Steven Pressfield is one of these once-in-a-lifetime people who comes along and speaks truth to the world. His writing speaks to a part of your soul that has never been spoken to before. 

If there’s someone who understands you and me— the dreamers, people with goals bigger than their eyes, people who know there’s more inside of them but just haven’t been able to get it out into the world— it’s Steven Pressfield.

His writing is clear and it’s real. It shines light on the real struggle that is your journey to who and what you are meant to be. 

If you’re not familiar with his work, Steve is the mind behind the books “Gates of Fire” and “The Legend of Bagger Vance”— the latter having been made into a movie with Matt Damon, Will Smith, and Charlize Theron. He’s also written landmark personal development books like “The War of Art” and “Turning Pro.” 

In this episode, we’re talking with Steve about his new book, “Put Your Ass Where Your Heart Wants to Be” and how magic happens when you commit unconditionally to your dream. 

This may be his third time on the Success Through Failure podcast, but Steve has so much more wisdom to share to you, so don’t miss it!

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.
