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.

This is How to Build Clarity When You're Completely Lost with Tristan Gregoire | 107
The Grateful Podcast with Jack Wagoner
Episode 107
Guesting Tristan Gregoire
Clarity isn’t found in a plan. It’s found in the process.
In this episode of The Grateful Podcast, I sit down with 24-year-old Tristan Gregoire, founder of The Best Self Protocol. Tristan went from being a chronic overthinker, stuck in endless vision boards and anxiety, to creating clarity, confidence, and real change.
We talk about how he broke the loop of consuming endless self-help without action, why small steps compound into transformation, and how imperfect action beats the perfect plan every time. Tristan shares the paradox of success — that gratitude and ambition can co-exist — and why your life depends on the story you tell yourself.
By the end, you’ll feel clearer, calmer, and more connected to your own path.
