On this episode of The Jon Gordon Podcast, I'm joined by my good friend Antonio Neves for one of the most honest and powerful conversations we've had on the show. Antonio's story is incredibly moving, he opens up about losing his home in the Pacific Palisades fires and how that one experience changed everything for his family. We talk openly about grief, resilience, and what it's like to face some of life's toughest moments and, most importantly, how to find hope and new beginnings on the other side.   Antonio shares how he and his family are rebuilding not just a home, but a sense of purpose and possibility and the lessons he's learned while leading his young kids through adversity. We get into his new book, The One Day Method, and why focusing on one great day at a time can be an absolute game-changer, especially when life throws you a curveball.   This is a real conversation about overcoming, recommitting to what matters, and learning how to see the gift, even in pain. If you're going through a challenging season, I promise this episode will encourage you and remind you that the best is yet to come.   About Antonio, Antonio Neves is the author of The 1-Day Method, an  award-winning journalist, and internationally renowned speaker.

After a successful career with major networks including NBC, PBS, and MTV Networks Antonio transitioned to helping individuals and organizations achieve breakthrough results through his coaching and speaking engagements. He has spoken at leading companies and conferences worldwide. Drawing from his experience as a former NCAA Division I athlete and Ivy League graduate, Antonio combines discipline with deep insight to help others reach their full potential. His approach has been featured on the NBC Today Show, Inc., and Forbes.. In 2025, Antonio faced his greatest challenge when California wildfires destroyed his family's home and possessions. Applying the very principles he teaches, he has been rebuilding his life alongside his wife and twins, proving that his methods work even in life's most difficult circumstances.

On this episode, I have the absolute pleasure of sitting down with two incredible brothers—Pat and Robert McLaughlin. These guys are the real deal. Not only are they heart-driven leaders making a huge impact in their respective fields, but they recently joined us in Orlando at our Day of Development and Jon Gordon Certified events, dove right in, and became Jon Gordon Certified Trainers! Pat McLaughlin is a serial entrepreneur, chiropractor, business owner, and author. He's run everything from chiropractic practices to hair salons (yes, you read that right), and his latest passion project is writing and speaking on the power of being present. Robert McLaughlin brings nearly three decades of experience at Chick-fil-A, where he leads with positivity as the head of their Support team, championing a drum-banging culture of recognition and continuous improvement. In our conversation, we dig into what makes these brothers tick—their shared values, powerful family bonds, and personal journeys through both triumph and tragedy. We talk about leadership lessons from the sports field and the importance of investing in yourself so you can invest more in others. The McLaughlin brothers open up about their commitment to positive leadership and how they're using their certification to pour into organizations, schools, and communities. Give it a listen and get ready to bang the drum (you'll see what I mean)!   About Robert, Robert McLaughlin serves as Executive Director of Support Now for Chick-fil-A, where he leads a 294-person team dedicated to supporting restaurant operators, team members, and customers nationwide. Since joining the company in 1998, he's worn many hats—from Field Marketing Consultant to leading major sponsorships like the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl, to shaping national brand strategy and new restaurant marketing. A graduate of UNC Chapel Hill with an MBA from Notre Dame, Robert brings both business acumen and heart to everything he does.

In this episode, recorded live at the Champions Retreat in Iowa, I dive deep into the power of prayer. I share a personal journey from a life marked by negativity and disconnection to one filled with purpose, positivity, and a profound connection with God. Drawing from scripture and our real world experiences, I discuss the importance of staying connected to our Creator and how disconnection breeds feelings of isolation, anxiety, and depression. Through the story of a power outage that led to a revelation about God's unyielding love, I explore how we can shift from a life governed by the flesh to one led by the Spirit. We'll talk about how intentional prayer not only changes our thoughts but transforms our entire being. Join me as I unpack how to really tune your life into the higher frequency—one that leads to healing, power, and purpose. This isn't just theory; it's a way of life rooted in a daily commitment to prayer, surrender, and gratitude. Let's embark on this journey towards more meaningful connections and a life filled with spirit and power.  Here's a few additional resources for you… Follow me on Instagram: @JonGordon11 Every week, I send out a free Positive Tip newsletter via email.

