What can a rude talking parrot teach us about leadership, growth, and wisdom?

In this week's Monday Mojo, Coach John Perry shares a hilarious story about a parrot whose bad attitude finally lands him in the freezer. After a brief moment of reflection—and a glance at the turkey beside him—the parrot emerges with a completely different perspective.

While the story will make you laugh, the lesson is serious. Too many people insist on learning every lesson the hard way. Wise people learn from the experiences of others. They pay attention to the consequences of poor decisions, the rewards of good choices, and the examples all around them.

In this episode you'll learn:

• Why wisdom often comes from observation

• How great leaders learn from the mistakes of others

• The importance of being coachable before adversity strikes

• Why humility accelerates growth

• How to avoid life's unnecessary "freezer moments"

The question isn't whether life is teaching lessons. The question is whether we're paying attention.

Never Stop Getting Better.

When storms roll across the Great Plains, cattle instinctively run away from them. The problem? They often end up spending more time in the storm.

Buffalo do the opposite.

They turn directly into the storm and charge through it, reducing the time they spend battling the wind, rain, and adversity.

In this week's Monday Mojo, we explore this powerful lesson and what it means for leadership, faith, and personal growth. Too often, we avoid difficult conversations, challenges, and decisions, only to discover they continue to follow us. Great leaders understand that the fastest path through most storms is straight through them.

Drawing on lessons from Scripture and leadership, this episode will challenge you to stop running from adversity and start facing it with courage, faith, and conviction.

The storm may be the very thing God is using to prepare you for what's next.

This week’s Monday Mojo is a special father-son conversation centered around courage, calling, and the pursuit of dreams.

Coach John Perry sits down with his son, J Perry, following J’s sophomore year at the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music (CCM), one of the premier musical theatre programs in the country. Together, they reflect on the journey of chasing big dreams, the sacrifices required to pursue excellence, and the importance of staying true to who you are along the way.

From growing up in Nixa, Missouri to performing on one of the nation’s top collegiate stages, J shares lessons about discipline, self-belief, handling pressure, and embracing the uncertainty that comes with pursuing a passion.

This episode is about more than musical theatre. It’s about having the courage to step into your purpose, trusting the process, and refusing to let fear keep you from becoming who you were created to be.

Whether you’re a student-athlete, artist, coach, parent, leader, or dreamer — this conversation will challenge you to keep chasing what’s possible.

J Perry is a sophomore BFA Musical Theatre student at the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music from Nixa, Missouri. He is currently pursuing his passion for performing at one of the nation’s most respected musical theatre conservatories.

At CCM, J most recently performed as Tobias in Sweeney Todd and served as a swing in HAIR. Known for his work ethic, humility, and passion for the arts, J continues to grow as both a performer and person while chasing his dream on the stage.

Growing up in a family centered around leadership, faith, and growth, J’s story is a reminder that dreams are worth pursuing — even when the road is challenging, uncertain, or uphill.

Justin’s story is one of resilience, redemption, and the life-changing power of caring adults. Growing up in a home marked by addiction, instability, and foster care, Justin carried an ACE score of 9 out of 10. Statistically, the odds were stacked against him. But teachers, coaches, and mentors stepped in and helped him believe that his story did not have to end where it started.

That belief changed everything.

Justin became a first-generation college graduate, earned two master’s degrees, and built a career as an award-winning educator and speaker dedicated to helping students and teachers rediscover purpose and hope.

In this powerful conversation, Justin and Coach Perry discuss:

Breaking cycles and overcoming adversity

The lasting impact of coaches and teachers

Teacher burnout vs. human burnout

Why connection matters more than content

Career vs. calling

Faith, resilience, and purpose

The ripple effect of leadership

This episode is a reminder that one caring adult can completely change the trajectory of a young person’s life.

If you are a coach, teacher, parent, leader, or someone trying to make a difference—this conversation will encourage and challenge you.
