Success Behind The Numbers
The Mindset of a Champion: What It Takes to Win Again and Again #36
In Episode 36 of The Success Behind The Numbers, I sit down with Jim Leyritz, former MLB star turned real estate business strategist. With three World Series rings and a legacy in Yankee Stadium, Jim now helps agents swing for the fences in a whole new way. 🎙️⚾️
From the roar of Yankee Stadium to the quiet reset after retirement, Jim’s journey is a masterclass in reinvention. He shares the highs of championship glory, the challenges of life after professional sports, and the new purpose he’s found helping others succeed in real estate and beyond.
We talk mindset, discipline, failure, faith, and how the skills Jim sharpened under pressure as an athlete now fuel his impact in business development. If you’ve ever wondered how to carry a legacy forward—this one’s for you.
