Thank you , Jon, for speaking to all ages and inspiring us.

I love everything I’ve read or listened to from John. He is great at breaking things down into small chucks to digest and put into practice. He’s done all the hard work in his research and lays it out in a beautiful product. It’s helped me in many many ways over the years. If you have not seen him on YouTube you should. His video trainings are great too.

I love Jon’s books…but this podcast is even better! Such encouraging ways to tackle your goals practically and with real life applications.

I’ve been listening to these episodes on my morning community and they set the tone for my entire day. I’m changing my soundtracks one podcast at a time!

To my shame, it’s taken me this long to write a review of this podcast (sorry, Jon!) I scrolled back and saw that it started in 2021! I don’t remember how I found it, but I’ve been listening since then. Jon, your book Soundtracks legit changed my life, and it’s in my Mount Rushmore of books! I recommend it constantly, send the audiobook link to people, and talk about the concepts. It was one of the little rocks to avalanche a shift in my life from crippling anxiety/depression and shriveled hope to now stepping into joy, perseverance, tenacity, gumption, and turning dreams into goals I’ve achieved or am about to. Dang, Jon, you’re like a fun uncle who cheers me on, and I’m so grateful you’ve put in the work for your books and this podcast!

I gain insight from every episode. And episode 214 Be Kind to Yourself hit me square in the forehead. And was exactly what I needed today. Jon has a way of bringing light to and reframing behaviors through practical and simple techniques. Read his books: Soundtracks, Finish, All It Takes is a Goal. Sign up for his courses. Keep listening to the podcasts. I guarantee they will challenge you and propel you towards your ideal life.

I was gifted Finish several years ago. I loved it and soon read Start and Soundtracks, and started listening to the podcast. I just finished the audio of All It Takes Is a Goal and I’m working through the print version now because it’s just so good. (Side note: those audio bonuses were super fun!) Again and again, Jon says exactly what I need to hear, but somehow in a way that makes so much sense and gets past the bouncer in my mind. Not many people can tell you the hard truth and cut through your excuses like butter AND have you laughing the whole time. I don’t think I’ve failed to find value in anything I’ve heard or read from Jon. I know when someone seems to love everything a person puts out it can seem like they’re obsessed, but honestly I think it’s just that Jon has a very well crafted process for his content. I’m sure some of that is also due to being a late bloomer; I am one of those too. You know how some people try to advise you about your struggle, but the way they speak tells you they have never actually experienced it? When I listen to Jon, I have no doubt that he knows what he’s talking about and that feeling of being understood makes all the difference. It’s truly a gift and I am so thankful that he shows up to share it with all of us. It’s changing me and it’s making a difference for my children too. Thank you, Jon!!

Keep up the good work Jon! I have gotten a lot of value from your work and I will be looking for the next episode!

Love Jon’s wisdom! Favorite episode so far: Family Goals!

This podcast is always fun to listen to, always actionable, always uplifting and inspiring. Jon Acuff is the best goal-oriented buddy to have in your life! Thank you Jon for all that you put out there.

Great podcast. Good content and fun/entertaining to listen to. Thank you Jon for all you do!

You exude love and fun and I so appreciate it. Thank you. Sending love to you Jon!

Jon Acuff has truly mastered the art of blending humor, intelligence, and practicality in his approach to goal-setting. His unique ideas are refreshing, offering a fun twist on how we think about and tackle our ambitions. Every episode of his podcast feels like a burst of energy—his wit and sharp insights keep me engaged from start to finish. I especially love starting my week with his new episodes on Monday during my walk, and throughout the rest of the week, diving into his past podcasts feels like uncovering a treasure trove of motivation and laughter. His ability to make personal development not only accessible but enjoyable is what makes his podcast such a standout!

What a timely show as my not so little gal is entering into her teen years. This is so relevant and already started putting into action some of the tips. I’ve finished the book “soundtracks” and downloaded “How Teens Win”. Can’t wait to listen to it.

I’m always trying to find podcasts that give me both information and practical ways to apply that information… this is one of the best podcasts I have found!

