What’s your response when life punches you in the gut? When everything you’ve built gets ripped away in an instant? When your health is on the line and your future is up in the air?

Most people crumble. They get consumed by fear. They ask, “Why me?”

But not this week’s guest on the Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™ show. Adel Sayegh didn’t just face a billion-dollar betrayal — he was handed a death sentence. While building his empire, he found out the people closest to him were embezzling millions. And just when he thought things couldn’t get worse — Stage 4 pancreatic cancer. Most people would’ve thrown in the towel. But not Adel. What he did next will leave you stunned.

If you’re ready to hear an overcomer’s story that goes beyond inspiration and actually gives you tools to transform your pain into purpose (and build unshakeable faith), then don’t miss today’s episode.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• How to build resilience when the people closest to you let you down
• The faith that helped him fight through the darkest season of his life
• What real peace feels like — and why it’s more powerful than success or money
• The mindset shift you NEED to make during life’s toughest trial

Key Quotes

• "The greatest gift that God could possibly have ever given me was to go through what I went through." - Adel Sayegh
• “If you choose to believe that the same spirit that raised Christ from the dead lives in you, the impossible now becomes possible." - Adel Sayegh
• "The first step to a deep, life-giving relationship is self-awareness." - Adel Sayegh

Asking someone else to hold you accountable is a good thing, right?

Well, not exactly. If you’re anything like me, you’ve heard some variation of "Accountability is what separates the elite from the average.” So, it seems natural that if you want to win and achieve your goal, you’d approach someone to hold you accountable. I did this for years.

But here’s the hard truth: If you’re relying on others to hold you accountable, you’re missing the point of accountability.

For years, I believed that accountability meant someone else tracking my progress…reminding me to do the work…pushing me when I slowed down. But after seeing this attempt at accountability fail over and over, I realized the biggest mistake I was making - I was putting the responsibility of accountability on someone else instead of creating a system for it myself.

But the good news? I found the fix.

In this week’s episode of the Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™ show, I break down the one mistake that’s holding you back from true accountability and the success you deserve — and then give you a simple strategy to get it right. No more waiting for someone else to chase you down. Elite performers don’t ask for accountability — they create an environment where accountability thrives. So, if you’re tired of relying on others to keep you in check and you’re ready to take control of your success, then lock into this episode.

Let’s get it!

In this episode, you'll hear:

• Why accountability starts with you
• How to build a system of accountability that works for you
• The key steps to creating an environment where you’re automatically held to a higher standard
• How to make sure your performance stays elite—no reminders needed.

What’s your typical response when life paralyzes you? When you feel your pain more than your purpose?

For most people - it’s the Victim Mentality (aka “Why is this happening to me?”). That’s why I’m excited to get on the mic with a guy who knows all about dealing with pain. And the way he’s dealing with it is BEYOND INSPIRATIONAL. Today, I have the honor of sitting down with former University of Florida basketball standout and professional basketball player turned ESPN Analyst, Patric Young. Just 10 days before his wedding, Patric was involved in a car accident that left him paralyzed from the waist down. But as Patric will tell you, his accident wasn’t life-changing…it was life-affirming. As Patric shares his stories, he shares insights on overcoming the Runner-up Mindset and the sheer determination that turns adversity into a mission.

In this episode, we unpack the paradox of control versus management, leaning into the idea that sometimes, letting go is the first step to truly grasping what matters. From the Parable of the Talents to the wisdom of managing life's manageables, Patric's narrative instills a sense of purpose and calls us to a deeper understanding of our true identity and the power of perseverance, even when life throws its hardest curveballs.

Patric’s infectious humor and spirited anecdotes offer a fresh perspective on integrating purpose and faith into our daily lives. If you want a new perspective about overcoming life’s toughest pains, then don’t miss today’s episode.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• Overcoming the Runner Up Mindset™.
• The revelations Patric experienced while being in the hospital for 128 days.
• What you must realize before you make any transition in life.
• The concept of "managing the manageables" instead of trying to control everything.
• Discovering true identity and purpose through self-awareness and aligning with one's true self.
• Embracing challenges with gratitude and an "even if" mentality inspired by faith and resilience.

Key Quotes

• “Take care of your house.” - Patric Young
• “As long as I’m living, ‘Why not?’” - Patric Young

Struggling with setbacks can feel like a constant uphill battle. I've discovered that sometimes the answer lies not in reinventing the wheel, but in turning back to the beliefs, thoughts, and actions that once led me victory. This episode goes against the ever so annoying 'new year, new you' mantra. It's a deep dive into the potency of recognizing when to reset vs. restart. Realignment isn't about scraping everything and starting from scratch — it's about recalibrating back to our core strengths and drawing clarity from the victories of our past.

So, if you want a mindset that will actually position you to bring out your best and help you achieve your goals, then lock in to today’s episode.

Let’s get it!

In this episode, you will hear:

• The importance of shifting your paradigm from “restart” to "reset,” especially when facing life’s challenges.
• J.R.’s personal experiences on resetting in the areas of mindset, marriage, finances, and health.
• Strategies to recalibrate to your core strengths, and leveraging past successes.
• Differentiating between the pressure of "starting over" and the grace of a strategic reset.
• Encouragement and actionable steps to reset and realign with your 2025 goals.
