On this episode of The Jon Gordon Podcast, I sit down with General John Michel for an inspiring conversation about his remarkable journey from serving as a commanding general for NATO to becoming a purpose-driven entrepreneur and community leader. General John’s story is one of service, leadership, and transformation. From humble beginnings in ROTC at Texas State to flying jets and leading 14 nations in building the $8 billion Afghan Air Force, he reflects on the discipline, passion, and responsibility that shaped his military career. After retiring from the military, General John felt called to a new mission, addressing food insecurity with dignity and innovation. He shares the genesis of Soulcial Kitchen and Currency of Caring, a venture that mobilizes food trucks and empowers entrepreneurs to deliver hot meals and hope to neighbors in need.   About General John Michel, Air Force Brigadier General (ret.) John Michel is passionate about people and possibilities. A soulcial entrepreneur at heart, he’s also an award- winning author, TED speaker, and business leader who has successfully led several multi-billion-dollar domestic and international transformation efforts. Today, he serves as Founder of Soulcial Kitchen as well as President of the Food is Love Foundation. His passion is developing and operationalizing innovative approaches to addressing food insecurity and building sustainable community capacity via his Nationally acclaimed Currency of Caring tokenized free meal program. In 2015, John completed a distinguished 26-year career in the United States Air Force, where in his final assignment, he led NATO’s unprecedented 14-nation effort in Afghanistan to build the $6.7 billion Afghan Air Force. His efforts leading this international coalition culminated in his team being awarded the 2014 Department of Defense’s highest award for innovative nation-building efforts. John has earned several advanced degrees, including a Master’s of Aeronautical Science from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, a Master of Military Operation Art from Air University, and earned a Doctorate in Transformational Leadership from Bakke Graduate University.

On this episode of The Jon Gordon Podcast, I sit down with Chad Willardson, entrepreneur, wealth advisor, and author of Fully Invested, for a heartfelt and lively conversation about what it truly means to win big at work and at home - without sacrificing one for the other. Chad shares the journey behind his “fully invested” philosophy: from the pivotal moment he chose family over chasing the Wall Street grind, to building successful businesses while making his marriage and five kids a top priority. Together, we unpack why “work-life balance” is a myth, and how true fulfillment comes from integrating your values into every part of your life, not compartmentalizing them. Key themes include learning to say no to good opportunities so you can say yes to great ones, cultivating championship teams in business and family, and establishing rituals and communication that keep loved ones connected even as life and careers evolve. Chad’s candid stories and practical strategies illuminate how being present, whether at home or work, not only deepens relationships but powers greater professional success. Whether you’re longing for more meaning at home while building your career, or questioning if you really have to choose between family and ambition, this episode is a powerful reminder that your richest life is possible when you invest fully in what truly matters.   About Chad, Chad Willardson, CFF®, CRPC®, AWMA®, is the President and Founder of Pacific Capital, a family office services firm dedicated to helping high-net-worth entrepreneurs achieve lifestyle and financial freedom. Chad is also the Founder of ELEVATED, an exclusive coaching program for growth-focused entrepreneurs. As an elected City Treasurer managing $650 million for taxpayers, Chad brings unparalleled expertise in wealth management, cash flow strategies, and business growth. Beyond his professional achievements, Chad is deeply invested in his family and previously hosted The Smart Money Parenting Show, ranked the #2 podcast on Apple for Parenting, Kids & Family, where he shares actionable advice on raising money-smart kids and balancing success at work and home. With over 20 years of experience in wealth management, Chad continues to inspire entrepreneurs to win in business and at home.   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!

On this episode of The Jon Gordon Podcast, I’m joined by Jim Murphy, author of Inner Excellence, for a powerful conversation about purpose, perseverance, and what happens when quiet impact meets a viral moment.  Jim’s story is one of those overnight-success tales that actually took decades. After years of speaking, coaching, and writing for athletes and leaders behind the scenes, one unexpected moment on an NFL sideline, a book in the hands of A.J. Brown, and a few words from the broadcast team sent Jim’s work into the spotlight. What happened next? His book went from ten copies sold in a week to nearly half a million. We talk about what it’s like to go from overlooked to bestselling almost overnight, the deeper mission behind Inner Excellence, and how Jim stayed grounded through all the noise. Most of all, we dive into the why behind his work and the calling to help others live and lead with love, joy, and true inner power. If you’ve ever wondered whether doing the right work for the right reasons still matters, this episode will answer that with a resounding yes. This isn’t just a story about a book. It’s a reminder that impact happens when you stay faithful to the mission, even when no one’s watching. Tune in and be inspired by Jim’s journey and the truth that the best is yet to come.   About Jim, #1 New York Times bestselling author Jim Murphy is a Performance Coach to some of the best athletes and leaders in the world. He began his career as a professional baseball player in the Chicago Cubs organization. After experiencing vision issues that ended his playing career, Murphy coached with the Texas Rangers as well as the South African Olympic baseball team. He has worked with some of the world’s best golfers, including world champions, FedEx Cup champions, and world #1’s.

I believe the greatest source of a leader’s power isn’t strategy, talent, or even hard work… it’s prayer. In this episode, I’m sharing something most leaders rarely talk about, yet it’s been the true foundation of my success and impact: the power of a praying leader. Prayer has transformed my mindset, healed my soul, strengthened my marriage, and given me the wisdom and courage to lead and serve others in ways I couldn’t even imagine before. I’ll reveal the lessons I’ve learned from years of daily prayer, why disconnection from God leads to fear and anxiety, and how connection through prayer brings peace, clarity, and purpose. Plus, I’ll give you a simple framework you can start using today to make prayer a powerful part of your leadership. If you’ve ever wanted to access a deeper strength and lead with unshakable confidence, this message is for you.
