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.

Is your ambition actually hurting you? In this episode of The Grateful Podcast, Jack Wagoner breaks down the dangerous difference between being lazy and being fragmented.
Most ambitious people aren't lazy—they are simply putting their energy into too many places at once. If you feel like you're working 24/7 but seeing zero results, you are suffering from fragmentation. Learn why "pressurized water" is the ultimate analogy for success, how the "metabolic tax" of multitasking destroys your brain, and why doing less might actually be the key to achieving more.
🚀 SPONSOR: This episode is brought to you by Magic Mind, the world's first productivity shot. Stop the fragmentation and get into flow.
