In this episode, I share a keynote starting with a personal story about rejection, perseverance, and the decision to stay positive when everything tells you not to. I talk about how The Energy Bus got rejected over 30 times before one publisher finally said yes. That journey taught me the power of loyalty, gratitude, and treating your team like family. It's not just about getting to the next level, it's about building a foundation rooted in values and vision. I share how adversity became my ally, how setbacks shaped my mindset, and how the right habits transformed not just my life, but my leadership. Tune in to learn why positivity isn't just a feel-good idea, it's a decision you make every day to become better, together.  Here's a few additional resources for you… Follow me on Instagram: @JonGordon11 Order my new book 'The 7 Commitments of a Great Team' today!

Milt and Dave fired up the Time Machine and landed smack in September of 1991, when mullets were plentiful and Blockbuster late fees could bankrupt you. We're running down the box-office champs—from Arnold blowing stuff up in Terminator 2 to Billy Crystal roping cattle in City Slickers, with pit stops at Woody Harrelson's baby-faced cameo in Doc Hollywood and the horror sequels nobody really asked for. Along the way, we: Trade war stories about seeing these flicks in sticky-floored theaters. Act out scenes like idiots (you're welcome). Dish out Rotten Tomatoes scores and wildly unfair judgments. Wonder aloud why The Commitments still slaps and why Dead Again deserved more love. Debate whether Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves is epic or just Kevin Costner cosplaying with a bad accent. And yes—some of these movies aged like fine wine (T2), while others… let's just say they've turned to vinegar (Child's Play 3, I'm looking at you). Episode Breakdown 00:00 – Bickering & Banter 01:19 – Dave apologizes for… something. Again. 02:17 – Nostalgia bomb: our '91 movie memories 03:56 – The countdown begins 07:20 – The Commitments review 17:27 – Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves 27:44 – City Slickers 38:40 – The Doctor 45:47 – Child's Play 3 (spoiler: nope) 47:03 – Box office chatter & that weird UK crime link 51:40 – Doc Hollywood + baby Woody Harrelson 58:25 – Hot Shots! (Charlie Sheen's golden era) 01:08:10 – Terminator 2 drops the hammer 01:16:40 – Dead Again review 01:23:09 – Freddy's Dead autopsy 01:31:28 – Winner of the Week & closing thoughts It's loud, it's nostalgic, it's a little snarky—just another ride in the Top 10 Time Machine.

In this episode of Positive Leadership Wednesday, I explore what it really means to be a demanding leader, without being demeaning. I share why being positive doesn't mean being weak or letting standards slide. Instead, I talk about how the best leaders expect the best from their teams and hold everyone accountable, but always in a supportive, uplifting way. I'll tell you how you can call people up to greatness, rather than calling them out, and why choosing encouragement over criticism can help your team truly thrive.

This season we've unpacked the systems and mindsets that help real estate agents thrive no matter if the market is up, down, or somewhere in between. In this episode, I'm tying it all together with a blueprint for long-term success.We'll cover:The systems every agent needs - lead generation, nurturing, time management, investing in yourself, and working efficiently. The mindset shifts that make the difference - treating real estate as a career, committing to lifelong learning, and always revisiting your “why.”How systems and mindset fuel each other to create a business that's built to last.Whether you're brand new to real estate or you've been in the business for years, this episode will remind you of the fundamentals that never change — and challenge you to commit to the long game.Quote from Mount Analogue"You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down again. So why bother in the first place? Just this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen. There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up. When one can no longer see, one can at least still know."Follow Courtney on her socials:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.CourtneyMKing.com/podcast

On this episode of The Jon Gordon Podcast, I'm joined by Cornell lacrosse head coach and now national champion, Connor Buczek for an incredible conversation about legacy, leadership, and building a championship culture. If you want to know what it really takes to transform heartbreak into triumph after 48 long years without a title, this is the episode for you. We dive deep into the values that define Cornell lacrosse—toughness, togetherness, servant leadership and how the legendary George Boiardi, Coach Richie Moran, and others shaped a family-like culture that stands the test of time. Connor shares candid insights about stepping into the head coaching role at just 26, leading through failure, and the blueprint that brought a national championship to Ithaca. Listen in as we talk about never giving up, the power of belief, honoring the giants who came before, and what it's like to celebrate a once-in-a-generation win alongside teammates, alumni, and family. This is a conversation about more than lacrosse, it's about legacy, leadership, and lifting others up. If you want to get inspired by what's possible when people buy into something greater than themselves, don't miss this episode!   About Connor, Connor Buczek '15, a former All-American midfielder and Cornell lacrosse legend, has led the Big Red as the Richard M. Moran Head Coach since 2020. After guiding the team through the challenges of the pandemic, Buczek quickly established himself as one of the nation's top young coaches, taking Cornell to four straight NCAA tournaments, including a national runner-up finish in 2022 and the program's first national championship in 48 years in 2025. Under his leadership, the Big Red have captured multiple Ivy League titles, consistently ranked among the nation's top offenses, and developed elite players like Tewaaraton Award winner CJ Kirst. A three-time first-team All-Ivy honoree and 2014 Ivy League Player of the Year during his playing career, Buczek graduated as Cornell's top-scoring midfielder in history before going on to play professionally in Major League Lacrosse, the Premier Lacrosse League, and internationally for Team USA. His impact as both a coach and player reflects his commitment to excellence, leadership, and the storied tradition of Cornell lacrosse. A Cincinnati native, Buczek continues to shape the program's future while honoring its legacy.

