Ep. 322 | John Gallagher | Unlock the Uncommon Leader Within You

Ever feel like you’re crushing it on paper…but deep down, you’re just waiting for someone to call you out? Like no matter how many wins you stack, there’s still that whisper…

  • “You’re not enough.”
  • “You don’t deserve this.
  • “Eventually, they’ll find out.”

Let’s call it what it is — Imposter Syndrome.
And its favorite sidekick? Shame.

They’re silent saboteurs — and they don’t care how successful you are. They’ll sneak in, steal your peace, and stall your momentum.

That’s why I had to bring founder of Growing Champions, John Gallagher, on the Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™ show. John’s been in the trenches — with Fortune 500 execs, elite teams, and leaders who “have it all”… but are silently drowning.

This episode is raw. It’s real. And it’s NEEDED. …bad.

So if you’re tired of looking like a winner on the outside while fighting battles on the inside, and you’re ready to silence the imposter voice — don’t miss this episode.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

  • The regret-filled leadership moment that became a turning point in John Gallagher’s life — and how it sparked his mission to develop Uncommon Leaders
  • A powerful 3-step framework to help you overcome fear, take action, and lead with purpose
  • How shame and Imposter Syndrome silently sabotage even the most successful leaders—and what to do when they show up in your life
  • Why structure creates freedom—and how to build the disciplines that sustain success across your faith, family, fitness, and finances
  • A bold call to forgiveness: not just of others, but of yourself—and how this act unlocks true leadership potential
  • The simple practice of 47 distraction-free minutes a day that can multiply your clarity, focus, and results

KEY QUOTES

  • “Excellence only happens on purpose… If we haven’t put the structure and process or disciplines in place, success will fall backward.” – John Gallagher
  • “Diluted focus will lead us to diluted results.” – John Gallagher (quoting Rory Vaden)
