The Grateful Podcast with Jack Wagoner
You can be grateful for what you have and still strive for more. The duality of gratitude and success is a difficult concept to grasp, but understanding it is invaluable in both your success and well-being. On the Grateful Podcast, Jack and his guests explain how everyone has opportunities and choices to go after the life they want, and they owe it to themselves to do just that. You must recognize and be grateful for what you have in order to get the best out of yourself moving forward. There are conversations ranging from business to mental health and everything in between as well.

This solo episode is the most important thing I’ve ever recorded.

In 1978, researchers compared two groups you’d never expect: lottery winners and accident victims who had become paraplegic. The results shocked the world.
Within a year, both groups had returned to nearly the same level of happiness as before.
This is the science of hedonic adaptation — our brain’s tendency to normalize no matter what happens. Winning millions. Losing everything. We always come back...
Chad Sonkin lost everything — and somehow came out laughing. This conversation is alive with energy, truth, and the kind of wisdom you only earn through failure.
