The Jason Wright Show

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Our ability to pay attention is collapsing. From the New York Times bestselling author of Chasing the Scream and Lost Connections comes a groundbreaking examination of why this is happening—and how to get our attention back.“The book the world needs in order to win the war on distraction.”—Adam Grant, author of Think Again“Read this book to save your mind.”—Susan Cain, author of Quiet In the United States, teenagers can focus on one task for only sixty-five seconds at a time, and office workers average only three minutes. Like so many of us, Johann Hari was finding that constantly switching from device to device and tab to tab was a diminishing and depressing way to live. He tried all sorts of self-help solutions—even abandoning his phone for three months—but nothing seemed to work. So Hari went on an epic journey across the world to interview the leading experts on human attention—and he discovered that everything we think we know about this crisis is wrong. We think our inability to focus is a personal failure to exert enough willpower over our devices. The truth is even more disturbing: our focus has been stolen by powerful external forces that have left us uniquely vulnerable to corporations determined to raid our attention for profit. Hari found that there are twelve deep causes of this crisis, from the decline of mind-wandering to rising pollution, all of which have robbed some of our attention. In Stolen Focus, he introduces readers to Silicon Valley dissidents who learned to hack human attention, and veterinarians who diagnose dogs with ADHD. He explores a favela in Rio de Janeiro where everyone lost their attention in a particularly surreal way, and an office in New Zealand that discovered a remarkable technique to restore workers’ productivity. Crucially, Hari learned how we can reclaim our focus—as individuals, and as a society—if we are determined to fight for it. Stolen Focus will transform the debate about attention and finally show us how to get it back.

Fixed vs. Growth Mindset Do you have a fixed or a growth mindset? It can have a huge impact on your life. As someone who suffered from a fixed mindset for years I’ve since learned to develop a growth mindset. Thanks to the work of Dr. Carol Dweck many people can now change the trajectory of their entire future by adopting a growth mindset in their work, their relationships and their overall interaction with their world. Checkout the Vitruvian Lab Training in the Apple iTunes Store. I will soon be launching an entire course on developing a growth mindset. #caroldweck #growthmindset #improvealwaysinallways

Derek Sivers Derek Sivers is a modern sage. He’s been wildly successful by all the typical measures, but that’s not why I like him and his work. Nope. It’s because Derek seems to have beaten the game of life. He lives on his terms. Just because everyone thinks you should sell your company and make millions and then live the FU money life, Derek does not. He keeps things simple. He doesn’t waste time, words or seemingly any aspect of life. He appears to live one of the most contented and thoughtful lives of anyone I’ve witnessed. So naturally when read his book, “Anything You Want,” and saw his invitation to email him I jumped at the opportunity. Where one of my other virtual mentors and close friend of Derek’s Tim Ferriss erects walls and fortresses to keep everyone not in his inner circle out (and I don’t blame him) Derek says, come on in. I’ll talk to you. So I emailed him. Eventually, he responded and then multiple emails back and forth later we had some digital dialogue. I’m grateful to say the least. I like that this episode stretched me a little. I had to find a way to make it worthy of an episode, and I think I pulled it off. I hope you enjoy learning more about Derek. One day, I hope to have him on for a lengthier conversation. Until then, I’m truly honored to have at least got a personal touch for the Jason Wright Show. Here’s one of my favorite Derek TED Talks on goals. I’ve adopted this discipline. I actually learned if from Steven Kotler, but Derek drove home the point for me. More About Derek: I always write for my audience, not for myself, so this feels indulgent. When I think of expressing this kind of “about me” stuff in an article, I stop myself because it’s not directly useful to you. So this is just one big page where I can write all about myself, without feeling the need for it to be useful. And some day this site will be all that’s left of me, so I might as well write my own mini autobiography. Time line for context: 1969: born in California1976: started playing piano, viola, and clarinet1979: got a TRS-80 computer and dove deep into programming in BASIC1983: started playing guitar, decided I wanted to be a successful musician1987: started Berklee College of Music in Boston1988: joined a circus, as ringleader/MC musician1990: graduated college, moved to New York City, got a job at Warner/Chappell Music1992: quit my job, and toured Japan as Ryuichi Sakamoto’s guitarist1993: lived alone on the Oregon coast for 7 months, writing and recording music full-time, in a town with a population of 21994: played around New York and universities with my band “Hit Me”, and the Professional Pests1995: started a record label, booking agency, and recording studio1996: recorded and released my album1997: started CD Baby1998: quit the circus, after 10 years and about 1000 shows1999: started HostBaby2000: moved to Portland, Oregon2002: moved to Santa Monica, California2007: rough year, moved to London, decided to quit my company2008: moved to San Francisco, sold CD Baby and HostBaby2009: moved to New York City, started writing and speaking more2010: spoke at TED three times in a year, moved to Singapore2011: published “Anything You Want” book about my CD Baby days, started Wood Egg2012: had a baby2013: moved to New Zealand to raise him in nature and be a mostly-full-time dad2014 to 2018: sabbatical, but answered 92,354 emails from 33,776 people2017: started writing “How to Live”2019: moved to Oxford, England2020: moved back New Zealand, released “Your Music and People” and “Hell Yeah or No”2021: finished and released the best thing I’ve ever written: “How to Live” About me: I’m ambitiously focused on creating More than anything, I want to make lots of stuff. I want to make articles, books, websites, music, companies, systems, apps, and especially new ideas. This shapes most of my life decisions. Saying no to almost everything, so I can have lots of time for making. At the age of 14, I decided I wanted to be a successful musician. Knowing it’s something that millions want, but only one-in-a-million achieve, I knew I’d have to be fiercely focused, persistent, savvy, and work like an Olympic athlete in training. In other words, not casual. I was single-focused obsessed with being a successful musician from age 14 to 29 — crucial years when many of my friends were feeling lost. It had me waking up early to practice, staying up late to write, saying no to all distractions, and reading whatever I could to improve. Then, at age 29, I accidentally started a company, so I was narrow-focused on creating that for 10 years, through the age of 39. I also want to learn lots of stuff, especially different approaches to thinking and living. That’s why I read so much non-fiction, and want to keep moving around the wor

