Episode 325: John “Gucci” Foley – Former Lead Solo Pilot Of The Blue Angels On The Glad To Be Here Mindset

By in Podcast

We are super pumped to have John Foley, call sign Gucci, on the show with us today. John is a former lead solo pilot of the Blue Angels, a Sloan Fellow at Stanford School of Business, a top-rated Keynote Speaker to over 1500 organizations worldwide, a bestselling author, and perhaps our favorite title for this guy, gratitude guru.

As a Blue Angel pilot, John represented 1/10 of 1/10 of 1% of all pilots worldwide. Flying at speeds of more the 500 miles per hour and in formations as close as 18 inches apart, John is no stranger to excellence, focus, and precision that rides the absolute razor’s edge of life and death.

He has learned to make his mind one-pointed and discovered that being grateful is the base of living in a high-performance zone.

We are tremendously thankful for this conversation and loved the direction it took, we hope you feel the same.

In this episode we discuss:

  • gratitude and joy are a state of being
  • glad to be here mindset
  • where inspiration meets action
  • inspiration breathes life into
  • morning routines to wake up happy
  • dogs as teachers
  • following dreams in spite of rejection
  • finding your passion and pursuing it relentlessly
  • difference between being fearful and being afraid
  • the importance of consistency
  • talking about it vs doing it
  • 300% better from your best performance
  • mindset then process
  • cadence of execution
  • systematize the debrief
  • vulnerability and truthfulness allows us to be better
  • check your ego at the door
  • being self-aware and celebrating the daily wins
  • loving the underdog role
  • watering the seeds without attachment to outcome
  • glad to be here wake up and nightcap
  • rebooting with gratitude
  • morning movement practice
  • how do you begin to build trust
  • give first before you can receive

Namaste-

Jess
