E104 | Jim Davis: Wasting Your Life Trying To Be Right

July 13, 2020

Today on the show I’m joined by a coach, painter, powerlifter, poet, and former professional football player. No, this isn’t a roundtable discussion… This is a conversation with the one and only Jim Davis. Jim is a graduate of Harvard University, Northwestern University, and Knox College. He was named NASA Powerlifting Coach of the Year in 2018 and Runner-Up in 2019. He and his team at the Good Athlete Project are devoted to maximizing the potential of athletics as education.

In this episode we cover:





  • If you were a movie character, how would you act?




  • The good and the bad sides of creating a recognizable brand




  • “Anchor and tether” - why clarity and adaptability must coexist




  • The Good Athlete Project and how it has changed during COVID-19





If you like what you hear on the show today, you’ll love our Apprenticeship. We are hoping to get Jim at one soon, but you don’t have to wait. Join us July 25-26th in Charleston, SC or click here to see upcoming events near you.
