The turning point for Jon was a moment of reflection and a decision to focus on his true passion—speaking and writing.
After experiencing initial challenges with book sales, Jon turned to religion for guidance and found inspiration from God to write books that could positively impact people's lives. His mission was to encourage and inspire individuals, one person at a time.
Jon emphasizes the universal theme of good versus evil and the need to overcome negative thoughts with positivity and love. Gratitude, mindfulness, meditation, and prayer are essential practices for rewiring the brain toward positivity. Ryan shares his morning routine, which incorporates these practices, contributing to personal and professional growth.
Leadership involves a combination of love and accountability. Consistency is key for leaders, and facing rivals and adversity can lead to personal and professional growth. Jon's book "Training Camp" explores the habits of the best and emphasizes the importance of control, improvement, and allowing God to guide one's path.
Both Jon and Ryan discuss the significance of grit—a combination of desire, vision, optimism, belief, faith, hope, love, devotion, discipline, stubbornness, and resilience. Jon's formula for grit reflects the multifaceted nature of this essential quality for success.
The conversation delves into the power of affirmations, the impact of words and thoughts on reality, and the importance of belief in oneself. Jon shares insights from his book "One Word," emphasizing the significance of an outcome mindset over identity-based thinking.
Ryan reflects on his experiences in baseball, recognizing that his fear of making mistakes impacted his confidence. Jon suggests that Ryan's identity was tied to baseball, making it a god, and highlights the shift to trusting God over personal ambition.
The episode concludes with a discussion on obedience, gratitude, and the transformation that occurs when one lives according to their beliefs rather than circumstances. Ryan expresses gratitude for not making it in baseball, acknowledging the lessons learned in the journey.
