In the Reveal Your Path coaching program, there’s a concept we call the “Environment of Excellence.” These are the people, messages, and mindsets that influence us— the very same factors that shape our “Implicit Biases.” 

So much of what we talk about here on Success Through Failure is about mindset— unlocking the power of our mind, revealing limiting beliefs, and the unconscious wiring that often controls us and our actions.  

Oftentimes we fail because we tell ourselves a story that we're not good enough, or not smart enough, or not capable enough— or maybe others tell us that story… Maybe it's through their body language, their facial expressions, how they talk to us, or maybe even what we see in the media. 

This is all part of the messaging that we receive from our environment that shapes our unconscious beliefs about ourselves and others.

Social Psychologist and Morehouse College professor, Dr. Bryant Marks, joins us in this episode to reveal the hidden secrets that are stored inside of our minds: about who we are, who others are, and the resulting unconscious actions that we take without even knowing it.

I want you to listen to this interview with the goal of better understanding your unconscious, automatic mind, and the actions you take that affect both you and others that influence our society today. 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.
