The path to success is riddled with risk. I invited the one and only Travis Macy to share with you true stories of success and failure and how to leverage risk for greater success.

Travis Macy is a speaker, coach, professional endurance athlete, and author of “The Ultra Mindset: An Endurance Champion's 8 Core Principles for Success in Business, Sports, and Life.” 

This finisher of over 130 ultra endurance events in 17 countries was a former classroom teacher with a Master's degree in Education.

His racing and adventure exploits have been covered by The New York Times, ABC, Penthouse Magazine, Runner’s World, Adventure Sports Magazine, Competitor Magazine, UltraRunning Magazine, Trail Runner Magazine, and Breathe Magazine, among others.

After six long years, Travis is finally back on the Success Through Failure podcast! 

This special crossover episode with The Travis Macy Show is all about risks. Here, Travis and I will share some personal risks we’ve taken and the lessons we’ve learned when things worked and— more importantly— when they didn’t.

If you’re currently contemplating on taking a big risk— or if you’re afraid of taking one— this episode is for you, so don’t miss it. Tune in 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.
