    EP 704: Jenn Donahue - How the Warrior Rewires the Inner Imposter Syndrome

    Jenn Donahue is a warrior. On the battlefield, in business, and in the fight against self-doubt. A retired U.S. Navy Commodore, she commanded thousands of troops across multiple deployments, including overseeing the construction of a bridge across the Euphrates River during the Iraq War and leading an 800-person battalion in Afghanistan. We discuss 'Becoming the Warrior', her book on learning to overcome the internal roadblocks that impede our success and how we can harness inner strength, silence our self-doubt, and live with and/or silence our internal voices. After decades of commanding teams and making high-stakes decisions, she brings fascinating insights to this conversation.   LINKS   Jenn's website www.jenndonahue.com   Book on Amazon Becoming the Warrior: Harnessing Your Inner Strength to Silence Self-Doubt (2026)   The Mojo Sessions website www.themojosessions.com   The Mojo Sessions on Patreon www.patreon.com/TheMojoSessions Full transcripts of the show (plus time codes) are available on Patreon.   The Mojo Sessions on Facebook www.facebook.com/TheMojoSessions   Gary on LinkedIn www.linkedin.com/in/gary-bertwistle   Gary on Twitter : www.twitter.com/GaryBertwistle   The Mojo Sessions on Instagram www.instagram.com/themojosessions   If you like what you hear, we'd be grateful for a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

    Logan Gelbrich - Navigating Decision Points at the Intersections of Life

    We began this season inspired by Greek mythology's 12 Labours of Hercules, where he faced the crossroads and chose between the seductive comfort of Kakia and the modern path of Arate. Logan Gelbrich, author of 'Going Right, A Logical Justification for Chasing Your Dreams', owns Deuce Gym in LA—an exceptional group of gyms that promote leadership and higher standards of performance through strength training, strongman, wellness, performance, and group fitness. Going Right serves as a powerful metaphor for growth, setting higher standards, making a mark, and standing out as uncommon. It is a philosophical journey, providing a logical reason to chase our dreams in the season ahead.   LINKS   Logan at Deuce Gym www.deucegym.com   The Mojo Sessions website www.themojosessions.com   The Mojo Sessions on Patreon www.patreon.com/TheMojoSessions Full transcripts of the show (plus time codes) are available on Patreon.   The Mojo Sessions on Facebook www.facebook.com/TheMojoSessions   Gary on LinkedIn www.linkedin.com/in/gary-bertwistle   Gary on Twitter www.twitter.com/GaryBertwistle   The Mojo Sessions on Instagram www.instagram.com/themojosessions   If you like what you hear, we'd be grateful for a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. Happy listening!   © 2026 Gary Bertwistle.  All Rights Reserved.

    Mike McCastle - Going Beyond Preconceived Barriers - The 12 Labours

    The legendary Mike McCastle. Inspired by Greek mythology and the 12 labours of Hercules, Mike has achieved a world record by doing 5,804 pull-ups in a day, pulled a 5,000-pound truck across the Mojave Desert in summer, climbed a rope to the equivalent height of Mount Everest in a gym, broke a world record in an ice bath, and recently, the former US Navy SEAL pushed his body beyond every limit, covering more than 4 miles with walking lunges, breaking two world records in the process. We kick off season 7 with the Hercules theme, and as a way to help us realign and reset, this rewind with Mike is an opportunity to remind ourselves of his approach to life, recap his journey, and inspire you to tackle your own 12 labours in 2026.   LINKS   Mike McCastle on Instagram @mikemccastle   The Mojo Sessions website www.themojosessions.com   The Mojo Sessions on Patreon www.patreon.com/TheMojoSessions Full transcripts of the show (plus time codes) are available on Patreon.   The Mojo Sessions on Facebook www.facebook.com/TheMojoSessions   Gary on LinkedIn www.linkedin.com/in/gary-bertwistle   Gary on Twitter www.twitter.com/GaryBertwistle   The Mojo Sessions on Instagram www.instagram.com/themojosessions   If you like what you hear, we'd be grateful for a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. Happy listening!   © 2026 Gary Bertwistle.  All Rights Reserved.

    Dr. Paul Taylor is a psychophysiologist, host of the popular 'Hardiness' podcast, and the award-winning author of the book 'Death by Comfort'. Paul has also recently completed his PhD in applied psychology. In this conversation, we discuss his new book, 'The Hardiness Effect', and explore his research on how to boost our psychological and physiological hardiness and cognitive fitness. Paul is very evidence- and fact-based, blending academia with real-world experience, grounded in his background as a former Royal British Navy Air Crew Officer trained in anti-submarine warfare, helicopter search and rescue, and combat survival. His work also draws on the Stoics and many other great philosophers of the past.   LINKS   Paul's website www.paultaylor.biz   Book on Amazon The Hardiness Effect: Grow from Stress, Optimise Health, Live Longer   The Mojo Sessions website www.themojosessions.com   The Mojo Sessions on Patreon www.patreon.com/TheMojoSessions Full transcripts of the show (plus time codes) are available on Patreon.   The Mojo Sessions on Facebook www.facebook.com/TheMojoSessions   Gary on LinkedIn www.linkedin.com/in/gary-bertwistle   Gary on Twitter www.twitter.com/GaryBertwistle   The Mojo Sessions on Instagram www.instagram.com/themojosessions   If you like what you hear, we'd be grateful for a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. Happy listening!   © 2026 Gary Bertwistle.  All Rights Reserved.
