Bert Jacobs is the co-founder of the $150 million lifestyle brand Life is Good. When he and his brother John started the company in 1994, they had $78 in their pockets, lived out of their van, and sold t-shirts on the streets of Boston. It has been over 30 years since they sold their first t-shirt, but Bert and John championed the same mission: to spread the power of optimism. On their journey, they've been inspired by a vibrant community of resilient optimists—people from all walks of life who identify deeply with the brand and who constantly demonstrate the depth and meaning behind the three simple words, “life is good.” Bert joins Google to discuss how to develop an optimistic mindset and tips on building a vibrant community and a brand that will stand the test of time.

In de eerste aflevering van het nieuwe seizoen van Met Open Vizier spreken we met oud-trainer en technisch voetbalmannetje Han Berger! Han Berger moet er niet aan denken om niets meer te doen. Collega's die uitkijken naar hun pensioen? Dan hebben ze een groot deel van hun leven niet gedaan wat ze leuk vinden. Alex Pastoor en Bruno Bobbink gaan in gesprek met de gedreven 74-jarige Han. Han spreekt vol passie over de voetballerij waarin hij al op zijn 22e als trainer fungeerde. In zijn begindagen moest hij al Willem van Hanegem op zijn plek zetten bij FC Utrecht. Een klankbord had hij niet. Hij deed het allemaal zelf in een tijd waar zelfs keepertrainers nog niet bestonden. Bert Jacobs is het rolmodel van Han. Hij sleet vele autoritjes met Bert Jacobs, en werd door hem tot assistent gepromoveerd bij FC Utrecht toen Han eenmaal afgekeurd werd als profvoetballer. Jacobs was bedreven in tactiek en people management. Hoe blijf je tussen de spelers staan en erboven wanneer dat moet? Ook wordt gesproken over levenservaring in het voetbal. Hoe deel je je leven in? Hoe zorg je ervoor dat het vak je niet opvreet? In het begin van zijn carrière was Han nog heel impulsief. Door de jaren heen heeft hij veel bijgeleerd over de balans tussen ratio en intuïtie.Het gaat ook over de groeiende nadruk op tactiek in het voetbal. Vroeger werd er al in de jeugd veel gehamerd op techniek. Op het EK vroeg Alex zich af: welk team was herkenbaar en ging er écht voor? Han en Alex gaan er dieper op in.Zie het privacybeleid op https://art19.com/privacy en de privacyverklaring van Californië op https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In aflevering 20 van de podcast zitten Mo en Rob samen met een echt "Urgestein" aka Living legend aka de orginele herstelshakes maker aka Noppie, oftewel Norbert Keulen. Norbert was 45 jaar in dienst bij Roda als verzorger en maakte 5 generaties voetballers mee. De 1 uur en 43 minuten doen de carriere van Norbert dan ook niet genoeg eer aan (maar hij gaat sowieso een comeback maken in de podcast hoor!). Desalniettemin werd het een memorabel gesprek met iemand die (bijna) alles en iedereen gezien heeft die Roda groot maakte of in het verderf storte. Enkele thema's die aan bod kwamen waren de waterzak, wielrennen vs voetballen, hoe hij bij Roda terechtkwam, Danny Hoekman en Joost Valgaeren, Bert Jacobs op de fiets, Europa in met d'r Kloeb, eerbetoon aan het verleden, Sportpark Kaalheide, gastheerschap, het (non) zwarte gat, Leo Ehlen en Sieb Dijkstra, wat er nu mooi is aan Roda, herstelshakes, duurlopen en partijtjes met de selectie en nog heel veel meer! Nog steeds actief bij de club en vol verhalen. Luistertip!

Bert Jacobs, one of the brothers behind the Life Is Good t-shirt movement, shares how three simple words can help people focus on the good, unlock imagination, and build a boundless community around courage and compassion.

