Are you struggling to find true purpose as a man today?
How can you develop leadership, resilience, and confidence amid daily pressures?
What are practical steps to live a life of meaning for yourself and your family?

Dive into this transformative episode of the MOI Podcast, where host Ryan Zook sits down with Jim Murphy, author of Inner Excellence, for an inspiring conversation about building an extraordinary life through simplicity, faith, and intention. Jim shares powerful stories from his days in pro baseball, his life-changing “desert experience,” and the journey to discovering his true calling as a coach and author.

You’ll learn actionable insights on:

Leading with a clear life purpose—even when everything feels out of control

Overcoming “monkey mind,” negative self-talk, and fear of failure

Embracing a spirit-led life that brings deep contentment, joy, and lasting confidence

The importance of surrender, heart transformation, and living for something greater than material success

Practical advice for busy men who want to grow as leaders, husbands, and fathers

No matter your background—whether you’re leading a company, coaching a team, or supporting a family—this episode will equip you to move past anxiety, comparison, and hurry, and step boldly into a life of purpose and fulfillment. If you’re searching for meaning, renewed focus, and the motivation to be your best for your family and your community, you won’t want to miss this.
