Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life — with Leadership Icon Jon Gordon ’93

Since being introduced to Jon Gordon ’93 just a few weeks ago, Michelle has read seven of his books—and genuinely feels changed by them. Then we talked with Jon, and Steph felt it too. There is something about the way Jon thinks, teaches and tells a story that stays with you.Jon is the bestselling author of more than 30 books, including The Energy Bus, The Carpenter, The Hard Hat and The Power of Positive Habits. He is also one of the world’s most sought-after speakers and works with CEOs, business leaders, coaches and some of the most successful teams in college and professional sports.We talk about his Cornell lacrosse years, the extraordinary story of George Boiardi ’04, and Jon gets remarkably candid about his own struggles with negativity, fear, failure, forgiveness and marriage. He shares why we should talk to ourselves instead of listening to ourselves, what it means to “forgive fast,” and how small changes in the way we think can change our lives.And beyond all the wisdom, we just really like Jon. He is warm, funny, generous and completely genuine—and we left this conversation understanding why so many people respond so deeply to him.A huge thank you our Vino (episode 242) for introducing us. We’re very grateful you did. This one is special.Find Jon Gordon here: https://jongordon.comHis podcast: The Jon Gordon PodcastNot sponsored by or affiliated with Cornell University
