Episode 180 - Start Lines Over Finish Lines: Finding Your Competitive Edge & Free Energy with Joe Jacobi

What if the real secret to success isn’t just crossing the finish line—but how you show up at the start? I sat down with Olympic gold medalist, performance coach, and leadership expert Joe Jacobi to break down the mindset shifts that drive sustained success, fulfillment, and flow. In this episode, Joe shares powerful insights from his journey—from training with elite competitors in Washington, D.C., to reinventing his performance approach in North Carolina, to now living and coaching in Spain.

This episode is packed with wisdom for high-achieving entrepreneurs who want to leverage free energy, optimize performance, and find deeper meaning in their work and life. One of my favorite concepts is when Joe talks about why your competitive edge is a dial, not a switch, and how understanding this can help you stay in flow without burning out. Whether you’re a business owner, leader, or just someone navigating life’s transitions, you’ll walk away with new ways to align your purpose, sharpen your focus, and ride the waves of life with intention.

🎧 Listen now and start riding your next wave of success with intention and clarity!
