Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™

PODCAST

Ep.333 | Paul Epstein | Your Playbook for High-Stakes Decisions

Ever feel stuck in the middle of a big decision?

You’ve weighed the options. Prayed about it. Gotten advice from your inner circle. And STILL… 

You hesitate.

Let’s call it what it is: indecision. And for high-performers like us, that hesitation costs WAY more than we think. That’s why I had to bring back Paul Epstein on the Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™ show this week.

Paul’s a former 15-year NFL & NBA executive who’s shattered revenue records, built billion-dollar brands, and led teams in some of the most high-pressure environments on the planet. Now, as a global speaker and best-selling author, he’s on a mission to help leaders make better decisions faster — without burning out, compromising their values, or carrying regret.

So, if you want to make better decisions faster in your life and career, then lock into this episode!

In this episode, you’ll hear:

  • Why Win Monday is the most important decision you can make
  • The framework for making better decisions faster and avoiding regret
  • The difference between blue skies confidence and unshakable confidence
  • How to practically connect your core values to daily decisions so they don’t just die on the wall
  • What to do when a decision that felt right turns out wrong — and how to move forward with growth, not guilt
  • How to evaluate high-stakes choices (like business pivots or two great paths) with clarity
