    Building a Team, Life Updates, Better Humanness Reporting | 252

    Want to GROW your newsletter? Join mine to learn how it's done: https://better.biz/newsletter In this episode, I tackle a question I get all the time: 1099 vs W2 — which should you hire? I break down the real differences, share a story about two moving companies that taught me the lesson, and explain why the choice impacts your company culture more than your bank account. Then, for the first time, I share my own Better Humanness Reporting — what I'm reading, how I'm training, and my biggest wins personally and professionally this past week. This is a new style of episode, going a bit longer and behind the scenes. I'd love your feedback. 💡 Key Takeaways: 1099 contractors may save money in the short term, but they rarely build long-term culture. W2 employees allow you to invest in leadership, development, and a real "crew." Culture is built by consistent teams, not random contractors pieced together. Leadership after the first million in business is about succeeding through people. Better Humanness Reporting: training, reading, and wins help leaders connect at a deeper level. ⏱️ Chapters: 00:00 Intro & New Style of Episode 01:10 1099 vs W2 — The Real Question 03:00 The Moving Company Story (Contractors vs Crews) 06:20 Why W2 Employees Build Better Culture 09:00 Leadership Beyond a Million — Succeeding Through People 11:30 Introducing Better Humanness Reporting 12:15 My Training This Week 13:50 What I'm Reading Right Now 15:10 Personal & Professional Wins 16:30 Asking for Your Feedback Connect with me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jerred.moon/ My site: https://better.biz Get my book: https://bit.ly/killingcomfort #leadership #businessgrowth #companyculture #entrepreneurship #tryharder

    How Great Cultures Get Built (Or Destroyed) | 251

    Want to GROW your newsletter? Join mine to learn how it's done: https://better.biz/newsletter In this episode, I break down the biggest mistake young leaders make — avoiding confrontation. If you're scared to correct team members when they mess up or say something off, you're accidentally building a weak company culture. As a former military officer and entrepreneur for over a decade, I've seen over and over that leadership (not tactics) is what scales companies. Today, I'll show you how to make effective spot corrections, set real standards, and become the leader your team actually respects. 💡 Key Takeaways: Leadership — not more marketing tactics — is what ultimately scales a business. Culture grows by action or inaction. Avoiding tough talks builds a weak culture. Spot corrections should happen immediately — but with the right tone and setting. Use the "nuclear option" (public correction) only for extreme cases; otherwise, correct privately. Always explain the why behind your corrections to earn respect and drive real change. ⏱️ Chapters: 00:00 The #1 Mistake Young Leaders Make 01:00 Why Leadership — Not Tactics — Scales Companies 02:45 How Avoiding Confrontation Destroys Culture 04:30 When and How to Make Spot Corrections 06:30 The "Nuclear Option" (When Public Correction Is Necessary) 08:20 Why Explaining the WHY Builds Trust Connect with me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jerred.moon/ My site: https://better.biz Get my book: https://bit.ly/killingcomfort #leadership #companyculture #confrontation #management #tryharder

    what winners do differently | 250

    Want to GROW your newsletter? Join mine to learn how it's done: https://better.biz/newsletter In this episode, I unpack the powerful lesson behind doing hard things—through the incredible story of Admiral James Stockdale. Shot down over North Vietnam and held as a prisoner of war for seven years, Stockdale survived by practicing what later became known as the Stockdale Paradox: disciplined thinking, neither blind optimism nor crippling pessimism. His survival was shaped by one seemingly small decision—taking a philosophy class years earlier. You never know which hard thing you choose today will shape who you become tomorrow. 💡 Key Takeaways: Hard things prepare you for the unknown future—before the crisis comes. The Stockdale Paradox: face brutal facts while maintaining belief you'll prevail. Stoicism gave Stockdale the mental armor to endure years of captivity and torture. We all have "easy buttons," but choosing difficulty builds resilience and strength. Daily practice: ask yourself, "What hard thing will I do today?" ⏱️ Chapters: 00:00 Why Doing Hard Things Matters 01:35 The Story of Admiral James Stockdale 03:15 From Fighter Pilot to Philosophy Student 05:00 Shot Down & Captured Over North Vietnam 06:30 Surviving Seven Years of Captivity 08:00 The Stockdale Paradox Explained 09:40 Why Small, Hard Choices Shape Your Future 11:00 Daily Practice: Choose Hard Things Connect with me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jerred.moon/ My site: https://better.biz Get my book: https://bit.ly/killingcomfort #stoicism #mentalstrength #stockdaleparadox #dohardthings #tryharder