It didn't take long for Viktor Lakhin to become a favorite among Clemson basketball fans after he transferred to the Tigers from Cincinnati. When he was making major contributions to triumphs over Duke, North Carolina and Kentucky, Lakhin was known as the fun-loving Russian. Dabo Swinney even took a liking to him, coining the "Lakhinness Monster" nickname late in the season when Clemson was amassing an 18-2 ACC record. But the deeper layers of Lakhin's story make him even more of a fascinating figure. He joins The Dubcast to talk about hours-long swims as a child in the Black Sea, and 26-mile walks as his father tried to build his mental toughness. Lakhin's journey to America, which took place in 2020 amid COVID shutdowns and growing tensions between Russia and Ukraine, is an extraordinary story by itself. Lakhin is married to an American named Jill, and he hopes to extend his basketball career to the professional level. And if that doesn't work out he'll try to make it big as a comedian.

Former Clemson star Patrick Sapp watched a large number of the recent spring practices for the Tigers. Sapp is closer to the team than usual because his son Josh plays tight end for Clemson. Sapp gives his extended thoughts and insights on what he observed, and where he thinks the Tigers are headed in Year 17 under Dabo Swinney. Last August, Sapp was bullish on the idea that Cade Klubnik and the offense had made real progress and would shine in 2024. That conviction proved true, as the Tigers' final act was stressing an elite Texas defense in ways the Longhorns hadn't been pushed previously. Sapp also shares why he's spent so much of his time and passion on helping Clemson athletes set themselves up for success after their playing careers end. When Sapp played for Clemson in the 1990s, there was no PAW Journey and almost nothing devoted to helping him and other athletes develop relationships that could lead to real-world occupations. That's changed in a big way over the years and Sapp is an integral part of it. On Monday at Holly Tree Country Club in Simpsonville, Sapp will preside over the One Clemson Golf Tournament that will include Dabo Swinney, Charlie Whitehurst, CJ Spiller and other Clemson luminaries. One Clemson helps transition Clemson student-athletes to their careers by providing meaningful work experience and community-service opportunities. For more information go to one-clemson.com.

Clemson gears up for an offense vs. defense spring game as Dabo Swinney doesn't feel the Tigers have enough healthy players to field two teams.

Chuck thinks Lane Kiffin may have set himself up for criticism if Ole Miss slips at all by having done too well in recent years. Chuck and Heath discuss the latest high profile addition for Texas Tech from the portal. William Qualkinbush of 105.5 the Roar in Clemson discusses spring football wrapping up for the Tigers.

On this episode, I share how I began speaking to professional and college teams, starting with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2007 which led me to speak to the Atlanta Falcons in 2008 and countless teams and Training Camps since.   While visiting these Training Camps I learned a ton from the coaches. It was like a think tank where we shared and exchanged the best leadership, culture and team building strategies. I realized that not everyone can go to Training Camp and that's why I decided to bring Training Camp to YOU.  I want to invite you to join me for a one of a kind intimate gathering of only 150 leaders where you'll learn and interact with many of the best leaders in sports whose principles, strategies and lessons apply to leadership in every field and industry.   Never before have all these iconic and elite coaches been in one room together sharing their wisdom, stories, leadership lessons and faith. This event will be one of a kind and the only way to experience it is to be in the room.  It's happening May 15th in Ponte Vedra Beach, TPC Sawgrass Clubhouse. 

In this episode, I sit down with my friend and renowned mental strength coach Howard Falco, author of the transformative new book Invincible: The Mindset of Infinite Potential and the Secret to Inevitable Success. We dive deep into the mindset shifts that can help you break through limitations and step into the life you're meant to live. Howard shares the exact process he uses to help elite athletes and high performers tap into their potential, dismantle self-limiting beliefs, and create real transformation — from the inside out. We talk about faith, flow, identity, ego, the power of “I AM,” and what it truly means to live in alignment with who you were created to be. This is a conversation about more than performance — it's about purpose, peace, and becoming who you really are. If you're looking for that next-level mindset shift, this one's for you.

