In this episode, John speaks with Joe Navarro, a former FBI agent and supervisor renowned for his expertise in nonverbal communication and body language. Joe shares valuable insights from his extensive career, shedding light on how nonverbal cues influence leadership, trust, and human behavior. As the author of bestselling books such as What Every Body Is Saying and Dangerous Personalities, Joe offers practical advice on mastering body language and understanding its role in daily interactions. 

In this thought-provoking conversation, John and Joe delve into the essential lessons he has learned from years working in the FBI, the mindset needed to uncover the truth, and how these skills translate into daily life—whether it’s building resilience, navigating personal challenges, or leading with integrity.

Key Takeaways:

- (00:02:05) The Art of Observation:
Joe emphasizes the importance of paying attention to details, not just in investigations, but in life. “Every piece of evidence tells a story,” he says, explaining how small details often lead to breakthrough moments in solving crimes. Similarly, in our everyday experiences, it’s about noticing what others might overlook that can make all the difference.

- (00:08:15) Navigating High-Pressure Situations:
The conversation touches on how Joe handles the pressure of investigating crime scenes where mistakes can have dire consequences. “You learn to keep a cool head and trust your training,” he explains. The ability to stay calm under pressure is not just important in his line of work, but is a valuable skill we can all cultivate, especially in high-stakes situations.

- (00:14:20) The Role of Trust and Teamwork:
Joe draws a fascinating parallel between forensic teams and high-performance groups like the Blue Angels, emphasizing the need for trust and clear communication. “When we’re in the field, it’s all about trust—trust in your team, trust in the science, and trust in your gut,” he shares. This principle of trust-building is essential in any successful endeavor, whether you’re in an operating room, a boardroom, or a cockpit.

- (00:20:30) Learning from Failure:
Failure, according to Joe, is a powerful teacher. He recounts a personal story of a case where he initially missed a key piece of evidence. “It was a hard lesson, but it made me a better investigator. You have to own your mistakes to grow.” This idea of taking responsibility, reflecting on errors, and using them as stepping stones to success resonates strongly with anyone seeking self-improvement.

- (00:29:45) Resilience and Mental Toughness:
Joe shares how working on traumatic cases has shaped his mental toughness. He notes, “Resilience is built by facing the tough moments head-on.” His insights into maintaining emotional balance while working in such a demanding field provide valuable lessons for anyone looking to build inner strength.

Key Quotes:

“The truth is always there. It’s just waiting for someone to find it.”

“You cannot teach trust. It is demonstrative—shown through actions, as subtle as they may be, every single day.”

In today’s episode, John is joined by Lair Torrent, a highly respected holistic therapist, speaker, and author whose work has been featured on NPR, Rolling Stone, and The New York Times. As an expert in both relationships and high-performance psychology, Lair brings a unique perspective on how our mindset and emotional habits shape our success—whether at home, at work, or in life.

Throughout their conversation, John and Lair discuss essential success principles, ranging from mindfulness and self-awareness to trust-building and authentic leadership, all while drawing inspiration from the powerful lessons learned from the Blue Angels.

Key Takeaways
- (00:01:47) Mindfulness and Awareness:
Lair explains that success isn’t just about practice or repetition; it’s about showing up with the right mindset. By understanding “who in you” shows up to a task, you can shape the outcomes of critical moments. As Lair puts it: “If the wounded child in me shows up, the interview is going to go one way. But if I bring forward the professional, it’ll go another way.”

- (00:02:19) The Power of Self-Reflection:
Both John and Lair emphasize the importance of understanding the many parts of ourselves. Lair points out: “I am not just a single organism, but many vestiges of myself.” These different parts, whether rooted in childhood experiences or shaped by professional roles, determine how we approach challenges. The goal is to consciously choose the best part of ourselves in each moment.

- (00:13:16) Trust and Personal Responsibility:
Drawing from the Blue Angels’ culture of debriefs, they discuss how teams can build trust by creating a safe environment where everyone owns their mistakes. John highlights that on the Blue Angels, “We were critical of ourselves because that’s what builds trust—personal responsibility.” By being vulnerable and honest, teams can improve without finger-pointing or defensiveness.

