JOHN FOLEY

GLAD TO BE HERE

“A spirit of gratitude fills our world with potential and possibility.”

It’s not often you get to sit down with someone who has accomplished so many things in their life yet operates with a tremendous amount of humility. But, that’s exactly our guest this week.

John Foley is a former lead solo pilot of the Blue Angels, Sloan Fellow at Stanford’s Graduate School of Business, entrepreneur, venture capitalist, leadership expert, speaker, and Gratitude Guru. As a thought leader on high performance, John created the “Glad To Be Here” Mindset Methodology and the Diamond Performance Framework.

One of the most in-demand leadership and performance experts, John has spoken on 5 continents, 20 countries, and at over 1,500 events working with some of the world’s top organizations such as Google, Mercedes-Benz, and Marriott.

As the founder of the Glad To Be Here Foundation, he and his wife Carol have donated over 1.9 million dollars to 347 charities worldwide and sponsor children in 49 countries.

“Glad To Be Here is a mindset that fosters gratitude and a new perspective to recognize opportunities versus simply focusing on challenges.” – John Foley