Bert Jacobs was één van de markantste voetbaltrainers die Nederland ooit heeft gekend. Op een fiets het uitgaansleven onveilig maken, een hotel onderspuiten met brandblussers en een Sovjet-generaal van zijn kleding beroven. Naast zijn kwajongensstreken was Bert een begenadigd trainer met een succesvolle formule: duidelijk zijn, een goede veldbezetting en de poppetjes op de juiste plaats zetten. Spelers gingen voor hem door het vuur en roemen zijn vakmanschap, eerlijkheid en humor. In deze aflevering blikt Jeroen Heijink samen met Michiel Kraijkamp en Ferry Reurink, auteurs van het boek 'Hotseknotsbegoniavoetbal. De biografie van Bert Jacobs - Voetbalhumor van Zandvoort tot Hongkong', terug op zijn carrière. En wat voor persoon was Bert eigenlijk? Welke herinneringen hebben Ferry en Michiel aan hem, waarom koos Sporting Gijon voor deze bijzondere trainer en hoe moeilijk was het om aan informatie over Bert te komen?

Editie 40 van Hotseknotsbegonia is de meest chagrijnige tot nu toe. Omdat bij AZ  pijnlijk duidelijk werd waar het dit seizoen aan schort: aan puur voetballend vermogen. We deden weer eens leuk mee, maar toch geloofde je als kijker nooit in een resultaat. Het is rennen en vliegen, hardlopen en vooral ook doodlopen. De Conference League heeft veel, zo niet alles, verbloemd dit seizoen. Is er dan niets positiefs te melden? Jawel. We drinken Ernems Mokkel, een heerlijk Saisonbier van Brouwerij Durs. Er is een prijsvraag en een winnaar en de Vergeten Vitessenaer neemt je mee terug naar glorietijden van weleer.  Ondanks het cahgrijn, wordt er ook veel gelachen.

Vandaag in Spijkers met Koppen: Partij voor de Dieren Rotterdam wil dat er een verbod komt op het voeren van eendjes. Directeur van het Natuurhistorisch Museum Kees Moeliker vindt dit onzin. Journalist Jojanneke van den Berge duikt in de wereld van de jeugdzorg. Schrijver Jelmer Jepsen en arts Alexander van Daele zijn het erover eens: weg met de slapeloosheid. Poetin stoomde jarenlang jongeren klaar voor zijn Groot-Rusland. Daya Cahen maakte er documentaire over. Joeri Boom ging als correspondent in India met als doel het land echt te leren kennen, maar leerde óók heel veel over zichzelf. Is Pride Amsterdam te mainstream geworden? Een debat tussen oprichter Siep de Haan en journalist Aynouk Tan.

Tot slot is er live muziek van Thijs Boontjes, cabaret van Kiki Schippers, Aron Elstak en Ruud Smulders en de columns zijn van Ivo Victoria en Stefano Keizers.

Editie 39 van Hotseknotsbegonia. Over een gelijkspel met pijn in het hart tegen AS Roma en een nederlaag, tegen RKC, die we dit seizoen net iets te vaak hebben gezien.

As the parent, you set the tone in your home. You not only lead by example, but the energy you put out is what you'll get in return. But it's easier said than done.

Bert Jacobs is the Co-Founder of the $100M lifestyle brand Life Is Good. When Bert and his brother John started the company in 1994, they had $78 in their pockets, lived out of their van, and sold t-shirts on the streets of Boston. Was this their way of avoiding the “real world”? You betcha. Did it turn into something much bigger? Absolutely. Bert tells Franti of his childhood and the impact his mother made on his life and the company. Bert speaks on the power of one's disposition in life and emphasises how business will be the hero of the 21st century. Bert also gives helpful insight on how to start your own business and what it looked like to create Life is Good.

Dr. Brenda Hogue and Dr. Bert Jacobs from Arizona State University discuss their work to develop SARS-CoV-2 vaccines in this episode of "Keeping Up with Public Health: Pandemic Response."

Sarah talks to John and Bert Jacobs about how they came up with their t-shirt brand Life is Good, how they reconnected on a cross country trip, how they've embraced the science on positive psychology, the differences between rational optimism and blind positivity, and the many super powers, as they call them, that fit their brand's ethos.

