#228A My Best Interview Yet! Part 1: Happiness, Inspired Action, and How I Built a Business That I Love: My Interview with Jerry Miller

Key Takeaways

Your achievements don’t define you—align goals with core values and treat failure as information, not identity.

Over-focusing on work can erode health and relationships; build clarity and balance with a simple action plan and accountability.

Passion is discovered and developed; use small ‘prototyping’ experiments (coffee chats, shadowing, reading) to explore new paths.

Top Quotes

Wrestling didn't define me.

But I really encourage people to not think of their failure as a reason why they can't achieve success at whatever it is, right?

Failure doesn't change what's important to you.

Episode Summary

Jim Harshaw Jr Revealed (Pt 1)

It’s not often that I have a conversation with an interviewer who gets me to bare all. Jerry Miller was able to do just that. In this interview, we talk deeply about the challenges, pitfalls, and ultimate fulfillment in living a life of purpose and passion. I share things in this conversation that I’ve never before shared on the Success Through Failure podcast. I broke it into two parts. Part 1 (#228A) we cover my personal story– from losing 22 lbs in two and a half days to shaman medicine men. In part 2 (228B), we get into failure, adversity, and how to reach your fullest potential. You can capture lessons from a dozen episodes of STF in just this one interview. Give it a listen!
