-----

If you had only 12 weeks to hit your biggest goal, what would you do differently?

You don’t need another year to change your life— you need a better plan. The 12 Week Year can get you there in a fraction of the time.


Meet Brian Moran, the mastermind behind The 12 Week Year, a goal-setting framework that’s helped business leaders, entrepreneurs, and top performers achieve in 12 weeks what most people can’t accomplish in 12 months. Instead of waiting for "someday," Brian teaches how to compress time, create urgency, and execute like never before.

As a New York Times bestselling author, executive, entrepreneur, and coach, Brian’s unique background— blending corporate leadership with hands-on business experience— has made him a recognized authority in high-performance execution. His 12 Week Year program is ranked as the #1 training system in the world, and he’s worked with powerhouse clients like Allstate, Prudential, and Tiffany & Co.

In this episode of “Success for the Athletic-Minded Man” podcast, Brian exposes why traditional goal-setting fuels procrastination, the simple mindset shift that separates high achievers from everyone else, and the exact steps you need to take TODAY to start seeing real results.

If you're tired of chasing every productivity hack that doesn't actually work and watching another year slip away, this is episode is a must-listen. It's time to ditch the overwhelm and start making real progress. 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.
