How to Be Unstoppable My friend and master coach David Wood is back on the podcast for a collaborative episode - we both host podcasts and decided to interview each other for this episode around the theme of being unstoppable. We talk about the times in our life where we were unstoppable in achieveing our goals and deconstruct the frameworks for what we were doing at those times that we werent doing at other times when we didn't quite succeed The difference between being unstoppable and being just good enough can seem small but make a huge difference when it comes to actually achieving your life biggest goals. Last fall I was out visiting David at his home in Colorado and we spend several evenings talking about leadership, success, tough conversations, focus, our own life lessons - and we knew we had to get some of this stuff out of our heads and onto podcasts! This is the 3rd such episode to come from that trip.

He has worked with rock stars and sports legends and was twice named to Fortune magazine’s list of the top 20 highest-paid executives under 40. A series of events centering on the sudden death of his mother from cancer caused him to re-evaluate what really mattered in life…and to finally breathe.

It's walking on the earth." - Jason Garner "Artists are really attuned. And they are also very attuned to pain because what is being expressed through art is a way of asking 'Do you love me now?'" - Jason Garner "Some people say 'We're on the same boat', that's not true. Some of us have bigger, nicer boats. Some people have no boats. We are in this ocean together."- Jason Garner "Feels to me that the most important thing that has to be addressed is our own hearts. All of us." - Jason Garner "Meditation is a practice of intimacy, not this violent doing that we try 'I need to clear my mind' or 'I need to experience emptiness'. " - Jason Garner "Listening is important but we need to train ourselves to get quiet enough to know what you're listening to." - Jason Garner Continue the AdventureJason Garner's Website