- (00:26:02) Overcoming Imposter Syndrome:
Lair shares a personal story of feeling like an imposter when surrounded by high achievers, only to overcome it by consciously choosing to show up as his most confident and capable self. This story resonates with anyone who has ever felt out of place in a professional setting. Lair’s takeaway: “You need to know which version of yourself has access to the skills you need to succeed.”

Key Quotes:
“Mindfulness allows us to stop, push pause, and notice what we’re thinking and feeling. It gives us the power to change our habits.” 

“When you walk in your authentic self, people notice.”

Today's Best of Episode features Catherine Hernandez-Blades. Catherine is an award-winning CMO and PR News Hall of Famer who is currently the Senior Vice President of Marketing and Communications at SAIC. With over 25 years of experience in senior marketing and communication roles at Fortune 500 companies, Catherine likes to position herself at the nexus of purpose and profit, and she’s passionate about the social impact that corporations can make in the world.

In this episode, you’ll hear from Catherine on:

• (00:02:52) Her early ambitions. Catherine talks about her childhood dream of becoming a reporter and recalls how, as a young girl growing up in Louisiana, she would wear a little fedora hat with PRESS written on it and ‘interview’ people in her neighborhood with a fake microphone.

• (00:06:44) The secret to her success. For Catherine, success comes down to caring about your people and giving them the tools they need to thrive. She credits Jon Jones, her former boss at Raytheon, with helping her become a better leader by showing her how to build connections and create a sense of inclusivity and belonging at work.

• (00:18:20) Social impact. We discuss the role that Catherine played in the creation of My Special Aflac Duck, a social robot designed to facilitate communication and provide comfort to children undergoing cancer treatment. As Aflac’s former Chief ESG and Communications Officer, Catherine explains that consumers always reward companies for doing the right thing, and she adds that, as a result of the program, 15% of Americans were more likely to buy an Aflac policy.

• (00:42:42) Accountability. We talk about the similarities between the Blue Angel Debrief and the way that Catherine prefers to provide feedback to her team. Above all, she reminds managers and leaders to be kind, and she encourages employees to embrace the empowering effect of holding themselves accountable. 

• (00:51:39) Paying it forward. Catherine refers to the work she does with college students and explains why it’s important for women who have climbed the corporate ladder to share their knowledge and experience and give others the tools and coaching they need to succeed.

Today, I interview one of my heroes, former USAF Colonel and recipient of the Air Force Cross, Thomas Kirk Jr. Tom served his country with courage and distinction and went on to build an extraordinary life for himself outside of the military. Since leaving the Air Force, he’s lived in multiple countries, started several businesses, and worked as a financial planner, a real-estate investor, a jazz saxophonist, and a ski instructor. Today, Tom lives in Arizona with his wife Ann, where he plays golf, works out at the gym, and participates in the Veterans Heritage Project, which aims to inspire young people and honor the legacy of veterans.

Today, I dive deep into the psychology and experience of pleasure with Dr. Jia Gottlieb, the author of aah…; The Pleasure Book. Dr. Jia is a medical doctor and a lifelong student of yoga and meditation who takes a holistic approach to health and happiness. His mission is to help people understand and experience more pleasure and stop feeling guilty about doing what makes them feel good. He points out that humans are biologically predisposed to seek out pleasure, and he draws on elements of Ancient Greek philosophy and Eastern spirituality to show us how to live more balanced, joyful, and harmonious lives.

This week on the High-Performance Zone podcast, I’m excited to introduce you to award-winning content creator, community engagement leader, and world-class table tennis player Justin Bookey. Justin has worn many hats throughout his career; he’s been a lawyer, a marketing strategist, and a filmmaker, but he’s currently focusing on his role as CEO and Chairman of PongFit, a nonprofit that promotes fitness and community through ping pong. As a former competitive table tennis player, Justin sees the world through the filter of what he’s learned from training with Olympians as well as from his decades-long experience of collaborating with innovative leaders in the corporate environment. He’s super-passionate about ping pong, and he’s currently working on a book, provisionally titled The Twenty Principles of Pong, in which he shares the lessons he’s learned from both business and sport.

