Bryan Vincent | Finishing Strong by Hope Community Church, Willow Grove

We all experience the final quarter differently. Some of you are energized, on track to hit or exceed your goals. Others feel discouraged, tempted to check out because you've fallen behind. Many sit somewhere in the middle—close enough to see success within reach, but not quite there yet. Regardless of where you stand, how you choose to finish this year directly shapes how you'll begin the next one.The journey of finishing Q4 mirrors my marathon experiences. At mile 20, when your legs feel like bricks and exhaustion sets in, you face a pivotal choice. High performers don't coast when fatigue hits—they've prepared for this moment. They've defined what success looks like, built systems of accountability, and strengthened their mindset to push through when others hit the wall.This episode unpacks three critical practices that separate elite achievers from the rest during the final stretch. First, define what finishing strong actually means—creating clarity that guides your focus amid the season's chaos. Second, build accountability into your routines to ensure you consistently take the high-value actions that drive results, even when they're uncomfortable. Third, deliberately strengthen your mindset through carefully chosen inputs and grounding practices that maintain your confidence under pressure.Ready to run your whole race? The year won't slow down, but you can choose how you finish it. By implementing these high-performance practices, you won't just cross the finish line—you'll carry powerful momentum into January. Reach out to learn how our study groups can help your team build the accountability, skills, and connections needed to perform at their best when it matters most. In this podcast you will learn about how:• High performers balance the push to finish strong with clarity and intention that sets up a strong start• Like marathon runners, leaders often hit a wall in Q4 when fatigue sets in but the finish line is still distant• Define what finishing strong means to gain clarity and control that builds confidence• Separate what's urgent from what's truly important to focus your energy on needle-moving activities• Build accountability systems to ensure you consistently take the actions that grow your business• Strengthen your mindset by choosing inputs and practices that reinforce possibility instead of limitation• Study groups provide accountability, skill development, and peer connections that drive team performanceHighlights:0:00The Power of Finishing Strong2:40The Marathon Mindset4:45Define What Finishing Strong Means7:19Build Accountability into Q48:57Strengthen Your Mindset11:20Resources and Call to ActionInterested in 1:1 Coaching?Kristin partners with high-performing financial advisors, leaders, and business owners who are ready to lead with more clarity, focus, and intention.Clients often come to her with a strong vision, but they aren't sure how to close the gap between where they are now and where they want to go. Many are navigating a season of growth, stepping into expanded leadership, or realizing they've outgrown their current systems and ways of working.They know they're capable of more and want a strategic thought partner to help them get there, someone who will ask the tough questions, create space to think deeply, and offer a proven process for turning ambition into meaningful progress.If this sounds like the kind of partnership you've been craving, email meet@kristinburke.com to learn more and connect.Connect with KristinLinkedIn

Episode Summary In this inspiring episode, I sit down with one of our powerhouse Published and Paid clients, Gwendolyn “Cody” Davis—a speaker, coach, and multi-time author who proves that it's never too late to walk boldly in your purpose. Miss Gwendolyn joined one of my programs after retiring from her federal government career, and since then she's written a powerful thought leadership book (Finishing Strong), launched a coaching program, published a workbook, and guided others through writing their own books. What moved me most about this conversation is how she reminds us that dreams don't have an expiration date. She talks openly about overcoming the fear of pricing, building confidence with each cohort of coaching clients, and leaning into her God-given calling—even after 50. If you've ever felt like time has passed you by, this episode will remind you that now is the perfect time to start.

On this episode of The Jon Gordon Podcast, I sit down with Glenn Ellison, a man whose life story could fill a movie script. From growing up in poverty with six siblings and an alcoholic father, to channeling his pain and anger into football and earning a full scholarship to the University of Arkansas, Glenn's early journey is as inspiring as it is raw. He shares how an illegal hit and an unexpected twist in NCAA eligibility rules cut short his college career, but his determination led him to play for the Marine Corps team and ultimately earn a spot in the NFL with the Oakland Raiders under legendary coach John Madden. But Glenn's story doesn't stop on the football field. After his sports career, he faced more adversity and found purpose in helping others. For the past 24 years, Glenn has dedicated his life to restoring peace in families through The Parent Help Center, working with parents and at-risk youth to turn chaos into hope and healing. He opens up about how faith, hard lessons, and relentless work ethic shaped his mission to make an enduring impact. This is a candid, powerful conversation about resilience, redemption, and the transformative power of believing in others, and yourself, even when the odds are stacked against you. Glenn's journey reminds us that no matter where you start, it's never too late to change the game and make a difference.  Learn more about Glenn and his mission at theparenthelpcenter.com, and get ready to be inspired by a true comeback story.   About Glenn, Glenn Ellison is a former NFL player, United States Marine, and now a certified Jon Gordon Trainer helping leaders and families create positive change. His inspiring journey took him from high school football star to being kicked out of college, from $35-a-game semi-pro leagues to the Marine Corps football program—where he became a two-time MVP. Against 10,000 to 1 odds, Glenn walked on to the NFL, proving that grit, faith, and perseverance open impossible doors. Today, Glenn is the founder of a non-profit dedicated to building stronger families, the author of Tackling Life's Challenges, and the real-life inspiration behind the film Success Camp, which tells the story of struggling families finding hope. His life is proof that detours often lead to your true purpose—and that with commitment and belief, even the wildest dreams are within reach.   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!