The Jason Wright Show Happy Father’s Day! My buddy John Landes just became a father for the first time. So I sat down with him and discussed how it was going. Also, my long-time friend Jason Smith was kind enough to send some thoughts on what fatherhood meant to him. As always he delivered great wisdom. To all the Dads out there Happy Father’s Day!!

Josh Tomlin has spent over a decade in the Major Leagues. He’s a fellow East Texan, father and dude obsessed with being the absolute best he can be. I love Josh. I’m so honored to call him friend. Well, now I get to call him co-host of Texas Titan Media’s latest show. Although we have no idea what we’re going to call the show yet, we are thrilled nonetheless. Hey this is podcasting not network T.V. If we want to go out half baked so be it! Here’s a little about Josh Tomlin was coached by his father until he began playing high school baseball.[1] Tomlin attended Whitehouse High School,[2] Angelina College, and Texas Tech University.[3] He was drafted by the San Diego Padres in the 11th round of the 2005 Major League Baseball draft, but did not sign.[4][5] Cleveland Indians[edit] Tomlin with the Cleveland Indians Tomlin was drafted again by the Cleveland Indians in the 19th round of the 2006 Major League Baseball draft, and did sign. Since 2006, he has played with various minor league baseball teams including the Mahoning Valley Scrappers, Lake County Captains, Kinston Indians, Buffalo Bisons, and Columbus Clippers. At Columbus, Tomlin went 8–4 with a 2.68 ERA in 20 appearances, including 17 starts. He has an overall minor-league record of 51–24 with a 3.20 ERA. Tomlin was promoted to the Indians to make his major league debut against the New York Yankees on July 27, 2010,[6] where he outpitched the Yankees’ CC Sabathia, earning a 4–1 win. In 12 starts for the Indians, Tomlin went 6-4 with a 4.56 ERA in 73 innings. In 2011, Tomlin pitched most of the season in the Indians rotation, finishing with a record of 12-7 in 26 starts. On May 7, 2012, Tomlin pitched a no-decision with a career-high eight strikeouts in a win versus the White Sox.[7] The following day Tomlin reported soreness in his wrist and was placed on the 15-day disabled list after undergoing an MRI which revealed inflammation to soft tissue.[8] In July, holding a 5-5 record and 5.45 ERA and recording at least six innings in just 7 of 13 starts (compared to 23 of 26 in all of 2011), Tomlin stated, “Last year, they could count on me to save the bullpen. It’s bothered me that I’ve been like that. It’s frustrating.”[9] On August 21, 2012, Tomlin underwent Tommy John surgery and was eliminated for the rest of the 2012 season and was expected to miss the entire 2013 season.[10][11] However, he did pitch in one game on September 12, 2013, when he pitched two shutout innings against the Chicago White Sox in a relief appearance. Tomlin was called up from AAA Columbus on May 5, 2014, and placed on the Cleveland Indians starting rotation, replacing Carlos Carrasco.[12] On June 28, Tomlin pitched a near perfect game against the Seattle Mariners, striking out 11, walking none, and giving up one hit. The only player to reach base was Kyle Seager, getting a lead off single in the fifth. Tomlin went on to get a complete game shutout, leading the Indians to a 5-0 victory.