Summary
On this episode of The Jon Gordon Podcast, I’m joined by my good friend Antonio Neves for one of the most honest and powerful conversations we’ve had on the show. Antonio’s story is incredibly moving, he opens up about losing his home in the Pacific Palisades fires and how that one experience changed everything for his family. We talk openly about grief, resilience, and what it’s like to face some of life’s toughest moments and, most importantly, how to find hope and new beginnings on the other side.
Antonio shares how he and his family are rebuilding not just a home, but a sense of purpose and possibility and the lessons he’s learned while leading his young kids through adversity. We get into his new book, The One Day Method, and why focusing on one great day at a time can be an absolute game-changer, especially when life throws you a curveball.
This is a real conversation about overcoming, recommitting to what matters, and learning how to see the gift, even in pain. If you’re going through a challenging season, I promise this episode will encourage you and remind you that the best is yet to come.

| 0:39.1 | Antonio, how you doing? Hey, man, |
| 0:44.0 | it's good to be back. Good to see you again. Antonio, last time we saw each other, we were walking near Pacific Palisades. We would always take a walk in that Pacific Palisades Park by Santa Monica, |
| 0:50.2 | and we would connect and talk. And since that time, you unfortunately have lost your home in those fires of Pacific Palisades. |

| 1:28.4 | when it affects your kids. Yeah, as you know, we have eight-year-old twins. These kids will be |
| 1:31.6 | nine years old soon. And for these kids telling them that they're home, where they've known |
| 1:36.3 | pretty much their whole life, their belongings, the things they just cared about. This wasn't |
