The Grateful Podcast with Jack Wagoner
You can be grateful for what you have and still strive for more. The duality of gratitude and success is a difficult concept to grasp, but understanding it is invaluable in both your success and well-being.
On the Grateful Podcast, Jack and his guests explain how everyone has opportunities and choices to go after the life they want, and they owe it to themselves to do just that. You must recognize and be grateful for what you have in order to get the best out of yourself moving forward.
There are conversations ranging from business to mental health and everything in between as well.
The Grateful Podcast with Jack Wagoner
I Published 100 Podcasts at 18: I Learned This | 100
Hitting 100 episodes feels wild. I started The Grateful Podcast as a 16-year-old kid in France with nothing but curiosity and a mic. Today I’m looking back at the biggest lessons from this journey—the ones that reshaped how I think, how I live, and what I want to build going forward.
Key Discussion Points
• Gratitude rewires your brain for joy
• Do the hard thing, not busywork
• Beliefs put ceilings on our potential
• Non-attachment means embracing all of life
• Anxiety is an engine light, not the problem
• Fame and money don’t equal fulfillment
• Balancing gratitude with ambition daily
This is a thank-you episode—for every single person who has tuned in, shared an episode, or just reminded me why I keep going. I’m nowhere near done.
