Leadership, Mindfulness, and the Power of Presence with Jon Gohl
Description
This week on Trades Talk, host Justin White sits down with Jon Gohl, a longtime team member at Aspire Software, to explore the power of reflection, mindfulness, and personal transformation in both life and leadership. Jon shares his journey from walking with a cane to preparing for a walk across the Grand Canyon, and how that physical recovery mirrors his approach to leading people, setting goals, and growing intentionally.
In this episode, Jon opens up about:
Overcoming physical challenges and creating accountability by sharing bold goals
Using breathwork and mindfulness to stay present and grounded
How vulnerability builds connection and unlocks team potential
The value of listening deeply to your people, especially in field-based roles
His leadership philosophy: "Live on the skinny branches; where growth happens"
Whether you're scaling a business, leading a team, or looking inward, Jon brings a human-first approach to growth that blends personal development with professional purpose.
If you’ve ever wondered how to balance technology with human connection, or how to lead with humility in a fast-moving world, this episode will hit home.