Jon, you are amazing to listen to just as you are! I love your style (and your podcast 😊), and your ideas are always well looked forward to! Keep sharing, we'll keep listening! 💫

This is my go-to podcast when I need a boost to keep me on track with my goals or even just a smile. Jon Acuff is entertaining and witting, as well as practical and concise. He won’t waste your time, but will give you practical advice that you can put to work immediately. I have been a big fan of his work for a long time and sincerely feel like his content just keeps getting better! This is a MUST for anyone looking to improve their ability to accomplish goals both big and small!

Jon is an inspiration to me and my kids! My 11 year old said I owed h a review because he is funny and provides great content. Thanks for the motivation every week! My kids and I are looking forward to your new book “How Teens Win”

I first heard John Acuff speak at The Boutique Summit. Honestly thought I wasn’t going to be a fan. 😂 He totally surprised me! One of my favorite podcasts and Bostonians (beside my best friend!) Thank you for the motivation!

Every episode creates real action that I can apply to my every day life. I have gone back to the beginning and started to listen to those episodes. Pure gold!

I love all your podcasts and I have read your soundtrack’s book. Episode 54 is fantastic! I am a pastor and a business owner and your content is fabulous, keep up the good work!

Jon and the ATG podcast are THE BEST! I discovered Jon a few years ago on an episode of Faith Driven Entrepreneur. That day I bought my first Jon Acuff book and have since read 4 more of his books. The ATG podcast is my go to outlet to kick off every Monday and get my mind set on crushing my weekly goals.

I've enjoyed every episode.

One of my go to podcasts. Easy to listen to with some great advice. And have you listened to his books, best audiobooks to listen to ever! Your great at reading your books!

Such a good podcast! The content is really good! His guests are well spoken have practical experience and just entertaining! A few other things that really make this a 5 star podcast, the length is perfect and the sound quality creates a wonderful listening experience. Those seem like technical details but they do make a difference! If you wan to laugh and learn this podcast is for you. Episode 60 with Jenny is by far my favorite so far!

Excellent podcast. I’m a big fan. Practical advice that can be implemented immediately surrounded with humor and inspiration. Start listening today!

I am a 13 year old who wants to start my side hustle, create a podcast, write a book, and be a healthy, productive person. Jon is so inspiring and helps motivate me in my slow days. Thank you so much!

Lots of people talking about goals… Jon simplifies it, after each show I’m invigorated and clear on what I will do next.

I discovered John a few years ago, but sadly, this is my first review. As a minister, I am never looking for things to do as leading a church, serving the people, and first and foremost leading my own family can easily take all of my time. All It Takes Is A Goal has been my constant companion, every chance I get. I rarely miss an episode and prepare to seize each day more and more as I am coached by John as he walks out his own journey of accomplishing his God-given purpose. Thank you, my friend, hope to meet you one day.

Jon, your recent podcast about wisdom hit me so close to the heart. I think I speak on behalf of all your listeners when I say that you treat us like friends, and we all wish we could be lucky enough to actually know you. But for an hour a week (or however long the episodes are) we get you all to ourselves! Thanks for being a friend from afar! Jon Whitman from Italy

Recently I was unexpectedly laid off after 25 years with the same company. I told friends that all those hours listening to John Acuff while dog walking are paying off! I feel motivated, encouraged, and excited to try something new. Corny, but the podcast has made me a stronger, more resilient person.

I listened to his Book, all it Takes is a goal. It’s a great book and his podcast is great! He gives small steps forward to help with your, you guessed it, goals.

I recently discovered Jon Acuff and I can’t get enough. His podcasts are helpful, FUNNY, fresh and interesting. It is the first goal oriented podcast I’ve heard that doesn’t feel like homework. Keep it up!

Jon Acuff has a way of making the impossible seem possible—with honest and true practical methods. He is an unapologetically “uncool,” imperfect Gen Xer dork, and we love him for it. Most people speaking into “self improvement” come across holier than thou—not Jon. He’s one of us, and he gets it.

The title might be a bit of a stretch, but in his book soundtracks, it uncovered that I had multiple soundtracks that needed retiring. I listen to that book multiple times a year to remind me the power of playing true, help, and kind soundtracks.

