Joey Feste | Confessions From a Recovering Control Freak

Coming Up Clutch with J.R. Helping Pro and Executive Athletes maximize their success and significance

The more you think you’re in control, the more you’re likely to lose it. I’ve learned this the hard way. And I was the athlete who grew up on the phrase, “Control the Controllables.”

But what if the so-called controllables aren’t fully controllable?

On my latest episode of the Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™ show, I sit down with Joey Feste - a guy who once described himself as a “recovering control freak.” Joey is the Senior Managing Partner of KM Capital Management and has been advising some of the top players in the NFL for over 36 years. During our interview, we got real about Joey’s journey through sports, business, and life and how he overcame the pile of challenges that were out of his control. If you want to feel more confident when you’re dealing with things out of your control, then lock in to today’s episode.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• What to do when people question your reputation and try to knock you off your God-given destiny
• Why Joey described himself as a “recovering control freak”
• The similar challenges Joey noticed between those he served in his church and his superstar athlete clients
• The common, yet preventable mistake around money
