    ATG 264: Hope Is an Act of Open Rebellion: Why Optimism Is the Secret Weapon of World-Class Performers
    Jan 12 2026

    What if everything you thought about optimism was wrong? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Michael Gervais, high-performance psychologist who's worked with the Seattle Seahawks, Felix Baumgartner, and world-class performers across every field. We dive deep into why optimism isn't naive positivity but the ground zero of mental toughness, how Felix overcame crippling claustrophobia to jump from 130,000 feet, and why every world's best performer Michael has worked with is fundamentally optimistic. You'll discover the difference between grounded optimism and naive optimism, why your brain's survival bias is working against you, how to extinguish fear using systematic desensitization, and why mastery requires looseness, not control. Plus, Michael breaks down the power of "yes, and" conversations, becoming a researcher of amazing, and why emotions are running the whole show. If you've ever thought optimism was soft or unrealistic, this conversation will change your mind.

  • ATG 263: The Hyper-Optimizer's Trap with Dr. James Hewitt

    ATG 263: The Hyper-Optimizer's Trap with Dr. James Hewitt
    Jan 5 2026

    Dr. James Hewitt spent years teaching Fortune 500 companies and Formula One teams how to optimize performance—while ignoring his own advice. Then he found a lump in the shower. In this fascinating conversation, James shares how a late-30s cancer diagnosis forced him to confront a hard truth: he wasn't superhuman. We dive deep into the science of human performance, from why heart rate variability matters more than sleep tracking to how your mindset about stress can fundamentally alter your physiology. You'll discover why the "monk mode" mentality is flawed, how self-compassion beats perfectionism, why vacation research says 3-4 days works better than two weeks, and the 3P model that explains why high performers struggle to celebrate wins. Plus: why James speaks out loud in hotel rooms, his $15,000 watch collection paired with socks full of holes, and the Mount Rushmore of performance books you need to read.

  • ATG 262: 50 by 50: The Final 27 Lessons I Learned by Age 50

    ATG 262: 50 by 50: The Final 27 Lessons I Learned by Age 50
    Dec 29 2025

    This is it—the final installment of my 50 by 50 series. I've spent four episodes breaking down 50 lessons I learned in my first half-century on this planet (yes, I said half-century). In this episode, I'm covering the final 27 lessons, from "dream big, start small" to why you need at least one Cajun friend. You'll discover why your richest-looking friends might be your poorest, why you should buy an alarm clock and leave your phone in the kitchen, why the opportunity that will change your life often shows up as an annoyance, and why that glass of water on your nightstand at 3 AM is the greatest drink ever invented. Plus, I'll tell you why you should have kids before you're ready, why every industry is smaller than you think, and why you're the cavalry you've been waiting for. Whether you're turning 30, 40, 50, or beyond, these lessons will make you think, laugh, and hopefully grow.

Many people tell me that I am a “visionary” and have the most amazing ideas, and that feels great right up till the part where I don’t ever actually do the thing or I start and never finish!!

There have been so many episodes that I start and instantly blush because I just know Jon and his guest are totally calling me out!! It is almost like Jon has the same brain as I do aaaand has some experience with this exact issue I struggle with!! 🤣

In the last year I have started AND finished more goals than any other year so far, and a lot of it had to do with Jon’s books and this podcast!!

Jon makes a goal to read 100 books a year, and one of his suggestions on how to be successful doing this is to always have books in the queue so you don’t have to think about it. One of my favorite things about the podcast is that he asks each guest for a list of their favorite books, so after every episode I add those books to my wishlist on Amazon so I ALWAYS have something to read next!!

I really believe everyone out there can benefit from listening to these episodes because the knowledge within each one can be easily applied to personal or professional life!!!

Keep the good stuff coming Jon and Team!!!

Setting goals? this is the podcast that you NEED! I have always been a goal nerd THEN I retired early and I got lost. Listening to Jon reminded me the power of goals. I am back in grad school and setting personal goals. Suddenly the happiness of making and achieving is back. Halfway through AND a 4.0 Thanks Jon!

Goals for the Masses

Full of excellent, actionable content that keeps you entertained until the very end. Jon is very personable and down to earth while also pushing listeners to live out their best lives vs. settling for what's currently in front of them. Great master class for beginners on how to make and accomplish goals. However, it's also a great listen for experienced leaders who just need a gentle reminder of why we set and fight for goals every day.

Excellent podcast for a year of change!
