When life’s latest challenge throws you off-track, quickly finding your footing can feel impossible— but it doesn’t need to be.

Sometimes I jump on a podcast recording and feel like I’ve connected with a long lost friend. A kindred soul. Niyi Sobo is one of those people. 

He gets the mindset work that’s required to succeed in sports and life. He’s an avid reader. And he’s genuinely passionate about his work. You can’t help but to become absorbed into what he’s saying. You know it’s coming from his soul and is based in both real-life application and years of learning.

Niyi is a former NFL running back and Portland State alum who helps high-performance athletes build supreme confidence and dominate the field under pressure. He built the “I’m Not You” philosophy system to answer the question of how people could build the habits, mindset, and systems athletes need to consistently lead to success, no matter what the odds are.

“I’m Not You” is comprised of the methods he has created over several years, through thousands of athletes and executives he’s coached, hundreds and hundreds of podcast episodes recorded, and his own years of experience in the field.

Niyi joins me in this episode of the Success Through Failure podcast to share the thinking behind “I’m Not You”, his own challenging life journey, and how he built his career from humble roots into the multi-channel creative that he is today. 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.
