The Jason Wright Show

Monday Morning Mentor: 10 Parenting “Don’ts” for Raising Well-Adjusted Kids In this Monday Morning Mentor episode, Jason Wright reflects on parenting his daughters Ryland (26, newly married) and Abby, sharing a list of “not to do” parenting lessons shaped partly by his own experience with conditional love growing up. He advises parents not to make love conditional, not to guilt-trip kids about costs or sacrifices, and not to praise intelligence over effort to avoid a fixed mindset (citing Carol Dweck’s work). He warns against spoiling children and recommends teaching delayed gratification through goals or matching contributions. Other “don’ts” include letting ki...

A Plea to Get Smarter: Brain Fitness, Reading, and Escaping the Attention Economy Jason Wright asks listeners to intentionally “get smarter” by strengthening their ability to reason, focus, and tolerate boredom, arguing society is regressing in communication and thinking and that this correlates with widening wealth gaps. He warns that “free” digital services (Pluto TV, Gmail, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook) make users the product by monetizing attention, and encourages replacing doom-scrolling with reading and other “brain fitness” habits. Citing books and thinkers like Greg McKeown (Essentialism), Arthur Brooks (The Meaning of Your Life), and Cal Newport (Deep Work, Big Questions), he frames re...

After his daughter’s wedding, Jason shares advice from the Bible studies they held leading up to it: to maintain a happy marriage, treat your spouse as though they already are the man or woman of your dreams, because people tend to live up to how they are treated. He extends this idea to all relationships and to personal growth through identity-based habits—acting like the healthier, smarter, or more successful version of yourself makes it more likely you’ll become that person. Jason describes how he cherishes his wife, Jim Lynn, with daily affection and small acts like making...

Never Complain, Never Explain

Jason reflects on the quote “never complain, never explain,” which he heard from Robert Greene and believes is attributed to a former British Prime Minister, and describes how he researched it and recognized his own habits of complaining and explaining. He argues that complaining is exhausting, people don’t care to hear it, and it can enlarge problems by reinforcing a negative mindset, noting a perceived correlation between frequent complaints and more aches and pains. He also commits to stopping unnecessary explanations about his unconventional, project-based work and podcasting, emphasizing he doesn’t owe anyo...

JB Glossinger on Reducing Cognitive Load, Saying No, and Building Systems for Consistent High Performance Jason Wright interviews performance coach and MorningCoach founder JB Glossinger about building systems to reduce cognitive load and decision fatigue for entrepreneurs facing information overload.

He emphasizes simplifying, using data for business decisions, and prioritizing lifestyle choices, including learning to say “no,” even to a potential $100M corporate deal, to protect his desired...

Monday Morning Mentor: Never Drink at Work Events Jason Wright introduces a new “Monday Morning Mentor” segment on the Jason Wright Show and shares a core lesson: never drink at work events. He recounts being 23 at his first convention, drinking free alcohol, and then driving colleagues—including a vice president—while intoxicated, followed by intense next-day regret and anxiety. He describes repeatedly replaying conversations after professional outings, the peer pressure and judgment non-drinkers can face, and an embarrassing incident getting sick in a vice president’s hotel room. Wright explains that setting personal rules (e.g., no weeknight drinks, no work-ev...

How to Say No: Setting Boundaries and Building Equity in Your Yes

Jason Wright discusses the difficulty of saying “no,” especially at work, citing Anne Lamott’s line that “No is a complete sentence” and describing fears of losing value or appearing insubordinate. He shares his own progress away from reflexively agreeing and recounts refusing a stressful favor requested by his wife on behalf of a friend, which ultimately helped his wife recognize her own “yes” habit. Jason argues that “no” can earn respect by signaling you value your time and worth, but it’s easier with credibility. He advi...

Tony Cooper on Intentional Fatherhood, Ownership, and the Traditions That Shape a Family Jason Wright interviews executive coach Tony Cooper, host of The Dad Manual podcast, about the joy and challenges of fatherhood and how dads can be more intentional.

Russ Morgan on Infinite Banking and Building Passive Income Without Wall Street Jason Wright welcomes Russ Morgan of “Wealth Without Wall Street” to discuss building wealth through passive income and entrepreneurship rather than traditional Wall Street approaches. Russ shares his background as a certified financial planner during the 2008 crisis and how meeting Nelson Nash led him to the “infinite banking” concept: storing capital in properly designed whole life insurance cash value, borrowing against it without traditional loan structure, deploying funds into cash-flowing assets or debt payoff, and recycling cash flow back to rebuild the capital base.

Bitcoin Mining 101 with Beau Turner (Abundant Mines): Energy, Money, and Passive Crypto Infrastructure Jason Wright welcomes Beau Turner, founder and CEO of Abundant Mines, for a “Bitcoin 101” conversation aimed at listeners who don’t yet understand crypto.

They discuss entrepreneurship, defining abundance as “fulfillment of purpose,” and the responsibility that comes with sovereignty. Beau explains w...

So Good They Can’t Ignore You: Valuing Time Over Money

Jason Wright discusses the idea from the book “So Good They Can’t Ignore You,” attributed to Cal Newport and a quote from Steve Martin, arguing that true leverage comes from becoming so skilled you can dictate terms. He illustrates this with Steve Jobs hiring designer Paul Rand for the NeXT logo after Rand refused to provide multiple options, insisting he would deliver one solution for a fee regardless of use. Wright parallels this with his father’s homebuilding practice of refusing to bid and instead naming a f...

Unforgettable Dad Move: Choosing What’s Essential

Jason Wright shares a favorite fatherhood story from Greg McKeown’s book "Essentialism" and reflects on being a proud dad to his daughters, Ryland and Abby, valuing that above career success or titles.

He recounts Cynthia’s planned father-daughter night in San Francisco that was nearly derailed when her father ran into a colleague who invited them to a seafood dinner, but her dad—Stephen...
