Ep.329 | 5 Minute Drill | What a 19-Year MLB Veteran Taught Me About Influence

You ever feel like you have to be LOUD to lead?

Like if you don’t raise your voice…if you’re not bold enough, flashy enough, “visible” enough that people won’t follow you?

The pressure to prove yourself…
The noise of everyone trying to go viral…
The demand to command attention at work, at home, in life…

It’s exhausting, isn’t it?

But here’s what I’ve learned — from real life and from one of the most powerful mentors I’ve ever had…

The best leaders lead with quiet conviction.This week on the Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™ show, I’m honoring one of those leaders — 19-year MLB veteran, Scott Sanderson. I’m sharing the nine lessons he taught me about true influence. These aren’t cliché leadership tips. These are the real principles that have helped me lead better — in business, in my marriage, with my kids, and in life.

So, if you want to lead with more power and make less noise, then this episode is for YOU.

Let’s get it!

In this episode, you’ll hear:

  • How a 19-year MLB veteran taught me to lead with quiet strength
  • Nine transformational lessons from a mentor who modeled faith, consistency, and presence
  • Why the loudest voice in the room isn’t always the most powerful one
  • Why consistency—not charisma—is the true secret to long-term success
  • A challenge to thank the mentors who shaped you…and become that kind of leader for others
