On this episode of The Story & Craft Podcast, we sit down with author,Jim Murphy who wrote thebookInner Excellence.”   We discuss Jim's journey, including his time as a professional baseball player, his mother's samurai heritage, and his transition to coaching.  We explore his unique experiences, such as living in solitude in the desert to write, “Inner Excellence,” which gained significant attention when Philadelphia Eagles' A.J. Brown was seen reading it on the sidelines during a playoff game.  Jim shares insights on his philosophy of living a meaningful life, the impact of Japanese culture, and his aspirations to make a difference in the lives of people around the world.
