Ever have that feeling after a win that you’re still losing somewhere?

Crush your numbers at work, but you’re disconnected to your family

Train hard and eat clean, but you missed out on the social time with friends.
Say yes to one thing, and it feels like you’re saying no to something that matters more.

That tension? That constant low-key guilt and pressure?

It’s not a scheduling issue.
It’s not a discipline problem.
It’s a mindset issue.

That’s why I brought Dr. Nick Holton back on the Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™ show. Nick’s one of the leading experts on human flourishing and anti-fragility, and he breaks down the real reason why high performers feel so pulled and so stuck (Hint: We’re wired for either/or thinking in a world that demands both/and leadership).

In this episode, you will hear:

• The trap of either/or thinking — and how to break free from it
• Why your biggest limitations are likely self-imposed
• The burnout–values connection no one’s talking about
• The 4% rule for building next-level resilience
• How to move through discomfort without tapping out

Key Quotes

• “Where do we do our dot connecting? We do it when our mind is wandering. How do you get your mind to wander? Turn it the hell off.” - Dr. Nick Holton

Ever feel like life just flipped the script on you? One day you’re clear, confident, moving with purpose. The next? You’re doubting everything… stuck in your own head.

Welcome to uncertainty — for many, the great momentum killer.

• That big decision you can’t get clarity on?
• That opportunity you thought was secure…suddenly isn’t.
• That season of waiting that feels like it’s never going to end?

Yeah. I’ve been there. My clients are there. Chances are, you’re there now.

But here’s the gut check: You don’t need the whole playbook to move forward.

Because the minute you start demanding perfect clarity before taking action? …You’re not leading anymore—you’re hiding. And let’s be real…leaders don’t hide.That’s why this week’s 5-Minute Drill on the Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™ show is built for YOU. I’m giving you a simple, yet powerful strategy I call the State and Surrender Drill.

So if you’re stuck in a fog of confusion…or if you’re simply tired of waiting for a sign before taking the next step — then lock into this episode.

Let’s get it!

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Why uncertainty doesn’t have to stop your momentum—and how to move forward even when you don’t have all the plays.
• How the biblical story of Joseph reveals what it looks like to win through uncertainty.
• A 3-step strategy that helps you stay grounded when clarity is missing.
• A powerful mindset shift that positions God as your Quarterback.
• Practical wisdom on choosing faith over feelings and walking in truth instead of fear.

Key Quotes

• “You weren’t created to run your life like a coordinator that has the whole playbook. You were made to follow the Quarterback who sees the whole field — God.” - J.R.
• “Don’t wait for total clarity before making a move. Don’t let uncertainty become an excuse. Most importantly, don’t try to get ahead of God’s timing.” - J.R.
• “Take action based on your faith, not your feelings.” - J.R.

Ever feel like you’re doing everything right…but something still feels off?

Like no matter how hard you work, how much you win, how much you provide—it’s never quite enough. You’re crushing it professionally…but at home, you’re irritable, disconnected, or just numb.

If that hits home, you’re not crazy. You’re not broken. You just might be glitching. 👀

This week on the Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™ show, I’m sit down with Dr. Don Wood—mindset and trauma expert, author, and the creator of the TIPP Method. He’s helped pro athletes and CEOs reboot their minds and experience next-level peace and performance.

And for real, Don flipped the switch on how I view anxiety, depression, and that low-level restlessness that so many of us think we just need to push through.

In this episode, you will hear:

• Why unresolved trauma creates mental “glitches” that hijack your peace and purpose
• The real reason you’re still battling anxiety or sabotage—even when life looks good
• How to use science and Scripture to reset your mind and step into God-designed freedom
• The one mindset practice you can start today to stop spirals and snap back into clarity

Key Quotes

• “You must understand how your mind works. If you don't, you can never fix it.” - Dr. Don Wood
• “Trauma is a software glitch. If you don’t resolve it, your nervous system will keep firing like you’re still in danger.” - Dr. Don Wood
• “Anytime you have an emotion, feeling, or sensation, your mind is calling for an action. Fear wants you to run. But if you’re recalling fear from a past event, and you can’t act, that’s a glitch.” - Dr. Don Wood
• “The best thing you can do as a parent? Make your home safe. The world won’t treat your child like you can. You have the chance to be their safe place. That’s the greatest gift you can give them.” - Dr. Don Wood
• “When a negative thought creeps in, close your eyes, think about something positive, then describe what you see. You’ll reset the brain and won’t even remember the negative thought.” - Dr. Don Wood

You ever hit a stretch where everything feels HARD?

