Follow the show: On Purpose with Jay Shetty For decades, we’ve been told that success and spirituality live in separate worlds. One is about achievement, the other about inner peace. In this conversation, John Mackey shares why he believes the two are deeply connected. Reflecting on the journey of building Whole Foods Market, he explores how purpose, intuition, gratitude, and conscious leadership shaped both his business and his life. From navigating near-failure and selling the company to Amazon, to redefining success beyond money and status, this episode is a powerful invitation to lead with more awareness, build with more heart, and create a life that feels as meaningful on the inside as it looks on the outside. In this episode you'll learn: How to Build a Business With Purpose How to Turn Setbacks Into Growth How to Find Joy in Your Work How to Turn Envy Into Learning How to Create a Culture People Never Want to Leave How to Make Difficult Decisions With Compassion How to Stay Connected to What Matters Most There will be setbacks, doubts, and moments when things don’t go according to plan, but those moments don’t define your journey. What matters is continuing to move forward with purpose, staying connected to what brings you joy, and remembering that success means little if it costs you who you are. John’s book, The Whole Story: Adventures in Love, Life, and Capitalism, talks about why Whole Foods isn’t just a business success story, it’s the story of a retail, cultural, and dietary revolution that has forever changed the industry and the way we eat.

    “In the Summertime” by Mungo Jerry (f/ Danny Tamberelli)

    Of course you know all about Beatlemania, but did you know about Mungomania? You probably think that’s some sort of joke, but it’s not…Mungomania was a real thing. Off the back of the hype from ONE good festival performance in 1970, Mungo Jerry’s “In the Summertime” went on to become one of the top-selling singles of all time, topping the charts in 20 countries. This week, we’re joined by actor and musician Danny Tamberelli to discuss muttonchops, washboards, jug-blowing, drinking and driving, and all the reasons we don’t know MORE songs from Mungo Jerry.

    Belvedere Bros S1E3: Gotta Dance

    Originally released on March 29th, 1985, the third episode of Mr. Belvedere finds Wesley taking an interest in ballet (much to George’s chagrin.) Though the family tries to keep Wesley’s lessons a secret from George, the cat is soon let out of the bag when he finds Wesley’s slippers. Can George handle his son’s pirouettes and pliés? This week, we explore this classic episode in which the family’s patriarch is forced to grow beyond his outdated ideas of what makes a man.  One Hit Thunder (and also Belvedere Bros) is brought to you by DistroKid, the ultimate partner for taking your music to the next level.

    “Mickey” by Toni Basil (f/ Pj Caruso)

    In late 1982, Toni Basil took a break as one of the most accomplished choreographers and dancers on the planet to, ya know…have a #1 smash hit single. Rising above everyone from Lionel Richel to Michael Jackson to Paul McCartney to Marvin Gaye, the almost 40 year old Toni subverted all expectations of a female pop star to grab the top spot. The song and music video are now permanently affixed to our brains, and she’ll continue to be a part of one hit wonder discussions for decades to come. This week, we’re joined by drummer and friend Pj Caruso to discuss a song that took us WAY too long to feature, and we’ll decide if Toni Basil really DID blow our minds.

    Belvedere Bros S1E2: The Outcasts

    In the second ever episode of Mr. Belvedere (which was originally released on March 22nd, 1985), Wesley feels like an outcast when he isn’t invited to his friend Howie’s party. Mr. Belvedere comes to the rescue, suggesting that Wesley instead throw a party of his own. This week, we get into how young Wesley handles the situation, whether or not the alternative party was a good idea, and if George is in fact striking his children.  One Hit Thunder (and also Belvedere Bros) is brought to you by DistroKid, the ultimate partner for taking your music to the next level.

    “Everything You Want” by Vertical Horizon

    In the summer of 2000, Vertical Horizon seemed to be EXACTLY what the US wanted. The heartfelt and longing sounds of the single “Everything You Want” skyrocketed the band to #1, and the song went on to become one of the biggest songs of the year. For a band who had paid their dues and started their career with a very DIY approach, their mainstream success was maybe cut shorter than it could’ve been by the age old story of major label mismanagement. This week, we dive into the story and music of Vertical Horizon to find out if their catalog is everything we want.
