’s get it! In this episode, you'll hear: Why accountability starts with you How to build a system of accountability that works for you The key steps to creating an environment where you’re automatically held to a higher standard How to make sure your performance stays elite—no reminders needed.

Patric Young | Turn Your Darkest Pain Into Your Brightest Victory
What’s your typical response when life paralyzes you? When you feel your pain more than your purpose? For most people - it’s the Victim Mentality (aka “Why is this happening to me?”). That’s why I’m excited to get on the mic with a guy who knows all about dealing with pain. And the way he’s dealing with it is BEYOND INSPIRATIONAL. Today, I have the honor of sitting down with former University of Florida basketball standout and professional basketball player turned ESPN Analyst, Patric Young. Just 10 days before his wedding, Patric was involved in a car accident that left him paralyzed from the waist down. But as Patric will tell you, his accident wasn’t life-changing…it was life-affirming. As Patric shares his stories, he shares insights on overcoming the Runner-up Mindset and the sheer determination that turns adversity into a mission. In this episode, we unpack the paradox of control versus management, leaning into the idea that sometimes, letting go is the first step to truly grasping what matters. From the Parable of the Talents to the wisdom of managing life's manageables, Patric's narrative instills a sense of purpose and calls us to a deeper understanding of our true identity and the power of perseverance, even when life throws its hardest curveballs. Patric’s infectious humor and spirited anecdotes offer a fresh perspective on integrating purpose and faith into our daily lives. If you want a new perspective about overcoming life’s toughest pains, then don’t miss today’s episode. In this episode, you'll hear: Overcoming the Runner Up Mindset™. The revelations Patric experienced while being in the hospital for 128 days. What you must realize before you make any transition in life. The concept of "managing the manageables" instead of trying to control everything. Discovering true identity and purpose through self-awareness and aligning with one's true self. Embracing challenges with gratitude and an "even if" mentality inspired by faith and resilience.

5 Minute Drill | Ditch the Do-Over Mentality
Struggling with setbacks can feel like a constant uphill battle.

This episode goes against the ever so annoying 'new year, new you' mantra. It's a deep dive into the potency of recognizing when to reset vs. restart. Realignment isn't about scraping everything and starting from scratch — it's about recalibrating back to our core strengths and drawing clarity from the victories of our past. So, if you want a mindset that will actually position you to bring out your best and help you achieve your goals, then lock in to today’s episode. Let’s get it! In this episode, you will hear: The importance of shifting your paradigm from “restart” to "reset,” especially when facing life’s challenges. J.R.’s personal experiences on resetting in the areas of mindset, marriage, finances, and health. Strategies to recalibrate to your core strengths, and leveraging past successes. Differentiating between the pressure of "starting over" and the grace of a strategic reset. Encouragement and actionable steps to reset and realign with your 2025 goals. Connect with J.R.

5 Minute Drill | Break the Assumption Cycle
Have you ever wondered why our closest relationships sometimes falter despite our best intentions? This episode takes a hard look at the consequences of taking those we care about for granted and the insidious nature of assumptions. We weave through personal anecdotes and expert insights, highlighting the invisible yet significant impact of acting with intention in maintaining the vitality of our closest relationships. In today’s 5 Minute Drill, we also unpack leadership expert, John Maxwell’s, stance that “the biggest leadership mistake that leaders make is that they lead by assumption.” It’s a dangerous trap in leadership that happens all too often in relationships - especially if you’ve been in a relationship or have been married for a good amount of time. It’s something we’re all guilty of, even outside of relationships. I’m going to help increase your awareness around this. So, if you want to prevent the problems that come with the assumption trap, then lock in to today’s episode. In this episode, you'll hear: The detrimental effects of unspoken expectations in personal and professional relationships. The role of intentional communication and gratitude in preventing complacency and conflict. Insights from leadership expert John Maxwell on the pitfalls of leading by assumption. Strategies to combat the hedonic treadmill. The power of visualization and mindfulness in raising one's happiness baseline and fostering appreciation. Practical advice for improving your impact and reliability in life. Connect with J.R.

Del Matthews | Answer When Opportunity Knocks
“Jesus, take the wheel.” No, I’m not admitting I’m a Carrie Underwood fan. I don’t know about you, but whenever I hear her song or hear one of my fellow Southern sisters say the phrase, my initial reaction is, “Ha! Easier said than done.” Because us highly driven people LOVE us some control, right? We LOVE the driver’s seat…calling all the shots. But here’s what I’ve learned - both from my journey and walking alongside some of the best in the world… The person who thinks he’s in control is the one more likely to lose it. So, today, I’m on the mic with a guy who knows all about the challenge of giving the keys over to God and trusting that He’ll get you to where you’re supposed to be. Major League Baseball Vice President and longtime baseball executive, Del Matthews, keeps it real with me and shares insights on how to let go when everything inside is saying to hold on. If you want to tap into more of the courage and confidence inside you without having to be a control freak, then lock in to today’s episode. In this episode, you’ll hear: How Del leaned into his own unique identity while growing up with both a Dad and brother who played in the Big Leagues. Del’s advice for those times when you’re scared to step out in faith and trust God. Insights into Del's transition from playing to executive roles in baseball development. How to lean into a vision for the future, whether it’s your own or someone else’s. The importance of collaborative choices and seeking wise counsel.
