ABOUT THIS EPISODE
We celebrate our 150th (!) podcast episode by flipping the tables and welcoming James Leath of Unleash the Athlete (episode 2 this season!) as he sits down as your host to interview me about what I’ve learned over the last 8 years at Compete Every Day.
We discuss what I’ve learned after 150 episodes on the Compete Podcast, and dive into my journey for the first time. Topics discussed include:
- My own health journey from overweight to active
- Why you have to be “SELFISH” to be successful in serving others
- What does “being a better leader” actually mean
- Why I use “Competitor” interchangeably when discussing “Leaders”
- How a loss of identity also ruined my life
- How I learned to get past comparison – and focus instead on my lane
- The importance of creating experiences for my community and speaking audiences
- The only two things that matter in your legacy
- Why did we start with – and stick with – apparel at Compete Every Day
- How to batch your marketing and life to better focus on what matters
And mostly, what it means to Compete Every Day! I really enjoyed this conversation and the opportunity to share my passion and what matters most to me, with you. I hope you enjoy the show!

Everyone loves the legend of the lucky break. That one magical moment when everything finally clicks, the world notices, and you collect your trophy. But here’s the reality nobody wants to admit: You’re not as close to “that moment” as you think. And waiti…
Ever noticed how habits don’t collapse overnight - they erode, inch by inch, every time you let a “just this once” slide? That’s how progress dies: soft, silent, and undetected until it’s buried.
Competitors aren’t perfect - they’re just relentless. The real difference isn’t never missing. It's in …
So much of our practice is in the expectation that things will go 'according to plan,' but what happens when it doesn't? Pulling from a recent National Anthem singer's story, Jake shares what great Competitors do to better prepare themselves for any and every situation.
