Join me, Aleks, as I sit down with Jon to explore the intricacies of personal growth, emotional resilience, and the power of habits. From the disciplined routines of professional athletes to the profound shifts in identity that come with parenthood and career transitions. This conversation is packed with wisdom and inspiration for anyone striving to find their true self and master their mindset. Tune in and discover how to embrace every role life offers with authenticity and grace.   05:35 What led to Jon's NFL retirement? 09:28 How stress undermines present life by prioritizing the future. 13:33 Balanced brain activity leads to relaxed enjoyment. 20:32 Identities shape self-worth, and impact fear and motivations. 29:35 Effort compounds like interest. 37:34 Emotions last 90 seconds; process, don't repress. 43:18 Faith, freedom and struggling in a conservative upbringing.   About your host Aleks: Aleks Chojnacka has been on a health journey for many years, learning so much along the way. At a young age, she experienced debilitating fatigue but was unable to solve it through a Western medicine approach. Eventually, she turned to alternative methods and experienced a transformative shift in her health. By discovering the power of the mind, body, and spirit connection through different tools and practices, she was able to regulate her nervous system and step back into the most energized version of herself. Knowing that so many others have had similar struggles, Aleks pursued credentials in health coaching and breathwork and created Detox House, a portal for bridging the spiritual body with the physical body through somatic practices like breathwork, sauna, and cold plunge.  Her end goal is to empower individuals to get rid of the things that no longer serve them, whether a difficult mindset or physical ailment, and step back into their truest selves so they can live their most joyful lives. She's here to help people squeeze the most out of life and remember why they're here: to enjoy it.  Find out more about Detox House: https://detox-house.com/ Connect with Aleks: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedetoxhouse/   About Guest Jon McGraw: Jon McGraw co-founded Vision Pursue after its principles radically shifted his mindset, performance, and overall life experience.

A walk-on at Kansas State who was taken in the second round of the 2002 NFL draft by the New York Jets, Jon McGraw went on to play 10 pro seasons in the NFL, making stops with the Detroit Lions and Kansas City Chiefs along the way. For all his success, including winning the prestigious Ed Block Courage Award in 2011, the process of playing football wasn't always a great experience for the hard-nosed safety. The daily grind took its toll and he felt his focus was suffering. Toward the end of his career, McGraw stumbled across the concept of Process-Oriented Psychology. Instead of focusing on the end result, he learned to find purpose in the day-to-day aspects of the job and found joy in the sport again. This ultimately led McGraw to pursue an entrepreneurial path after football, sharing what he'd learned with other pro athletes and corporate executives working in high-stress environments. He co-founded Vision Pursue alongside his business partner, Russ Rausch, a former hedge fund operator. Today, Vision Pursue works with high-profile clients in sports and business, including the Miami Heat, the San Francisco 49ers, and FedEx.

After a ten-year career in the NFL playing for the Kansas City Chiefs, Jon McGraw realized he had become so achievement-oriented that it kept him from being truly present. This led to his study of  mindfulness. Today, his core mission is to help others take back control of their life experience and relieve suffering. He talks with Jim and Jan about lessons in leadership he learned while in the NFL, and the mental skills necessary for peak performance.   Key Takeaways [4:41] Our society and culture doesn’t teach mindfulness and attention training in our early years, so it is expected that we would shift to a mindset based on achievement, ruminating about the past and anticipating the future. [10:30] Jon defines mindfulness as the practice of paying attention to the experience of the moment without judgement or expectation. [11:44] Mindfulness helps us clearly define the vision, then create processes and daily tasks to keep us in alignment that everyone from management down can follow. This builds trust in the mission and the individuals behind it. [12:40] One of the biggest challenges in leadership roles currently is the inability to have difficult conversations. Candid and constructive conversations are necessary for gathering feedback and putting  it into context with organizational goals. [13:40] The mindfulness skill allows a leader to be present with their employees, to be a deep listener and a way to meet someone where they are at. [15:28] The primary role of a leader is to protect and connect the team, set expectations and connect with their team. [16:48] Mindfulness takes the “me” thinking out of the individual, and instead focuses on the needs of the organization. [21:39] Jon is proud of the results that participants get from his training program when they apply his methods consistently and diligently. Even when nothing external or situational changes, the way their brain processes the life situation is completely different. The training of mindfulness can be applied to those at different levels of career experience and position. [22:13] Most of us think the life experience we desire happens when our external world matches what we want. However, this is not the case, and when we start from where we are realistically and apply ourselves from there, big shifts can happen. [33:35] Leadership is someone’s capacity to step outside themselves and connect with others to put the team first. You still honor your personal ambition and goals, but they come second to the needs of the team. [35:03] A good team captain models consistent character and performance. [38:03] One of the core principles that changed Jon’s experience was performance psychology, and he is very passionate on using mental skills training to help as many people as he can with their inner and outer experience.   Quotes Anticipating the future comes at the expense of  life itself. “Judgement and expectation can cloud our perspective.” Most leaders are too transactional. “Mindfulness is the opposite of me thinking.” “Commit fully to wherever you’re at.” “If we can train ourselves to develop the mental skills to create the life we want right now, we become a very powerful person.”   Twitter: @visionpursue LinkedIn: @VisionPursue Website: VisionPursue.com   Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind Ep 098: Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less CereScan Jan Stenerud

“Striving for growth and improvement is designed to co-exist with satisfaction and contentment with what is right now.”  Jon McGraw is a former NFL safety who spent time playing under the Kansas City Chiefs, the Detroit Lions, and the New York Jets. What you wouldn't know from McGraw's career history is the fact that he struggled with performance anxiety during his time as a professional athlete. “Your mind can take you to some dark places.” After retiring from the NFL due to multiple concussions, McGraw was driven to learn more about how the brain is impacted by different things. This led to McGraw co-founding Vision Pursue, an organization with a mission to dramatically improve the way people experience life by improving their mindset. Throughout this episode, McCabe and McGraw dive into discussion about performance anxiety, inner fulfillment, and how the mind is different from the brain. McGraw talks about how one of the many goals of Vision Pursue is to move people to a place where they are not depending on their external circumstances to determine their internal experiences. “We should operate from a place of fulfillment and contentment, completely satisfied with what IS, but knowing that there's really important things that we're on this planet to do. There's people who are counting on us, and the things we do in life impact others."
