On this episode of The Jon Gordon Podcast, I’m joined by my good friend David Raih—football coach, motivator, and one of the best examples I know of what it means to truly go after your purpose. David’s journey is powerful. He left a great job, walked away from comfort, and took a risk, just to follow his passion for football and people.
We talk about what happens when you’re willing to show up even when you’re scared. From chasing down Rick Neuheisel at UCLA—literally showing up at his press conference—to flying to Texas Tech to meet Cliff Kingsbury who had no idea he was coming, David’s story reminds us that our path isn’t always easy, but it’s always worth it.
We discuss what it’s like to start from the bottom, battle through setbacks, build real relationships, and keep moving forward with faith and positivity. David shares so much wisdom about the power of action, the importance of mentors, and what it means to serve others, on and off the field.
If you’re searching for your purpose, or maybe you’re facing a tough moment, you’ll want to hear David’s story. I loved this conversation. I know you will too. Let’s get started. Your vision. Your purpose. Your life. It’s time to show up.About David,
David Raih is an American professional football coach who is the tight ends coach for the Washington Commanders of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football as a quarterback for the Iowa Hawkeyes. Raih entered coaching as an intern at UCLA in 2008 and has also coached with the Hawkeyes, Texas Tech Red Raiders, and Vanderbilt Commodores of the NCAA and the NFL's Green Bay Packers, Arizona Cardinals, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

On this episode of The Jon Gordon Podcast, I’m joined by my good friend Antonio Neves for one of the most honest and powerful conversations we’ve had on the show. Antonio’s story is incredibly moving, he opens up about losing his home in the Pacific Palisades fires and how that one experience changed everything for his family. We talk openly about grief, resilience, and what it’s like to face some of life’s toughest moments and, most importantly, how to find hope and new beginnings on the other side.

We get into his new book, The One Day Method, and why focusing on one great day at a time can be an absolute game-changer, especially when life throws you a curveball.
This is a real conversation about overcoming, recommitting to what matters, and learning how to see the gift, even in pain. If you’re going through a challenging season, I promise this episode will encourage you and remind you that the best is yet to come.About Antonio,

On this episode, I have the absolute pleasure of sitting down with two incredible brothers—Pat and Robert McLaughlin. These guys are the real deal. Not only are they heart-driven leaders making a huge impact in their respective fields, but they recently joined us in Orlando at our Day of Development and Jon Gordon Certified events, dove right in, and became Jon Gordon Certified Trainers!
Pat McLaughlin is a serial entrepreneur, chiropractor, business owner, and author. He’s run everything from chiropractic practices to hair salons (yes, you read that right), and his latest passion project is writing and speaking on the power of being present. Robert McLaughlin brings nearly three decades of experience at Chick-fil-A, where he leads with positivity as the head of their Support team, championing a drum-banging culture of recognition and continuous improvement.
In our conversation, we dig into what makes these brothers tick—their shared values, powerful family bonds, and personal journeys through both triumph and tragedy. We talk about leadership lessons from the sports field and the importance of investing in yourself so you can invest more in others. The McLaughlin brothers open up about their commitment to positive leadership and how they’re using their certification to pour into organizations, schools, and communities.
Give it a listen and get ready to bang the drum (you’ll see what I mean)!
About Robert,Robert McLaughlin serves as Executive Director of Support Now for Chick-fil-A, where he leads a 294-person team dedicated to supporting restaurant operators, team members, and customers nationwide. Since joining the company in 1998, he’s worn many hats—from Field Marketing Consultant to leading major sponsorships like the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl, to shaping national brand strategy and new restaurant marketing.
A graduate of UNC Chapel Hill with an MBA from Notre Dame, Robert brings both business acumen and heart to everything he does. Beyond the boardroom, he’s a three-time Ironman triathlete, motivational speaker, proud husband of his high school sweetheart, Holly, and devoted girl dad to two daughters. In this episode, he shares leadership insights, stories from his journey, and what it takes to lead with purpose at one of America’s most beloved brands.
About Pat,
Dr. Patrick (Pat) McLaughlin is a seasoned chiropractor, entrepreneur, author, and speaker on a mission to help people align their lives and become the best version of themselves. Since opening his first practice in 1991, he’s launched seven chiropractic offices and currently runs two successful practices in eastern North Carolina. But his passion for impact doesn’t stop there—he’s also built businesses with Great Clips, Duck Donuts, StayDry Med Centers, and Shape Med Centers, once owning 50 Great Clips salons and ranking among the top franchisees in North America.
A lifelong learner and avid reader, Pat is now focused on writing and speaking to empower others. He’s the author of The Bear Facts of Life and the upcoming The Power of Being Present, and serves as a guest lecturer for UNC Chapel Hill’s entrepreneurship program. In this episode, he shares practical wisdom on leadership, personal growth, and what it means to truly live in alignment.
Pat has been married to his wife, Maria, since 1995 and is a proud father of four. When he’s not coaching others, he’s likely spending time with his three dogs, on the golf course, or enjoying live music and sports.

