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. His previous book, "Stop Living on Autopilot," helped countless readers reclaim control of their lives and rediscover purpose. 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. Antonio currently lives in Los Angeles, where he continues to develop practical wisdom for those seeking to transform their lives one day at a time.

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. Beyond the boardroom, he's a three-time Ironman triathlete, motivational speaker, proud husband of his high school sweetheart, Holly, and devoted girl dad to two daughters. In this episode, he shares leadership insights, stories from his journey, and what it takes to lead with purpose at one of America's most beloved brands. About Pat, Dr. Patrick (Pat) McLaughlin is a seasoned chiropractor, entrepreneur, author, and speaker on a mission to help people align their lives and become the best version of themselves. Since opening his first practice in 1991, he's launched seven chiropractic offices and currently runs two successful practices in eastern North Carolina. But his passion for impact doesn't stop there—he's also built businesses with Great Clips, Duck Donuts, StayDry Med Centers, and Shape Med Centers, once owning 50 Great Clips salons and ranking among the top franchisees in North America. A lifelong learner and avid reader, Pat is now focused on writing and speaking to empower others. He's the author of The Bear Facts of Life and the upcoming The Power of Being Present, and serves as a guest lecturer for UNC Chapel Hill's entrepreneurship program. In this episode, he shares practical wisdom on leadership, personal growth, and what it means to truly live in alignment. Pat has been married to his wife, Maria, since 1995 and is a proud father of four. When he's not coaching others, he's likely spending time with his three dogs, on the golf course, or enjoying live music and sports.

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.

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.

In this episode of the Especially for Athletes Podcast, Shad and Dustin explore a powerful message from Clemson Tigers coach, Dabo Swinney: “Let the light inside of you always be brighter than the light shining on you.” This principle aligns perfectly with the core of Especially for Athletes, where we emphasize the importance of athletes using their “sportlight” not just to impress, but to uplift and bless others. We discuss the significance of embracing your role on the team, no matter where you fall on the depth chart, and how true greatness comes from the character, resilience, and humility that shine from within. The conversation also touches on how athletes can use their visibility to impact others in a positive way, much like the example set by athletes such as Tim Tebow. Key Takeaways: • Embrace your role: Be the best teammate you can be, whether you’re playing or supporting from the sidelines. • Let your inner light shine: Use the attention you receive to help others, rather than basking in the spotlight. • Do the work: Consistency, hard work, and supporting your teammates—whether anyone’s watching or not—lead to lasting success.

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."

Allen goes in-depth on his task at his new job and how it differs from the objective he had a year ago when he took over the Nittany Lions. Will Heldt made a big splash by signing with Clemson out of the transfer portal, and he's made an even bigger one over the past couple months during intense workouts and practices.  Bottom line after he won just five games the past two years at Purdue: He's hungry to win big, and that hunger has rubbed off on a group of returning players who have won a lot but not enough for their liking.

Jock McKissic's new book looks like it could've been written by Dabo Swinney. That's how much impact McKissic's former coach has had on his life, from his career as a Clemson defensive lineman from 2005 to 2008, all the way to this day. In 50 Principles to Thrive in Life From Half-Full to Overflowing, McKissic explores themes such as The Coffee Bean Principle, why comfort is your greatest enemy, and how to control the controllables. But the most meaningful chapter to McKissic is: "Flowers for the living -- why waiting until it's too late to appreciate people is the biggest regret of all." "I give my male peers flowers," McKissic said. "Because most men don't get flowers until they're dead. I don't want anybody around me to get their first bouquet of flowers when they're at their own funeral." McKissic, who conducted the interview from a DMV parking lot in Los Angeles, also explores the other parts of a life that has ventured far from his roots in Alabama and Clemson. McKissic was born in Opelika, Ala. His mother Cynthia D. Smith took notice to his love for entertaining early. Jock began acting in church & school plays at age 7. His love for the craft would continue to flourish, but took a back seat to sports once he reached high school. During his tenure at Clemson University, McKissic would occasionally join the improv team on campus for events. In 2012 he found his way back to the camera on USA television show, Necessary Roughness. After retiring from football later that year, Jock took on acting full time. His resume continues to expand, but not only as an actor; as a writer and director as well.

On this episode, I'm thrilled to bring you a deep and engaging conversation with a true baseball legend, Clint Hurdle. Clint's career in baseball is nothing short of spectacular, and his journey is filled with invaluable insights and wisdom that transcend the sport. From being a highly touted young player to managing teams to the World Series, Clint's experiences are a testament to resilience, leadership, and the power of relationships. Clint and I have shared numerous conversations over the years, especially during spring training, where his "Hurdleisms"—gems of wisdom he naturally dispenses—became a hallmark. We dive into these Hurdleisms, exploring the wit and wisdom compiled in his new book, aptly titled "Hurdleisms: Wit and Wisdom from a Lifetime in Baseball." In our conversation, Clint opens up about his journey from being a young kid with a dream to the pinnacle of professional baseball. We discuss the pressures of being labeled a phenom, the ups and downs of his playing career, and the transition to coaching and managing. Clint's story is not just about baseball; it's about life, perseverance, and overcoming personal challenges, including his battles with alcoholism. But it doesn't stop there. We talk about his approach to leadership, the importance of building a strong culture within a team, and how his faith and family have grounded him throughout his career. Clint shares candidly about his tenure with the Rockies, the joy of leading the Pittsburgh Pirates back to the playoffs after 20 consecutive losing seasons, and his current role in player development with the Rockies. Whether you're a baseball fan or not, Clint Hurdle's story is one of genuine human interest and inspiration. Join us for a heartfelt and insightful episode where we explore the life of a man who, despite the myriad challenges, has always strived to be a beacon of positivity and guidance for those around him. Don't miss this episode with the wise Clint Hurdle. You're sure to walk away with a fresh perspective on leadership, life, and baseball!   About Clint,  Clint Hurdle is a former Major League Baseball outfielder and coach, most well-known for his time managing the Colorado Rockies and Pittsburgh Pirates. He led the Rockies to their first-ever National League pennant in 2007. After being hired by the Pirates in 2010, Hurdle guided them to their first winning season and playoff appearance in over two decades in 2013, when he was named the NL Manager of the Year. The Pirates also made the postseason in 2014 and 2015. Hurdle was selected ninth overall in the 1975 MLB Draft by the Kansas City Rovals and played 515 games at the Major League level, including 109 starts for the AL pennant winners in 1980.   Follow me on Instagram: @JonGordon11 Every week, I send out a free Positive Tip newsletter via email.
