As a former lead solo pilot for the Blue Angels, John Foley knows how to inspire greatness, and the power of gratitude. His motto is Glad To Be Here. No matter what the circumstance be thankful. John joins us on the SuperAge podcast to discuss shifting our perspective to one of gratitude keeps us open to creative solutions in all situations, how we can strengthen our relationships through trust, and why we need to learn how to compartmentalize to increase our focus, and at the same how to then open one’s vision wide to take in all one’s feelings and perceptions.

During their demonstrations and in a synchronized formation, the Blue Angel planes get to about 500 MPH at only 18 inches apart from one another. There is no room for mistakes and trusting your teammates is imperative. Now, John is a top rated leadership keynote speaker who spreads the power of gratitude and shares how to be a high performer to his audiences. 

“You can be kind, you can be generous, and at the same time push the limits.” 

“I find trust is the key to high performance execution.” 

“I think that’s what’s really powerful in life. When you can have these verbal agreements that say “I’ll be there for you. I’ll do whatever it takes.” These are powerful commitments.”

“To be able to turn your mind off is just as important as it is to turn your mind on, especially when you want to rest, when you want to recover at night.”
