What if you’re chasing the wrong win?

In this episode, we sit down with John Olinger—former Nike exec, leadership coach, and author of Worthy Wins—to unpack what it means to succeed in the areas that matter most. From high-stakes marketing at Nike to the raw wake-up call of losing his father, John shares how redefining success radically reshaped his life.

We dive into his "worthy wins" framework, explore the tension between work and relationships, and talk practically about how to reverse-engineer your life toward what truly counts. Along the way, John offers deeply personal insights about marriage, fatherhood, spiritual formation, and a legendary Kobe Bryant lesson that mirrors the way of Jesus.

This episode is an invitation to name what matters—and live like it does.
