The Grateful Podcast with Jack Wagoner
Episode 86

Support the show: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2302168/support
In this solo episode, I open up about what it’s really like to choose the long game at 18 years old—pursuing my podcast, building a climbing clothing brand, and saying no to a typical summer job.
I talk about comparison traps, jealousy, creative isolation, and how I’ve found freedom by building a life that looks different—and loving it anyway. I also share the daily habits that make me more productive (even if they look “unproductive”), and why prioritizing joy, nature, and self-reflection has made all the difference.
Whether you’re carving your own path, chasing something unconventional, or just trying to stay motivated—this one’s for you.
⚡ Plus, I share my personal challenge: hitting 100,000 podcast downloads before I start college at Northeastern on August 31st.