[13][14] He finished the 2014 season appearing in 25 games, 16 of them starts, with a record of 6-9 in 104 innings. The following season, Tomlin underwent shoulder surgery in April 2015,[15] and started just 10 games for the Indians. On January 15, 2016, he and the Indians agreed to a one-year deal for the 2016 season worth $2.5 million. Negotiations continued, and 11 days later, another year was added to the contract, for the same $2.5 million base salary. A team option, worth $3 million, was available for the 2018 season.[16] The Indians exercised Tomlin’s 2018 option on November 3, 2017.[17] He finished the regular season starting 29 games for the Indians, establishing career highs in every statistical pitching category. He had a very low walk rate, leading the majors with only 1.03 bases on balls per 9 innings pitched.[18] He also started 4 games for the Indians in their postseason route to the World Series, going 2–1 with a 4.58 ERA. In 2017, he had a record of 10-9 with a 4.98 ERA in 26 starts. In 2018, Tomlin began the season as the Indians fourth starter, but after struggling through six starts, he was moved to the bullpen.[19] Tomlin finished with a career-worst 6.14 ERA in 32 appearances, 9 starts. He elected free agency on October 29, 2018. Atlanta Braves[edit] In January 2019, Tomlin trained at Driveline Baseball to improve his pitching delivery.[20][21] On February 7, Tomlin signed a minor league deal with the Milwaukee Brewers that included an invitation to spring training.[22][23] Tomlin signed a minor league contract with the Atlanta Braves on March 21,[24] a day after the Brewers released him.[25] Tomlin served mainly as a multi-inning reliever for the Braves, going 2–1 with a 3.

The Jason Wright Show Jordan Selleck is a friend, fellow entrepreneur, Dad, husband and self improvement obsessed dude. I love my conversations with Jordan, and I was thrilled when he wanted to do one of our check-ins this morning. Last Saturday I attended one of the most moving funeral services of my life. Chris Pate was a local business owner, friend, husband, father and most likely angel walking among us. To know Chris was to love him. He was one of those rare people you NEVER heard a bad word spoken about. He was the guy you called when you were stuck in a ditch, wanted to go fishing or just needed someone to hang out with. I did not do this nearly enough, and I regret it. I wish I had spent more time with this man. During the service a song by J.B. Patterson of J.B. and the Moonshine Band (one of Chris’ close friends) was debuted. J.B. wrote and produced this song in less than 24 hours. It so perfectly captures the type of man Chris was and all of us should aspire to be. I really hope you will take the time to listen to it and share it far and wide. Here is a link to it on YouTube. Thanks for listening. I hope you indeed have the best Friday EVER! JW

I’m about to type something I haven’t typed, said or thought in a long long time. I can’t wait to go to the movies. I want to see ‘Maverick.’ I think Tom Cruise may have single handedly saved Hollywood with this film by making a movie Americans have been longing for. Retirement is something we all aspire to. However, the stats show most people die pretty soon after. A loss of purpose and productivity can be detrimental to our lives so why do we stop ‘working?’ Mr. Money Mustache has a great take on ‘retirement.’ A lost city of gold has been discovered in South America. Weird stats. Quick-how much saliva does the average person create in just a month? It’s pretty crazy. I hope you have the best Friday ever, and this helps. Until we meet again always endeavor to ‘Improve always in ALL ways!’ https://www.jasonwrightnow.com/

