Big Hairy Audacious Goals

Do you have big, scary goals that you’ve locked inside of you simply because they sound unreachable?

Is the fear of dreaming big holding you back from achieving something that’s exciting? Something that will get you out of bed in the morning?

What if I tell you that some of the most successful people and companies in the world once had audacious goals like yours?

A computer on every desk in every home— Microsoft
Crush Adidas— Nike (1960s)
Every book, ever printed, in any language, all available in less than 60 seconds— Amazon

And the list goes on!

The people behind these companies had what is called “Big Hairy Audacious Goals” (BHAG). And if they found the courage to dream big (and achieve it!), why can’t you? 

Today, let’s talk about your BHAG and the 10 reasons why you aren’t setting big, scary goals and how you can overcome them— because the only thing that’s separating you from them, is that first step in facing your fears and goals with your head held high. And there’s no better place to start but here, so hit that play button now!

There's a particular drive that comes from a background in sports, a mindset forged in competition and discipline that doesn't just switch off when you leave the field. Success for the Athletic-Minded Man taps directly into that energy, translating the core principles of athletic performance into tools for everyday life. Host Jim Harshaw, Jr. understands that the same clarity needed to execute a game plan, the focus required in a critical moment, and the consistency of daily practice are the exact traits that define winning in business, relationships, and personal health. This isn't about finding more hours in the day; it's about applying a strategic, trained approach to all of it. Each episode feels like a conversation with a coach who's been in your shoes, addressing the real tension between ambitious career goals, being a present father and partner, and maintaining physical fitness without letting any single priority suffer. You'll hear practical discussions on management, self-improvement, and the mental frameworks that help you stop shortchanging the areas that matter most. The podcast moves beyond theory, offering actionable insights for men who aim to build a life of sustained achievement, where success is measured across the board, not just on a scoreboard.