Thank you for tuning into the High-Performance Zone podcast. Today, I want to introduce you to Chad Hymas, who The Wall Street Journal describes as one of the ten most inspirational people in the world. Twenty-one years ago, Chad was injured in an accident that left him paralyzed.  Despite his injuries, he managed to turn his life around and develop a career as a motivational speaker and author. Before the Covid pandemic took hold, Chad traveled the world, teaching people how to deal with challenges and create positive change in their lives. Today, he offers mastermind classes at his 600-acre elk ranch in Rush Valley near Salt Lake City. As well as being an inspirational speaker and coach, Chad is a husband and a father of four who loves learning, growing, and spending time with people. 

This week on the High-Performance Zone, I sit with ex-UFC fighter and mixed martial arts expert Eliot ‘The Fire’ Marshall. Eliot reveals how The Karate Kid movie sparked his interest in martial arts as a young boy and explains how his success at jujitsu helped him to find friends and gain social acceptance as a teenager. He recounts his experience of growing up as the child of an inter-racial and inter-cultural couple and opens up about being on the receiving end of bullying, racism, and anti-Semitism in his youth. Eliot believes that his ability to defend himself has helped him to walk more calmly and confidently through life. Today, he owns seven martial arts schools in Colorado, hosts the Gospel of Fire podcast, and has given a TEDx talk and written a book about his experiences.

Joining me today on the High-Performance Zone podcast is cognitive scientist Jacquelyn H. Berry, Ph.D. Jacquelyn specializes in studying how humans build expertise and researches how they interact with computer interfaces and learn to use technology. Jackie loves to help people find their calling and live in alignment with their purpose. Her book Find Your Carrot: Stop the Foolishness, Get on with your Authentic Self  was inspired by her time spent teaching and researching as a Fulbright scholar at the American University in Cairo, where she challenged her students to master a new skill in a semester. Jackie is also a competitive gamer who takes part in Tetris tournaments and carries out academic research into how gaming can inform learning.

Welcome to the High-Performance Zone Podcast, where we unpack the process and mindset of greatness. Today, I’m excited to introduce you to my fellow warrior and former Navy SEAL, Mark Divine. Mark is the founder of Unbeatable Mind, a program that combines elements of Zen meditation with Navy SEAL kick-assery to help people achieve extraordinary results and get beyond whatever is holding them back. Mark is also the creator of the SEALFIT fitness program and the Courage Foundation, which helps veterans suffering from mental health issues. We dive into how a Navy SEAL and a Blue Angel see the world and chart Mark’s transition from MBA graduate to Navy SEAL Commander to successful entrepreneur, author, and leadership coach.

In today's Best of Episode, we feature Steve Leder. Steve is a husband, father, and the Senior Rabbi of the Wilshire Boulevard Temple in Los Angeles. He’s also a respected scholar and religious commentator and the author of several bestselling books, including The Extraordinary Nature of Ordinary Things and More Beautiful Than Before; How Suffering Transforms Us. His latest book, The Beauty of What Remains; How Our Greatest Fears Become Our Greatest Gifts, shows us how our fear of death can help us define what’s truly meaningful and bring more gratitude, value, and purpose to our lives.

In this episode, you’ll hear from Rabbi Leder on:

(00:15:10) The joy of hugs. As enthusiastic huggers, we talk about the power of human touch and its ability to connect and console people in a way that words can’t. Also, Rabbi Leder explains how hugs help us demonstrate trust, express empathy, and affirm each other’s humanity.

(00:31:18) Death as a teacher. Despite Rabbi Leder’s long experience of dealing with the dying and their grieving relatives, he admits that only the experience of looking at his own father’s body made him finally realize that he, too, was going to die. As a mourner rather than a rabbi, he reveals how his experience of bereavement changed his life for the better and helped make him a better husband, father, and human being.

(00:38:57) The transmigration of the soul. Rabbi Leder shares his stories of witnessing the sense of peace that comes over the dying as the energy of the soul leaves the body and is transformed into an unknown but continuing force.

(00:53:01) The indefinable nature of God. We discuss the meaning of God’s ‘ I Will Be Who I Will Be’ statement to Moses, and Rabbi Leder points out that the phrase is deliberately vague since the true nature of divinity and cosmic justice is just too powerful and complex for human beings to understand. 