In this episode, recorded live at the Champions Retreat in Iowa, I dive deep into the power of prayer. I share a personal journey from a life marked by negativity and disconnection to one filled with purpose, positivity, and a profound connection with God. Drawing from scripture and our real world experiences, I discuss the importance of staying connected to our Creator and how disconnection breeds feelings of isolation, anxiety, and depression. Through the story of a power outage that led to a revelation about God’s unyielding love, I explore how we can shift from a life governed by the flesh to one led by the Spirit. We’ll talk about how intentional prayer not only changes our thoughts but transforms our entire being. Join me as I unpack how to really tune your life into the higher frequency—one that leads to healing, power, and purpose. This isn't just theory; it's a way of life rooted in a daily commitment to prayer, surrender, and gratitude. Let's embark on this journey towards more meaningful connections and a life filled with spirit and power.

On this episode, I share how I began speaking to professional and college teams, starting with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2007 which led me to speak to the Atlanta Falcons in 2008 and countless teams and Training Camps since.
While visiting these Training Camps I learned a ton from the coaches. It was like a think tank where we shared and exchanged the best leadership, culture and team building strategies. I realized that not everyone can go to Training Camp and that’s why I decided to bring Training Camp to YOU.
I want to invite you to join me for a one of a kind intimate gathering of only 150 leaders where you’ll learn and interact with many of the best leaders in sports whose principles, strategies and lessons apply to leadership in every field and industry.

On this episode, I'm thrilled to bring you a deep and engaging conversation with a true baseball legend, Clint Hurdle. Clint's career in baseball is nothing short of spectacular, and his journey is filled with invaluable insights and wisdom that transcend the sport. From being a highly touted young player to managing teams to the World Series, Clint's experiences are a testament to resilience, leadership, and the power of relationships.
Clint and I have shared numerous conversations over the years, especially during spring training, where his "Hurdleisms"—gems of wisdom he naturally dispenses—became a hallmark. We dive into these Hurdleisms, exploring the wit and wisdom compiled in his new book, aptly titled "Hurdleisms: Wit and Wisdom from a Lifetime in Baseball."
In our conversation, Clint opens up about his journey from being a young kid with a dream to the pinnacle of professional baseball. We discuss the pressures of being labeled a phenom, the ups and downs of his playing career, and the transition to coaching and managing. Clint's story is not just about baseball; it's about life, perseverance, and overcoming personal challenges, including his battles with alcoholism.
But it doesn’t stop there. We talk about his approach to leadership, the importance of building a strong culture within a team, and how his faith and family have grounded him throughout his career. Clint shares candidly about his tenure with the Rockies, the joy of leading the Pittsburgh Pirates back to the playoffs after 20 consecutive losing seasons, and his current role in player development with the Rockies.
Whether you're a baseball fan or not, Clint Hurdle's story is one of genuine human interest and inspiration. Join us for a heartfelt and insightful episode where we explore the life of a man who, despite the myriad challenges, has always strived to be a beacon of positivity and guidance for those around him.
Don't miss this episode with the wise Clint Hurdle. You’re sure to walk away with a fresh perspective on leadership, life, and baseball!
About Clint,
Clint Hurdle is a former Major League Baseball outfielder and coach, most well-known for his time managing the Colorado Rockies and Pittsburgh Pirates. He led the Rockies to their first-ever National League pennant in 2007. After being hired by the Pirates in 2010, Hurdle guided them to their first winning season and playoff appearance in over two decades in 2013, when he was named the NL Manager of the Year. The Pirates also made the postseason in 2014 and 2015.
Hurdle was selected ninth overall in the 1975 MLB Draft by the Kansas City Rovals and played 515 games at the Major League level, including 109 starts for the AL pennant winners in 1980.
