The Grateful Podcast with Jack Wagoner
Episode 107
Guesting Tristan Gregoire

Clarity isn’t found in a plan. It’s found in the process.

In this episode of The Grateful Podcast, I sit down with 24-year-old Tristan Gregoire, founder of The Best Self Protocol. Tristan went from being a chronic overthinker, stuck in endless vision boards and anxiety, to creating clarity, confidence, and real change.


We talk about how he broke the loop of consuming endless self-help without action, why small steps compound into transformation, and how imperfect action beats the perfect plan every time. Tristan shares the paradox of success — that gratitude and ambition can co-exist — and why your life depends on the story you tell yourself.


By the end, you’ll feel clearer, calmer, and more connected to your own path.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