True story…I recently did something I was really proud of. That night I wrote a note to myself on my phone saying “I like who I am becoming, but am I too old to do this now?” THE NEXT DAY, I listened to an older episode of this podcast and when Jon read the review at the end, this very question came up. He actually said “I’m telling you, if you’re 55 or 56, it is not too late to reach your goals!” Well, I’m 55 and will be 56 in a couple of weeks. Message received Jon!

New York Times best selling author, multifaceted professional speaker, YouTube influencer, husband, dad, and dog lover, Jon Acuff knocks it out of the park every time he steps up to the plate.His books (available on Amazon and wherever books are sold) and podcasts alike shine a light in a world that can always use the voice of authentic storytellers who bare their souls with those whom are blessed enough to see.

Jon is the perfect blend of fun and practical. Love this podcast and the book is even better!

A must add to your weekly pod game!

WOW Jon is down to earth and has thoughts and ideas that are so helpful. So glad I stumbled upon this podcast.

The only podcast I take notes on.

Love the podcast! Keep up the great work and content!

Listened to your latest podcast about parenting and think we should totally start a neo-hardcore metal-trance band called Meatwad. Just envision our first album. 🤩 Meatwad in their debut album Vegetable Amnesty featuring such inspirational tracks like… Rebellious Mastication Children of the Cud These Shrooms Ain’t for You Can’t Stop the Rain Jump in The Puddle Oldman and the Pumpkin Patch North Georgia Rock and Roll Hollerin’ Alabama Smashing Matoes Down with the Technocracy Let me know if you’re interested. I’ll be the drummer.

I subscribe to a lot of podcasts, but this is one of the few that I am sure to listen to every week. There are always so many good nuggets to take action on and moments that make me laugh out loud; maybe it’s relating as a fellow Gen X-er who loves self-improvement, but mostly it’s wonderful to hear Jon’s clear mission to help people get out of the stuck zone and do great things!! Thanks for all you for put out there for us and looking forward to book number 10!!!

Jon provides encouraging, interesting, and fun ways to think about goals! I often have my teens listen to episodes with me. He is so practical and relatable.

Jon is actually a goal genius. Through utilizing his God-given potential, he’s become brilliant at identifying goal blockers as well as simple, clear, practical solutions for getting past them. Every episode leaves the listener with easily and immediately applicable, action steps. On top of that, he has the nerve to be insatiably entertaining 🙄😅. I binge-listen during my morning walks. So grateful that he chose to answer the call on his life! 🙏🏾

After listening to another podcast Jon Acuff was on, I binge-listened for hours. This is so much more than your typical self-help talk. It’s practical, easy, do-able steps…not just encouraging words. This is going to be life-changing as I implement all these little things to chase my God-given potential.

I don't remember how I came across your podcast but I'm so glad I did.... I’m LOVING IT! Love your knowledge, sense of humor and everything about this podcast. I purchased Soundtracks, can't wait to read it.

I’ve loved a couple of Jon’s books (love the laugh-out-loud moments!) and his podcast is even better. As a goal-oriented entrepreneur I find gems of wisdom in literally every episode but there’s so much goodness here for regular people without their own businesses too. I just love Jon’s wisdom, but his hilarious sense of humor and how real he is makes this a show that’s hard to beat.

First off my name is not Gary and I do not listen beside nor on a body of water, that being said this is one of the best ways your can spend you time each week. I’ve been listening to Jon for a decade now (in person) and within the past two years I’ve been listening to his podcast. I came to this podcast a few years ago after hitting a wall in my personal and professional life. The first episode I listened to was with Carey Nieuwhof about burnout. Spoke right into my soul and gave me words for what I was feeling and a way forward. Since then I’ve gone back and listened to every single episode, for a while I listened every day until I was caught up and now I find myself lamenting having to wait a week for the next episode. I have a note in my phone filled with over 200 new soundtracks. I’ve preordered “All It Takes is a Goal”. I’ve started a new side hustle and am constantly thinking about how I can be better for my family and the world we live in. It’s taken too long for me to review because my perfectionism kept getting in the way. Listen to Jon, what he brings has value and will not waste your time.
