Jon Gordon

We're all coaching each other, and it really has stayed with me, and I share it as often as I can.

Um- And then the second one is Jon Gordon.

And there are so many different things that he's done, um, but he's, he's definitely said over and over and over and over and over again, you know, "No one creates success alone." And-

Mm

... to embrace that at every point in your purposeful journey, and not to linger too long when you're upset about anything, because the sooner we get our minds off of ourselves as much as possible, you know, we're important.

But this idea of just the joy is really in how we get to connect with other people and see them, um, in what they're doing.

So I could probably list as many Jon Gordon quotes and wisdom moments as he has books, which, you know, that's not small.

Uh, but that just really resonates, and I know it's important for all of us.

It is a fascinating conversation.

Today, we have the inspiring Jon Gordon.

We've actually been trying to get Jon on this podcast for a couple of years, and then in the strangest turn of events, I randomly met him in person just days before this interview finally came together.

Jon has written more than 30 books, including The Energy Bus, which has sold millions of copies.

His newest book is called The Power of Positive Habits.

This conversation is about the energy we bring into our homes, our work, our relationships, and our own lives, and remembering that our energy is contagious.

Here is Jon Gordon.

You know, there are so many little things we do as parents to help our kids sleep well.

Both books will enhance your todays and your tomorrows.

And make sure you're following the podcast because Jon Gordon will be here tomorrow, Mitch Prinstein is coming up to talk about what actually makes someone popular, and later this week, we have a rather spooky conversation with John Billman about people who disappear in the wilderness.

Today's guest is Susan Dominus, a staff writer for The New York Times Magazine and the author of The Family Dynamic.

She spent years looking at families that produced not just one extraordinary successful child, but several, and asking what was happening inside those homes.

Take care.

I'm so glad we got to spend part of our day together.

Tomorrow, Jon Gordon is here.

I know so many of you love his books and his work, and I'm really excited to bring you that conversation.

Susan Dominus is coming up.

Jon Gordon is here.

We're talking with Mitch Prinstein about what actually makes someone popular, and later this week, John Billman takes us inside the mystery of people who disappear in the wilderness.

Today, we're kicking things off with Michael Keller, son of the late Timothy Keller.

We're going inside the mystery of people who disappear in the wilderness with Professor John Billman, author of Cold Vanish.

Jon Gordon joins us to talk about the energy we bring into the room.

Susan Dominus tackles the fascinating question of why some families produce not just one extraordinarily successful child, but several.

She went looking at families with multiple high-achieving siblings to find out what was happening inside those homes.

And my last one that came out at Thanksgiving of 2019 was a fictional book.

So a lot of your listeners are familiar with John Gordon.

I know you had him on the podcast.

Um, and he, uh, uh, it, uh, it's similar to his books.

It has lessons.

It's a leadership fable, modern day fable.

And so, yeah, I love John Gordon's books and those kind of books.

And so I wanted to write one myself.

And

you were talking about John Gordon.

Yeah, great book, by the way.

Here's my beef.

I have a beef with John Gordon.

I feel like I have it on

the show, but yeah, go on.

Yeah, well, you could throw it in the garbage.

I like to think of it as we have the opportunity to be a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean.

Shout out to Damon West and John Gordon, the authors of the book, Coffee Bean.

I just added that in.

Here is what I mean.

These comments are precisely why I am grateful for your consideration for admission.

I am optimistic that I can have a positive impact on your program, the people in the program today and in the future.

Number one, I'm super proud of my son for writing that and thankful to Damon West and John Gordon for writing the Coffee Bean book, which I incorporate in so many of my speeches and keynotes that I give everywhere and anywhere because I love the message.

It's so powerful and so important for everybody to understand that we know and children gravitate towards it.

The best thing about them too, is if, There is an issue with the way a player is feeling treated or a role that they think they should have that they don't.

One of the biggest I was just I was looking through this book, Power of a Positive Team by John Gordon, and said when there's a lack of communication, negativity fills that void, fills that hole.

When you don't communicate with your parents, they aren't thinking good things.

Positives aren't happening.