Medal of Honor Recipient Mike Thornton This was such an honor. I got to sit down with a true hero. Mike Thornton is by all accounts a true American hero. In April of 1972, near the end of the Vietnam War, SEAL Lieutenant Tom Norris performed an unprecedented ground rescue of two American airmen who were shot down behind enemy lines in North Vietnam, a feat for which he would be awarded the Medal of Honor. Just six months later, Norris was sent on a dangerous special reconnaissance mission that would take his team deep into enemy territory. In the running gun battle that ensued, Lieutenant Norris was severely wounded; a bullet entered his left eye and exited the left side of his head. SEAL Petty Officer Mike Thornton, under heavy fire, fought his way back onto a North Vietnamese beach to rescue his officer―an act of heroism that earned him the Medal of Honor as well. This is the true story of two living American legends who entered military service and the Navy SEAL teams for vastly different reasons―and were thrown together for a single combat mission that would define their lives. Thornton served aboard destroyers as a gunner’s mate apprentice until November 1968, when he attended United States Navy SEAL selection and training at Coronado, California. He was among only 18 students who graduated from BUD/S class 49 in March 1969, which started with 129 members. He received direct assignment to SEAL Team ONE, a separate organization from the Underwater Demolition Teams that new personnel were normally assigned. Following SEAL Basic Indoctrination (SBI) training and platoon training, Thornton deployed to South Vietnam with Charlie Platoon from December 1969 to June 1970. He served numerous combat tours in Southeast Asia which ran from 1969 to December 1972.[1][2] Thornton conducted intelligence gathering operations across Vietnam. By the last quarter of 1972, U.S. involvement in the region had waned and Thornton, by then a petty officer, was one of only a dozen SEALs remaining in Vietnam.[3] Medal of Honor action[edit] Thornton at the Army–Navy football game on December 2, 2006 On October 31 of that year, Thornton participated in a mission to capture prisoners and gather intelligence from the Cửa Việt Base near the coast of Quảng Trị Province, just south of the Demilitarized Zone. In addition to Thornton, the mission team consisted of SEAL Lieutenant Thomas R. Norris, and three experienced Vietnamese men Thornton had worked with before, members of the LDNN, the South Vietnamese Special Forces. The group was transported by junk until sunset, then paddled a rubber boat to within a mile of shore and swam the remaining distance. Moving inland past numerous North Vietnamese encampments, the group reconnoitered through the night.[1][2] The team soon realized that they had landed too far north and were actually in North Vietnam. They found large numbers of bunker complexes and heavy concentrations of North Vietnamese troops. They patrolled slowly through the middle of the enemy troops, gathering intelligence as they went.[4] The group encountered a two-man North Vietnamese patrol on the beach, which the South Vietnamese attempted to capture. Thornton chased one of the enemy back towards the jungle to prevent him from alerting others. When Thornton shot him, about 50 North Vietnamese soldiers chased after him. Moving from one position to another, Thornton and the others kept the enemy confused about the number of troops they faced. Thornton was wounded in the back by a grenade. He contacted a destroyer and requested naval gunfire support, but unknown to Thornton it was struck by North Vietnamese shore batteries and unable to fire. A second destroyer was unable to maneuver into firing position for the same reason.[4] For the next four hours, the five men held off an enemy force estimated at 150 strong. Norris attempted to call in the Vietnamese junk boats, one of which had a mortar on board, but the destroyers forbid them from entering the line of fire. Thornton, Norris and the three Vietnamese were alone and nearly surrounded. Near dawn, Norris ordered the group to extract towards the beach, and they leap-frogged towards the surf. Norris was able to contact the cruiser USS Newport News and requested that they fire for effect to cover their withdrawal. Norris covered the group’s rearward movement. As he prepared to fire a LAW rocket at a group of 70 to 75 North Vietnamese troops attacking his position, he was severely wounded by a round through his head.[4] One of the South Vietnamese who saw Norris get shot assumed he was dead. Thornton, upon hearing the news, ran about 400 yards (370 m) to the last location he saw Norris to recover the body of his fallen comrade. When he found Norris, he saw that “the whole side of his head was completely gone.” As enemy troops overran his position, he stopped to shoot severa

