About this listen
In this episode of Highest Level, Michael and Anthony sit down with Jim Weir, former professional footballer turned successful travel business owner for a raw and inspiring conversation about resilience, pressure and reinvention.
Jim pulls back the curtain on what life as a pro footballer really looked like behind the scenes: the sacrifices, the tough moments and the truths the cameras never showed. He opens up about the hardest challenges of his playing career, what they taught him about performing at the highest level under pressure, and how those lessons have carried over into life after football.
Now running his own travel business, Jim reflects on the transition from elite sport to entrepreneurship, the sporting DNA that helped him succeed in business, and the unexpected traits that got in the way.
You’ll hear Jim’s honest take on:
- The untold reality of life inside professional football
- Resilience and performing under relentless pressure
- The mindset shifts required to reinvent yourself after sport
- What elite athletes know about success that most people never learn
This is more than a story of football or business, it’s about resilience, adaptation, and the courage to redefine yourself at every stage of life.