(01:04:38) Gratitude. Rabbi Leder encourages us to count our blessings and keep going until we reach a hundred! In particular, he reminds us to be grateful for even the smallest of things and celebrate all the abundance and beauty in our lives.

Bio :Steve is the founder of "Gratitude At Work" - a happiness company founded in 2006.

In today's Best of Episode, we feature Dr. Gillian Mandich. Dr. Gillian is a happiness researcher, public speaker, and the founder of The International Happiness Institute of Health Science Research. Gillian believes that happiness is a practice, not a destination, and, through her keynote speeches, workshops, and courses, she helps people become healthier and happier by encouraging them to adopt simple habits and practices that have been scientifically proven to increase happiness and produce a greater sense of fulfillment and well-being.

In this episode, you’ll hear from Gillian Mandich on:

(00:33:33) The meaning of happiness. Gillian defines happiness as the experience of joy, contentment, and positive well-being combined with the sense that your life is good, meaningful, and worthwhile. However, she points out that happiness means different things to different people and stresses the importance of developing an awareness of what makes you happy and making an effort to do more of what you love and less of what you hate.

(00:50:07) Overriding the brain’s natural negativity bias. She explains that practicing gratitude is one of the most powerful ways to train your brain to focus on the positive rather than dwell on the negative. She also suggests keeping a gratitude journal and even a gratitude jar to heighten your appreciation of all the good things in your life.

(01:06:21) Creating small bursts of joy. According to Gillian’s research, the small moments of joy in our daily lives, rather than the big occasions such as birthdays, graduations, and vacations, bring us the most happiness. So, her tip for living a consistently happy life is to create small bursts of joy throughout the day by doing simple things, like calling a friend or going for a walk. 

(01:30:12) Taking control. She talks about the benefits of focusing your attention on the areas of your life over which you have control. Plus, she emphasizes the importance of accepting the fact that bad things happen and understanding that it’s impossible to be happy all the time.  

(01:51:10) Learning to see the world through the lens of awe. Gillian describes a recent experience of awe that made her change the way she saw the world. She suggests seeking solace and inspiration in beauty and nature by taking the time to look up at the stars or gaze at a beautiful sunset.

In this week's Best of Episode, we welcome Molly Fletcher.  Molly is a keynote speaker and former top sports agent who has represented over 300 high-performing athletes, coaches, and broadcasters. She’s also the author of several best-selling books, including The Energy Clock, The Business of Being the Best, and Fearless at Work. Molly’s mission is to lead, inspire, and connect with courage and optimism. She encourages people to find the courage to combat complacency, and through her recently released TED talk, her Game Changers podcast, and her in-person and virtual trainings, she helps others strengthen their resolve, maximize their potential, and develop a winning mindset.

In this episode, you’ll hear from Molly Fletcher on:

• (00:03:05) Navigating change. Molly emphasizes the importance of adapting to change and refers to the example of one of her former clients, Major League Baseball Hall of Famer John Smoltz, who successfully transitioned from starting pitcher to closer. She praises his ability to see his new role as an opportunity rather than a challenge and encourages everyone to view change as a chance to get curious, explore new possibilities, and fulfill their true potential. 

• (00:06:53) Creating a Smile File. Molly recalls making a highlights reel for one of her athletes and using it to help him recover his form. She describes how she continues to apply this technique in non-sporting contexts and suggests compiling a ‘Smile File’ of appreciative emails, inspirational quotes, and words of wisdom to provide comfort and motivation when things get tough.

• (00:17:39) Conducting an energy audit. She explains how to live a more energized life by scheduling time on your calendar for the activities that light you up while making a conscious effort to minimize, delegate, or remove the tasks that leave you feeling exhausted and drained. 

• (00:41:50) Molly’s morning workout. She talks us through her morning routine,  which consists of hot yoga, cardio training, and strength conditioning, and she extols the benefits of walking, eating cleanly, and taking regular cold showers and plunges.

• (00:43:55) Cultivating a champion mindset. We discuss Molly’s recent TED talk, and she reveals how her time as a sports coach taught her that the most successful athletes concentrate on upping their own game rather than focusing on what their competitors are doing. She also recommends chasing constant improvement and fulfillment rather than recognition and achievement.