So it’s the latest chapter in the slow burning apocalypse.  We have yet another virus to freak out over. Or should we? I wanted to give the Jason Wright Show audience a little insight into the virus known as Monkeypox. In this episode I share what it is, what are its origins and how do humans contract it. Monkeypox-Monkeypox was first discovered in 1958 when two outbreaks of a pox-like disease occurred in colonies of monkeys kept for research, hence the name ‘monkeypox.’ The first human case of monkeypox was recorded in 1970 in the Democratic Republic of Congo during a period of intensified effort to eliminate smallpox. Since then monkeypox has been reported in humans in other central and western African countries. Transmission of monkeypox virus occurs when a person comes into contact with the virus from an animal, human, or materials contaminated with the virus. The virus enters the body through broken skin (even if not visible), respiratory tract, or the mucous membranes (eyes, nose, or mouth). Animal-to-human transmission may occur by bite or scratch, bush meat preparation, direct contact with body fluids or lesion material, or indirect contact with lesion material, such as through contaminated bedding. Human-to-human transmission is thought to occur primarily through large respiratory droplets. Respiratory droplets generally cannot travel more than a few feet, so prolonged face-to-face contact is required. Other human-to-human methods of transmission include direct contact with body fluids or lesion material, and indirect contact with lesion material, such as through contaminated clothing or linens.

Jason Wright and Stephen Hussey on The Jason Wright Show I’ve become very fond of my friend Stephen Hussey. He’s a kind soul with a big brain and a shared love of books.

Brian Thompson on The Jason Wright Show Brian Thompson was first one of the most celebrated high school football players in the state of Texas and nation. He was faster than everyone else. He was stronger than everyone else. He would do whatever it took to earn a Division I football scholarship. He did. He signed with Texas A&M. However, due to a career ending injury Brian was sidelined. He then devoted his life to the business of health and wellness. First becoming a hospital administrator and then using his vast knowledge of sports science having studied under the likes of legendary trainer Charles Poliquin to create healthier, faster, stronger athletes. He now is the Administrative Director for Sports Medicine Human Performance and Sleep at the Christus Human Performance Center. Basically, Brian gets paid to lead in all the areas I totally geek out on. This conversation was wide ranging full of tips, sound advice and expertise from a true industry leader. We also discuss the Christus Speed Clinic Coming up. If you want to register, just click the link below. The clinic will be led by legendary speed coach Tom Shaw. Speed Clinic

Jason and Giovanni on The Jason Wright Show “Iron Sharpens Iron” I was in Houston on business. On one morning of the trip I was visiting with my buddy Giovanni Catanzaro. The conversation veered into self improvement, relationships and always getting better. Giovanni is young enough to be my son. Given his wisdom at such a young age I’d be proud. Sidebar, his Dad is a bit of a badass himself. Giovanni’s father’s business slid during the financial crisis of 2008. At 40 years old Giovanni’s Dad had a big decision to make. How would this middle aged father and husband living in Long Island New York feed his family with his business falling to the wayside? He decided to join the Army. That’s right. At 40 years old Giovanni’s Dad went off to basic training. Fast forward 5 years. It was time for another move. What did he do? He became a Cop at 45. With a role model like that who lives by the credo “You do what you gotta do,” it’s no wonder Giovanni is as wise as he is. This was such a fun conversation. For those of us who often use the millennials as a punching bag, here’s a conversation to give you hope. Giovanni is a full blown millennial, but he is proof they aren’t all bad. Enjoy!

Goal setting is one thing. Setting the right goals and achieving them is another. In this episode I discuss how to set goals that will stick and keep you motivated during those times you want to give up on them.

Clark Bartram So since I was very young I’ve been into health and wellness. I just love feeling good and staying healthy. There’s probably not too many fitness magazines I haven’t subscribed to starting with Flex when I was in high school finally graduating to Iron Man, Men’s Health and Men’s Journal when I was in college. In the world of fitness models there’s a couple of faces you come to get familiar with. Clark Bartram is one of them. I started following Clark on Instagram a while back. It wasn’t his workouts or eating tips I was drawn to. It was his attitude. This 58 year old dude was not just ripped physically but mentally as well. I love his message about the importance of knowing who you are, putting in the work and never slowing the process of evolving and improving as a person. Therefore, I was thrilled when Clark agreed to come on the JWS. I know you will leave this episode inspired. Oh, and if you’re like me and over 40 Clark serves as a great muse. The dude is in phenomenal shape and he’s all “natty.” For those of you who don’t know that means natural. He doesn’t take steroids. Just good clean living and hard ass work. Besides being a fitness coach, trainer and model he’s a published author some 10 times over! Enjoy the show.
