Ep. 383 | Ken Crenshaw | Responsibility, Recovery, & Raising Resilient Athletes

You don’t have a discipline problem. Nobody outworks you. But somewhere along the way, “more” stopped working. More hours. Grind. Hustle. And you’re still stalling out (in your body, your leadership, and/or with the people who matter most). So you go back to the only playbook you know. Push harder. Ignore the warning signs. Here’s […]
Ep. 382 | 5 Minute Drill | The Conversation You Keep Avoiding
There’s a conversation sitting in your house right now. You know exactly what it’s about. You’ve known for weeks. Maybe months. And you haven’t said a word. It’s not because you don’t know how to handle hard things, but because some part of you is still “preparing.” In this 5-Minute Drill episode of Coming Up […]
Ep.381 | Paul Epstein | Your Playbook for High-Stakes Decisions

You already know what you should do. So why haven’t you done it? That gap, between what you know and what you do, is where good leaders quietly lose ground. Not in a crisis. Not in a blowup. Just in the space between a decision that needs to be made and the version of you […]
Ep. 380 | 5 Minute Drill | How to Get Out of Your Slump
You ever feel like you’re at the top of your game…only to hit a wall a few weeks later? No energy. No clarity. No performance. Just…off. Most high performers call it a slump, but that word is off-limits with J.R. In this 5-Minute Drill episode of Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™, J.R. breaks down why […]
Ep. 379 | Nick Bolhuis | How to Leverage Your Breath for Breakthrough

You’re not bad at managing stress. You’re bad at breathing. That’s the part nobody checks. Too many high-achieving men are running hard all day, chasing goals, leading teams, providing for their families…while their nervous system quietly falls apart underneath it. They can’t sleep. Can’t slow down. Short with their wife and kids. And they’ve convinced […]
Ep. 378 | 5 Minute Drill | When Working Harder Isn’t Working: How to Shift from Striving to Trusting
You ever catch yourself thinking… “I just need to push harder.” “If I put in more hours, it’ll finally click.” “I can force this to work if I just try harder than I already am.” That’s not discipline. That’s a lie about who’s actually doing the work. In this 5-Minute Drill episode of Coming Up […]
Ep. 377 | Joshua Lifrak | Neutral, Not Numb: The Mental Skill Elite Performers Use Under Pressure

You’re not out of options. You’re out of excuses to stay the same. Default living is quiet. No crisis. No rock bottom. Just years of slipping by on autopilot while you tell yourself you’re fine. You’re not falling apart. You’re just on repeat. Same reactions. Same patterns. Same version of yourself, day after day, because […]
Ep. 376 | 5 Minute Drill | You’re Not Too Busy. What’s Happening Instead.
You’re not too busy. You’re just building the wrong thing first. Many high-achieving men don’t neglect their families on purpose. They built a structure that’s worked…in school, in sports, and in their career. But when life started happening…marriage, kids…responsibilities…they started stacking. They fit everything that matters most on top of the thing that was already […]
Ep. 375 | Bubba Herrick | Flatlined at 19: What a Near-Death Experience Teaches Us About Living Fully Alive

Lack of clarity is a checkpoint problem. You’ve built something real. The business. The family. The reputation. By every measure that matters, you’re winning. But lately something’s off. You’re moving fast…maybe faster than ever…but you can’t shake the feeling that you’re drifting. Not failing. Not lazy. Just…off. The truth is, clarity isn’t something you find […]
Ep. 374 | 5 Minute Drill | Your Alter Ego Is Costing You More Than You Know
There’s a version of you that shows up when the pressure turns up. He’s locked in. Relentless. Gets it done no matter what. And that version of you worked…he got you the promotion, the partnership, the deal. But that same character…the one that made you elite…is quietly compromising your house. Marriage. Kids. The man you […]
