''My experience as a wrestler was fail, fail, fail, before I finally succeeded.'' - Jim Harshaw

Today I’m talking with a Division 1 All-American wrestler and all around great guy, Jim Harshaw, about success through failure.  

Jim Harshaw has learned many life lessons on the wrestling mat. Having been a Division I All-American and won three Championships for the University of Virginia, trained at the Olympic Training Center and competed overseas for Team USA, he has experienced significant triumph and devastating defeat.

He relates those powerful lessons of failure, struggle and setback to empower his audiences to overcome their own challenges and achieve success despite their inevitable failures. Jim is a speaker, executive coach and host of the Success Through Failure podcast.

This interview is packed with so many gold nuggets of wisdom! In our discussion, Jim will open your eyes to the power of failure and how it can be an awesome teacher for anyone who wants to succeed in life. We also talk about overcoming self-limiting beliefs around public speaking, the productive pause method, discovering your core values, the ultimate toy room, Jake the Snake, and a lot more!  

Here’s a quick breakdown of our chat...

  • [07:49] Being thankful for family and coping with the moments that are out of your control.
  • [12:29] Discover the 4 part framework that allowed Jim to create an environment of excellence and overcome his greatest failures in life.
  • [23:47] What can we learn from the pain of failure and how can we leverage it to lead better lives?
  • [28:06] How he went from bombing as a self-doubting speaker to rocking the TEDx stage.    
  • [35:35] How to find clarity of action and peace of mind through Jim’s productive pause method.
  • [42:54] What are the 3 areas of your life that you want to improve the most? [HINT: Jon shares his and you won’t want to miss it!]
  • [49:56] What does Jake the Snake have to do with you hitting your biggest dreams and goals in life?

''It’s not about me, it’s about the message that I’m sharing.'' - Jim Harshaw