End of Summer Recap, Camera Flashes, and Fall Preview - Episode 173

On this episode of The Jon Gordon Podcast, I'm joined by Jill Schulman, author, former Marine, and a true thought leader on the psychology of bravery. Jill just released her powerful new book, The Bravery Effect, and together we dive deep into what it really means to be brave in today's world. We get personal right away, exploring the difference between bravery and courage, and why Jill believes bravery is a muscle we can all train. She shares both personal stories and groundbreaking research, like how action in the face of fear is what actually builds confidence, not the other way around. We talk about real-life moments where facing discomfort leads to growth, plus the common myth that brave people are simply fearless (spoiler: nobody is, and that's not the goal). Jill opens up about her time as a Marine and what it taught her about facing hard things, from grueling physical tests to being told she'd never make it, then proving everyone wrong. We unpack why our culture too often mistakes comfort for happiness, and how true fulfillment comes from doing the hard, brave thing even when we're scared. Jill also reveals how overprotecting our kids can accidentally undermine their resilience, and offers science-backed, practical strategies for developing everyday bravery. There's plenty here for parents, leaders, students and honestly anyone ready to step into something new or challenging. We even walk through a real-world scenario, breaking down how someone can approach a tough conversation with courage and grace, and what it means to build your own “brave tribe” of supporters. If you've ever wondered how to be braver, how to help others face their fears, or why it matters now more than ever, you'll love this conversation. Tune in and take Jill's free bravery assessment at https://www.jillschulman.com/jongordon, then get ready to take your own brave next step. About Jill, Jill Schulman is a former U.S. Marine Corps Officer, leadership development expert, and founder of Breakthrough Leadership Group. She has dedicated her career to studying and teaching the science of bravery, resilience, and peak performance—drawing on psychology, neuroscience, and behavioral science to create evidence-based strategies that help people and teams thrive. Her newest book, The Bravery Effect, distills years of research and real-world experience into practical tools for developing courageous mindsets, taking bold action, and building brave relationships. Guided by her motto, “Courage over regret,” Jill is passionate about empowering others to embrace discomfort, grow through challenges, and stop letting fear hold them back. Known for blending grit and curiosity with equal parts joy and discipline, Jill believes the world needs more courage and fewer excuses. Outside of work, she's often hiking in Southern California, lifting at the gym, reading Stoic philosophy, or spending time with her husband of 20+ years and their two daughters.

Commitment is essential for our work, our purpose, and for taking care of ourselves.  Commitments are intentional choices that we make to keep showing up, even when it gets difficult, or when our feelings start to change.  We have a commitment to animal welfare, lifelong learning, and to ourselves.  This commitment must be honored in order to build our best life.  We may not always feel good about our day, but our commitment to our profession and our mental health is what makes it all worthwhile.   Contact Julie at theveterinarylifecoach.com Buy Julie's book on Amazon - Love Your Veterinary Life - The Veterinary Life Coach Guide to Harnessing Your Mind and Building and Incredible Life

On this episode of The Jon Gordon Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Samuel Wilkinson from Yale for a truly fascinating and thought-provoking conversation about the intersection of science, faith, and evolution. Dr. Wilkinson shares the journey that inspired his book, Purpose: What Evolution and Human Nature Imply About the Meaning of Our Existence, and together we dig into some of life's deepest questions: Can science and spirituality really go hand in hand? How do evolution and faith both help shape our understanding of human purpose?   We unpack everything from the “dual potential” within human nature, our capacities for both selfishness and sacrificial love, to the mysteries of free will, consciousness, and whether our brains are actually wired to tune into higher frequencies like love, positivity, and connection. We also challenge some big assumptions about the origins of humanity, what really drives our instinct to help others (even at great personal cost), and why strong family bonds are central to both our biology and our society.   If you've ever wondered how science and spirituality might fit together, or questioned whether there's purpose woven into the process of evolution, this conversation is going to open your mind and encourage your spirit. Don't miss it!   About Dr. Samuel Wilkinson, Samuel T. Wilkinson is Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Yale University, where he also serves as Associate Director of the Yale Depression Research Program. He received his MD from Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. His articles have been featured in the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Wall Street Journal. He has been the recipient of many awards, including Top Advancements & Breakthroughs from the Brain and Behavior Research Foundation; Top Ten Psychiatry Papers by the New England Journal of Medicine, the Samuel Novey Writing Prize in Psychological Medicine ( Johns Hopkins); the Thomas Detre Award (Yale University); and the Seymour Lustman Award (Yale University).   Here's a few additional resources for you… Follow me on Instagram: @JonGordon11 Order my new book 'The 7 Commitments of a Great Team' today!
