Summary

Episode Description: AJ and Johnny sit down with Jon Rosemberg to unpack how to break free from survival mode and start thriving in your work, relationships, and mindset. They explore how chronic stress, fear, and comparison keep us stuck in scarcity — and how awareness and reframing can open new paths to fulfillment. Jon introduces his AIR framework (Awareness, Inquiry, Reframing), showing how to calm the nervous system, challenge limiting beliefs, and reconnect with purpose. They also discuss emotional intelligence, vulnerability in leadership, and how success and thriving aren’t the same thing. This episode is for anyone ready to overcome burnout, regain agency, and create a life that feels meaningful — not just manageable.

0:00.0	You know why you're tired all the time? It's not your workload. It's the open loops your brain is
0:05.2	silently juggling. The phone call you need to make, the email you never answered, or that chair
0:10.7	you need to fix. Your mind tries to track all of it constantly, and those invisible micro-stresses
0:16.6	drain you. That's why I use stuff. It's a to-do list app that lets you brained up everything in your mind and clear those
0:23.2	open loops instantly.
0:24.9	Then you organize it all.
0:25.9	They handle it the ideal moment.
0:27.9	I love to add tasks by typing, talking, or even using my camera.
0:32.3	Stuff is built to intake information quickly in whatever form you think in and turn it into
0:37.1	actionable tasks right away.
0:39.1	Lists and stuff are built like completable projects. So that book you want to write, that business
0:43.5	you want to start, or that trip you want to plan starts to take form inside stuff, step by step.
0:49.3	The magic is it gets exponentially more powerful, the more you feed into it. Download stuff today, start brain

1:22.9	and start closing your open loops. Download stuff from the App Store today. The tension between authenticity
1:30.2	and belonging is one that most of us experience. We spend all this time getting to know ourselves,
1:35.8	and then we move in circles or spaces where that is not accepted. It's okay to sacrifice
1:41.2	authenticity sometimes in order to belong. If there's awareness attached to that sacrifice, then it's intentional and it's agentic. If you're just doing it without even considering it or without even thinking about it, it can be really, really painful because you end up contorting yourself to belong. And that's not very helpful.
2:12.4	All right, let's kick off today's show. Today we're talking with John Rosenberg,
2:16.8	the author of A Guide to Thriving, who's here to help you recognize the hidden cost of living in survival mode.
