  • Worthy Wins: Finding Clarity & Success in What Matters Most with John Olinger

    Worthy Wins: Finding Clarity & Success in What Matters Most with John Olinger
    Apr 24 2026

    On this episode of The Jon Gordon Podcast, I sit down with John Olinger—author, consultant, and former Nike marketing leader—for an honest and insightful conversation about his new book, Worthy Wins.

    John's journey is shaped by both professional achievement and personal loss: from a decade with Nike working alongside elite athletes and the world's most advanced technology, to navigating the unexpected death of his father and the perspective-shifting realization that time is both scarce and uncertain. In our conversation, John shares the story behind Worthy Wins, the powerful concept of getting radically clear on what matters most, and why so many of us risk "winning" at the wrong things without ever realizing it.

    Together, we explore John's lessons from the corporate world—where clarity and alignment can mean the difference between organization-wide momentum and wasted effort—as well as his personal life, where the true measure of success lies in relationships and intentional living. John opens up about the tensions between accomplishment and connection, the influence of mentors like Kobe Bryant, and practical strategies for identifying your own worthy wins, whether leading a team or navigating your family.

    About John,

    John Olinger spent a decade as a Brand and Digital Marketing leader for Nike and Jordan Brand, including three years captaining Global Marketing for Kobe Bryant. He reached a career inflection point after the unexpected passing of his father and left Nike in 2022 to become a consultant, author, and speaker. His first book, Worthy Wins, came out in 2025 to help individuals and organizations win in the places that matter most. John was recently tapped to become the President of Unitus, a Christian footwear and apparel brand, started by NBA player Jonathan Isaac. John is married to his AMAZING wife, Erin, and they are raising three energetic boys in Florida.

  • Grant Udinski: Pursuing Excellence, Focusing on the Process and his Rise as an NFL Coach

    Grant Udinski: Pursuing Excellence, Focusing on the Process and his Rise as an NFL Coach
    Apr 10 2026
    On this episode of The Jon Gordon Podcast, I sit down with Grant Udinski, offensive coordinator for the Jacksonville Jaguars, for a candid and inspiring conversation about his unconventional journey from a multi-position college football player to coaching at the highest level in the NFL. Grant's path is a testament to relentless pursuit, adaptability, and the power of being obsessed with your craft—from early days playing every position on the field, to shifting between offensive and defensive coaching roles, to gratefully learning under renowned leaders like Matt Rhule and Kevin O'Connell. Grant shares the lessons forged in challenging seasons, the growth that came from embracing uncertainty, and how developing a holistic understanding of the game shaped him into the coach he is today. Together, we explore Grant's passion for process over results, the importance of building genuine relationships with players like Trevor Lawrence and Sam Darnold, and the impact of working alongside exceptional mentors. He opens up about the joys and sacrifices of his work ethic, the balance between obsession and fulfillment, and the fulfillment that comes from contribution to a winning culture. Whether you're a coach, an aspiring leader, or simply someone striving for excellence in any field, this episode offers authentic wisdom about loving the process, staying relentless in pursuit of your calling, and focusing on being a winner in the moment. Grant's story is a powerful reminder that your journey—and your growth—are every bit as meaningful as the destination. About Grant, Grant Udinski is helping shape a new era of Jacksonville Jaguars football. In his first season as offensive coordinator, he played a key role in building one of the most dynamic offenses in franchise history, guiding the team to record-breaking production and a high-powered, balanced attack. With the leadership of head coach Liam Coen and Grant's coaching, quarterback Trevor Lawrence took a major step forward, delivering a career-best season and emerging as one of the league's top playmakers. Udinski's influence extended across the entire offense, with multiple players reaching new career highs and the unit consistently performing among the NFL's best. Before arriving in Jacksonville, Udinski spent three seasons with the Minnesota Vikings, where he helped develop quarterbacks and contributed to a consistently productive offense. His work there included supporting standout seasons from veteran and young quarterbacks alike, showcasing his ability to elevate talent at every level. Still early in his NFL coaching career, Udinski has quickly earned a reputation as an innovative offensive mind and a strong developer of players. Now in Jacksonville, he's focused on continuing to build a winning culture and helping the Jaguars compete at the highest level.
