In this episode of Conversations in Courage, we sit down with Geoff Janey, founder of JET Boston (Janey Elite Training)—a coach, entrepreneur, and father who built a training culture rooted in connection, standards, and real community. Geoff shares how he went from a stable 9–5 to taking the leap into full-time coaching, why he believes we’re “in service, not sales,” and the mindset shift that makes consistency possible. We also talk about what it means to lead people (and still be okay not being liked), and the “lost art” of struggle and hard work in a world that wants everything instantly.

Until next time—be well, be courageous.

As promised, Ashley recorded a companion audio for those who wanted to go beyond the conversation and see what arises to the surface through the practices of journaling and/ or contemplation.

We recommend you find a quiet place where you can be comfortable, curious, and courageous.

If you're journaling, bring a pen and paper along. (Yes, old school analog!)

If you're choosing to listen and reflect, just bring yourself.

Listen with headphones for the best experience, and send us a note on how it went!

With Courage,

Ash & Mark

Manifestation isn’t about begging the universe for a better car. And it definitely isn’t about blaming yourself for every hard thing you go through. It’s about authorship, alignment, and the courage to build a life that actually feels like yours.

In this episode of Conversations in Courage, Ashley and Mark rethink manifestation through the lenses of neuroscience, social sciences, and spirituality.

They explore:

• The tension between manifestation culture and actual brain science
• Why attention and intention reshape what we notice, believe, and act on
• How identity and habits (“I’m not a smoker” vs “I’m trying to quit”) change our lives
• What it means to stay in your integrity
• The role of journaling, visualization, and being fed up with playing small
• Why winter might be the best season for intention-setting

Books & people we mention:

• Mind Magic – Dr. James Doty
• Collective Illusions – Todd Rose
• Wayne Dyer (spiritual teacher)
• Atomic Habits – James Clear
• Charles Duhigg’s work on habits

Send us a DM @couragepod with how you think about manifestation, intention-setting, or goal-setting!
