You’re envious of someone. Why? Pick the reason. They make more money than you. Accomplish more than you. Their career is bigger. Their title is cooler. You already know that comparison is the thief of joy. Jason doesn't need to tell you that — and anyway, knowing it doesn’t help. So today, Jason will give you something that actually helps: he will show you how the people you envy aren’t as enviable as you think — and how you can celebrate what you have.

Nicole had a great appearance on Good Morning America… until she made one tiny mistake that she can’t stop thinking about. Jason and Nicole dig up their most embarrassing moments and workplace missteps, and decide on a benchmark for when to call out your mistakes, and when to keep them to yourself.

You want to put yourself “out there,” but you're worried. You don’t want to feel too vulnerable or come across as self-centered. So here’s a liberating truth: You don’t need to put your whole self out there. In fact, you shouldn’t. Today, Jason will show you a powerful alternative: he calls it the “5% Character.” It’s a version of yourself that’s always interesting, always impressive, and always on — and once you identify it, you become exponentially more valuable and desirable. This idea unlocked his career and created a wave of opportunity— and today, he shows you how you can use it, too. For more on the 5% Character and additional strategies for personal branding, check out Jason’s first-ever course, called LinkedIn Mastery​, which helps you advance your career by becoming a respected top voice in your industry.

Trust is not binary, it's a gradient — and once you appreciate how it works, you can build (and maintain!) trust in smarter, more careful ways. It’s a concept called the trust battery. Today, Jason will show you how to use it — and how it can help you build better relationships, professionally and personally.

In this episode, Jason checks in with Nicole to see how she's managing the demands of work and parenting a four-month-old. Nicole opens up about the mental load of being the parent responsible for most of the childcare logistics. Jason then phones a friend—his wife, Jen—who shares the systems she and Jason have put in place to create a more balanced and equitable approach to parenting.

You made something amazing, but people don’t get it. Here’s the problem: “Creating something” is only half the job. “Teaching others to understand its value” is the other half. Today, Jason explains how to be a better teacher so that your ideas will be taken more seriously, your work will thrive, and people will finally listen.  Check out Poppy, the company that inspired this episode, HERE

When a video of a plane passenger refusing to give up her seat for a toddler went viral, the internet had thoughts—and most of them weren’t kind. Today, Jason and Nicole sit down to unpack why they're siding with the passenger, and what this viral moment reveals about how we rush to judgment online. This episode isn’t just about plane etiquette—it’s about the stories we tell, the facts we skip, and the cost of outrage culture. By the end of the episode, you’ll walk away with a sharper lens for spotting bias in viral narratives—and how that same skill can help you make better, smarter decisions in business and in life. HERE is the story referenced in the episode.

You’re being cautious. You want to do something, but you’re waiting for the right moment. You keep telling yourself: I must be careful. I can’t ruin what I already have. Today, Jason will help you move forward — and to do this, he is going to teach you the Messy Couch Principle. It’s a new way to assess your problem, and then find the confidence to act boldly.

Jason was asked for a favor— but told that he couldn't expect a favor in return. Should he be annoyed? Or is he expecting too much? Today, Nicole shares with Jason how she builds relationships that are mutually beneficial.