Bobby Couch had a big job at Clemson when he was a major fundraiser for IPTAY. But that's not what Dan Radakovich was angry about when he called Couch to his office one day a decade or so ago. Radakovich wanted to talk to Couch about his other, more unofficial job: Commissioner of the Noon Time Basketball Association. The NTBA, played on weekdays, was largely athletics department staffers and personnel from the football and basketball teams. But one day an outsider showed up wearing Gamecock gear, and Dabo Swinney gave him some grief over it. The guy didn't take kindly to it, and the confrontation got nasty and was about to get physical. The spat was resolved, but it got the attention of Radakovich and the ritual NTBA games were put on a lengthy hiatus while Couch could trim the roster of invitees. "Here I am getting called to the principal's office not as a senior associate director of IPTAY, but for my role as NTBA commissioner," Couch said. "He's basically telling me I've got to shut this thing down. "Of course the first person who called me after we shut it down and asked me what the heck was going on was Coach Swinney, because he wanted to get back out on the court. I'm like: 'Hey dude. We had to shut this thing down because of you.'" Couch also remembers Brent Venables showing up to a noontime game wearing a mouthpiece. The ferocious Venables ended up accidentally jabbing Couch in face and giving him a huge black eye. Two days later, Couch had to speak to a large donor group the day the Tigers were facing Georgia in Athens. Those are just two of many memories that come flooding back about the NTBA days with Clemson (and NTBA) alum Will Wade about to face Clemson in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. We also interview Chad Lampman, a Clemson alum who preceded Couch as NTBA commissioner before he left for a position at Duke where he's been for 15 years. And UNC Asheville basketball coach Michael Morrell joins the podcast to share his most vivid memories of the NTBA. To Morrell, those games encapsulated the rare bond at Clemson shared among the staffs regardless of sport. "There's just something different about that place, man," said Morrell, who was on Oliver Purnell's staff. "There's just something different there that's special. "I always thought it was cool how the football and basketball staffs there found ways to have relationships. I was on the basketball staff at Texas for three years, and no offense to Texas but I didn't even know the football coaches there. Didn't even know them. "But at Clemson you knew everybody, man. And it still seems like it's the same for them there now. Gosh, man. What a cool place to be a player, a coach, a writer or whatever. Because it's not that way everywhere."

This year, the Princeton Review named High Point University the #1 Best Run College in the Nation.    As an American citizen, President Qubein has been the recipient of some of the highest national awards, including induction into the Horatio Alger Association for Distinguished Americans with General Colin Powell, Oprah Winfrey, and the founder of Starbucks, Howard Schultz.  He is the recipient of DAR's Americanism Award and the Ellis Island Medal of Honor, along with four U.S. presidents. He is a member of the International Speakers Hall of Fame and, in fact, has served as president of the National Speakers Association.  As a business leader, he is the executive chairman of Great Harvest Bread Company with 240 stores in 43 states.  He serves or has served on the boards of several national organizations including Truist (a Fortune 500 company with $500 billion in assets), La-Z-Boy, Savista, a leading healthcare company and the Horatio Alger Association Board of Directors.   President Qubein is the author of a dozen books and scores of leadership audio and visual recordings translated into many languages.  The Biography Channel and the Amazon Channel both televised his Emmy-nominated life story titled “A Life of Success and Significance.” And his most recent book, Extraordinary Transformation, is a #1 Amazon Bestseller that chronicles the leadership behind HPU's unparalleled metamorphosis. In his home city of High Point, North Carolina, he has been named both the Citizen of the Year and the Philanthropist of the Year.  His foundation has invested millions in scholarships for deserving young people and his family has been among the largest benefactors to High Point University and other organizations.   Follow me on Instagram: @JonGordon11 Every week, I send out a free Positive Tip newsletter via email.
