From Minor Leagues to Major Meaning: Jim Murphy’s Guide to the Best Possible Life
In the season finale of Good Listen, I sit down with Jim Murphy—former professional athlete, mental performance coach, and author of the transformative book Inner Excellence. Jim opens up to me about his tumultuous journey from a minor league baseball player grappling with career-threatening vision issues to a sought-after coach guiding elite athletes and executives worldwide. He shares the pivotal moment his life changed forever: a chance encounter with a homeless man named Zoe during a mental health crisis, which sparked a spiritual awakening and reshaped his understanding of purpose.Jim talks about how Inner Excellence unexpectedly skyrocketed to fame after NFL star AJ Brown was spotted reading it during a playoff game, catapulting the book into the spotlight. He dives into profound insights on overcoming self-centeredness, embracing humility, and pursuing a life of “fullness” over fleeting success. Through raw anecdotes—from his struggles in the minors to coaching Olympians and PGA Tour champions—Jim reveals how faith, self-awareness, and resilience can redefine greatness.This conversation is a raw, deeply human exploration of finding joy beyond accolades, the power of divine timing, and why true excellence begins within. Whether you’re an athlete, entrepreneur, or simply seeking meaning, Jim’s story will challenge you to rethink what it means to live your best possible life.“Inner Excellence: Train Your Mind for Extraordinary Performance and the Best Possible Life” is available now.

Mic Drop & Mom Life: Anne Marie Leamy’s Radio Comeback, Chaos, and Keeping It Real
I sat down with my longtime friend and radio pro Anne Marie “Annie” Leamy for a chat that felt like catching up over coffee—if that coffee came with wild stories, raw honesty, and a few laughs. You might remember Annie from our days together at WPLJ or her recent gig at WCBS-FM, but trust me, her journey doesn’t stop there.We talked about what it’s like to rebuild after getting laid off (again), how she’s crushing it at the gym instead of drowning in pints of ice cream (cough PLJ days cough), and why social media isn’t just for memes—it’s her lifeline to listeners who’ve stuck with her for decades. Oh, and did I mention she’s raising three boys while plotting her next career move? Spoiler: This mom’s got hustle.We dove into the messy magic of balancing work and family, the actual reason she married her “big goofball” husband Sean (hint: teamwork makes the dream work), and why radio’s live, unfiltered chaos still has her hooked. If you’ve ever felt stuck between “What’s next?” and “How do I adult?,” this one’s for you.Catch Annie’s unstoppable energy on Instagram @annieonair—and don’t forget to smash that thumbs-up button or leave a review if this convo hit home.

We explore his expansion into music publishing, festival creation, and his recent business parable book about creativity. Kevin shares his practical methods for staying relevant, managing time effectively, and maintaining creative longevity in a cutthroat industry. Don't miss this insightful conversation about reinvention, adaptation, and finding continued success through collaboration and curiosity.
