Shownotes

Every one of us is telling ourselves a story.

Some stories build confidence. Others quietly limit what we believe is possible.

In this episode, Jim Koetting welcomes Cam Awesome, the winningest heavyweight boxer in U.S. amateur boxing history, for a conversation that goes far beyond sports.

Cam explains how the stories we repeat to ourselves become our identity, influence our confidence, shape our leadership, and determine how we respond to failure.

Together they discuss self-talk, resilience, identity, reinvention, leadership, gratitude, and why the most successful people aren't necessarily the most talented, they've simply learned to tell themselves better stories.

If you've ever struggled with confidence, questioned your identity, or wondered why some people continually rise after failure, this episode will stay with you long after it ends.