Like no matter how much you pray… plan…push…

• Doors stay shut
• Momentum stalls
• Progress feels like dragging a boulder uphill

Let’s call it what it is — FRUSTRATING.

And the lies start circling in your head: “You’re off course. Maybe you missed it. Maybe you’re not called to this.”

But here’s the truth: Hard doesn’t mean wrong. It might just mean God’s working.

Resistance doesn’t always signal “stop.” Sometimes, it’s divine conditioning. Sometimes, it’s your runway to rise.This week on the Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™ show, I’m flipping the script on struggle — and dropping a simple, yet powerful 3-step strategy that’ll help you turn your resistance into your rocket fuel.

So if you’re tired of second-guessing your path, or if you’re stuck in a season where nothing feels easy — then lock into this episode.

Let’s get it!

In this episode, you will hear:

• How resistance and headwinds in life are often signs you’re on the right path — not signals to stop
• The real story behind my failed business pivot and the bold truth that set me free
• Why David’s wilderness battles prepared him to be a king — and what that means for your current struggles
• The biblical and scientific proof that resistance is essential for growth, not punishment
• A 3-step strategy to turn times of uncertainty into personal breakthroughs.
• A powerful mindset shift to help you stop chasing relief and start embracing the rise God is preparing you for.

Key Quotes

• “David didn’t become a warrior in the palace. He became a warrior in the wilderness. Resistance wasn’t his punishment — it was his preparation.” - J.R.
• “God uses headwinds to refine you and build you, not punish you. He uses them to help you take off to your next level in life.” - J.R.
• “Stop seeing resistance as a red flag and start seeing it as an opportunity for refinement.” - J.R.

What’s your mindset when the pressure is ON? Do you freeze? Overthink? Choke?

Or do you get present, dialed-in, and ready for the moment — no matter how big it is?

Let’s be real… Most guys say they’re built for the big moments — but behind the scenes, they’re terrified of blowing it. They’re obsessed with the OUTCOME, not the OPPORTUNITY.

That’s why I had to get 2x World Series Champion, Jonny Gomes, on the Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™ show. This dude’s life is a masterclass in pressure-tested performance. He’s survived a tragic car accident, survived a heart attack, and experienced more adversity before age 22 than most experience in a lifetime. But somehow, he still found a way to rise — and come up CLUTCH when it mattered most.

In this episode, you will hear:

• How to dominate high-pressure moments without chasing outcomes
• The most important conversation you’ll ever have
• Why proving your doubters wrong is exhausting — and who to focus on proving right
• What today’s athletes — and parents — are getting wrong about grit

Key Quotes

• "I never set my goals on the outcome... I just wanted the opportunity." - Jonny Gomes
• “The best coach that you'll ever surround yourself with is the dude in the mirror.” - Jonny Gomes
• "Stop trying to prove the haters wrong. Start proving the people in your inner circle right." - Jonny Gomes
• "It's not about remembering. It's about storing... the more you self-evaluate, the more storage you put in your brain." - Jonny Gomes

You ever feel like God’s been stripping things away…and you’re left wondering what you did wrong?

The contract falls through.
A friend ghosts you.
That “safe” comfort zone? Gone.

Your first thought? “What the heck did I do?”

But here’s the hard truth I had to face: God doesn’t prune because you’re failing. He prunes because he wants you to be fruitful.

That’s why in this week’s 5-Minute Drill on the Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™ show, I’m breaking down a counterintuitive (but transformational) strategy to help you stop interpreting every loss as a punishment, reframe the setback you’re in as a setup for something greater, and let go without feeling like you're falling apart.

So if you’ve ever felt like something’s being taken away because of something you did wrong — and you feel stuck in panic, guilt, or confusion because of it — then lock into this episode.

Let’s get it!

In this episode, you'll hear:

• The real reason God sometimes strips things away — and why it’s not rejection, it’s refinement
• Two personal stories that exposed where I was placing my faith — and how God used loss to level me up
• How to use the PRY Framework to respond to loss with clarity instead of chaos
• Brain science behind emotional hijacks — and how to calm your system when life blindsides you
• What Joseph’s story reveals about divine subtraction and long-term success
• Why letting go is actually the key to unlocking your next breakthrough

Key Quotes

• “Stillness is spiritual strength training. You can’t be still with an upregulated nervous system.” - J.R.
• “You need to start seeing things from heaven’s perspective, not hell’s perspective.” - J.R.
• “God doesn’t multiply what we cling to. He multiplies what we surrender.” - J.R.