LIFE IS GOOD. Being an optimist instead of a pessimist is a choice. You can wake up each day and focus on what’s wrong. Or you can choose to be grateful. Whatever you focus on grows. So if you are spending your time on things that make you unhappy, they will take over. But if you can cultivate gratitude, simplicity, and optimism, that’s what your life will become. Choose happiness. For this Five Minute Friday, I revisited a conversation I had with Bert Jacobs, founder of the Life is Good Company, where he shared a few of his ten Superpowers that are surprisingly simple and timeless. Bert has appeared on CNN’s Tips from the Top, CNBC’s Business Nation, and The Donny Deutch Show. Life Is Good has been featured in the New York Times, on the cover of Inc Magazine, and on NBC’s The Today Show. Bert is the second youngest of six siblings from Needham, MA. He credits his mother with teaching his brother and him to face the bumps in the road with a smile. The Jacobs brothers see simplicity, humility, and a sense of humor as the three keys to Life is good’s continued success.

Life isn’t easy. Life isn’t perfect. But life is good. That’s the motto that has propelled Life is Good - the lifestyle clothing brand that celebrates optimism - from a $200 initial investment in 1989 to a $100M company today. This week our guest is Life is Good co-founder and CEO Bert Jacobs. In the interview, Bert shares how he and his co-founder/brother John conceived of the company, and why placing optimism at the core of the brand has helped it reach millions of people. As Bert tells it, before it was ever a company or a t-shirt, “Life is Good” was a spirit personified by Bert and John's mother, Joan, an eternal optimist who taught her children to turn the music up, enjoy the moment, and always remember to focus on the good things in life. Ultimately, the pair took her message to heart, and made the spread of positive energy their lives work. In addition to the brand's uplifting message, Life is Good achieves spreads good vibes by donating 10% of net profits to the Life is Good Kids Foundation, and by holding events like the Life is Good music festival. Bert was an incredibly honest, good-natured, and fascinating guest. He told us why he believes our disposition determines our happiness, why employee engagement is so important to his organization, why work/life is balance is an inherently flawed concept, and why the people who have the hardest road ahead of them tend to gravitate toward the Life is Good brand the most. Speaking to Bert put us in a great mood and taught us a lot about leadership and business, and we think listening to him will have the same effect.   Recommended Reading Life is Good: The Book by Bert & John Jacobs  Links Lifeisgood.com Life is Good on LinkedIn @LifeIsGood on Twitter @LifeIsGoodCo on Instagram Join our Exclusive Facebook Group!

Maybe you’ve struggled with workaholism, food addiction, substance abuse, or someone you know has. We have to first define what addiction is in order to define and know how to create a life that is addicted to a good life. The first step of addiction is “We admitted we were powerless over our addiction that our lives had become unmaneageable.” Years back I remember sitting in a two day conference in Napa Valley about Success and Entrepreneurship. I sat next to a guy name Bert Jacobs. Over the course of two days I learned a ton about his company ‘Life is Good’ and his mindset behind the companie’s success. Making choices that are for the highest good create a good life.   DAILY UNIVERSAL LAW: Today we align with The Law of Perfect Health. This Universal Law is the axiom that whatever is going on within your health is the mental equivalent of what is going on within consciousness, individually and collectively. When you get out of alignment with Mother Nature and Universal Laws we experience ill-health. Within you is a born intelligence and an innate healer, capable of restoring harmony, well being and vibrant vitality. When the body is bogged down with toxins and negative emotions it can’t function properly. From a spiritual perspective, dis-ease is Spirit (your higher self) communicating that individually and culturally we are out of harmony with life. Symptoms within the body, such as poor health and illness are the relative and inverted experience of our use of Universal Energy.  From an absolute perspective, the truth is that you are an eternal immortal spiritual being. You are not your body, you have a body. From a spiritual perspective, the only true disease is amnesia. However, if we choose to experience wellness we must align with nature’s way.   DAILY SPIRITUAL PRACTICE: Go within, quiet your mind, and begin to ask your highest self how you can serve for the highest good today.   DAILY CHALLENGE: Stop handing your power over to things that will bound you energetically.   LIVE YOUR TRUTH, DR.
