from The Second Act with Michael and John · host Michael Newborn, John Ballenger

Jon Macaskill's journey from South Africa to Louisiana set the stage for an extraordinary life marked by resilience, determination, and transformation. Excelling as a student and athlete, Jon's talents led him to the prestigious Naval Academy, where he began a remarkable military career. Serving as a Navy SEAL commander until 2020, he navigated various dynamic leadership roles, from the intensity of the battlefield to strategic operations and executive boardrooms. After retiring, Jon embraced a new path fueled by his passion for helping others through mindfulness coaching and resilience training. Initially skeptical of mindfulness, he discovered its life-changing impact, using it to overcome personal challenges and transform his outlook. Jon's teachings emphasize patience, intrinsic motivation, and finding a balance that enhances performance and focus. His inspiring story demonstrates that reinvention and personal growth are possible at any stage of life, showing how experiences from one chapter can profoundly enhance the next.