    Be Where Your Feet Are | 249

    Want to GROW your newsletter? Join mine to learn how it's done: https://better.biz/newsletter In this episode, I share my personal journey with resiliency—what it means to "be where your feet are," how to handle anxiety about the future, and why facing life's hardest moments one step at a time is the key to moving forward. I'll talk about my early entrepreneurial days, lessons learned from the military, and the powerful advice from my late best friend Talon that has carried me through some of life's hardest seasons. 💡 Key Takeaways: "Be where your feet are" — focus fully on the present moment, not on future unknowns. Only worry about the "closest alligator to the boat" — solve the problem right in front of you. Worry alone is useless; move from anxiety to action by making a plan. Entrepreneurship (and life) is a contact sport — expect challenges and prepare to respond. Resiliency is built through presence, planning, and executing one step at a time. ⏱️ Chapters: 00:00 Why Resiliency Matters for Entrepreneurs 01:20 My Journey Into Entrepreneurship & Self-Development 03:00 The Friendship That Shaped My Perspective 05:00 "Be Where Your Feet Are" — Talon's Powerful Advice 07:10 Learning to Face Anxiety & Worry With Logic 09:05 The Closest Alligator to the Boat: How to Focus 10:40 Planning Your Way Through Uncertainty 11:50 Final Thoughts on Presence & Resiliency Connect with me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jerred.moon/ My site: https://better.biz Get my book: https://bit.ly/killingcomfort #resiliency #mentalstrength #entrepreneurship #bewhereyourfeetare #tryharder

    how to train for a sub 6 min mile | 248

    Want to GROW your newsletter? Join mine to learn how it's done: https://better.biz/newsletter In this episode, I break down how to run a sub-6 minute mile—even if you're not a "runner." This framework is built for the well-rounded athlete: strong in the gym, fast on the track, and still fitting training into a busy life. I've used this exact system to hit sub-6 consistently, and I've coached countless others to do the same, all without training for hours a day. 💡 Key Takeaways: You don't need marathon-level mileage—just smart, targeted conditioning. Use the three energy systems: Gain (short bursts), Pain (intense efforts), and Sustain (longer intervals). Interval training is the fastest way to improve mile time when you're limited on time. Consistency across intervals matters more than volume—stop when your performance drops. Combine this with bodyweight strength work (like my pull-up program) for a complete, efficient system. 📌 Example Protocols: Gain: 30s on, 90s off — start with 5 intervals, build up while maintaining consistency. Pain: 2m on, 4m off — very hard efforts, 5–10 intervals max. Sustain: 5m on, 5m off — 3–5 intervals at aerobic threshold or Zone 2. ⏱️ Chapters: 00:00 Who This Is For (Well-Rounded Athletes) 01:05 Why a Sub-6 Mile Matters 02:00 The Simplicity of Energy System Training 03:15 Gain Workouts (Explosiveness & Power) 04:30 Pain Workouts (The Hard Stuff No One Trains) 06:00 Sustain Workouts (Aerobic & Threshold) 07:25 Putting It All Together in a Week 08:20 Why Fitness Fuels Every Part of Life Connect with me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jerred.moon/ My site: https://better.biz Get my book: https://bit.ly/killingcomfort #sub6mile #intervaltraining #conditioning #wellroundedathlete #tryharder
