Episode 23: Don't Take a Backseat to Anybody. In this episode, Jon and Todd grab time with Joey Hauser, rookie with the Utah Jazz and brother of two-time PtP guest, Sam Hauser. Joey talks about growing up with Sam and how their driveway competitions and experience as three-sport athletes prepared them for life in Division 1 basketball and now the NBA. He reflects on his collegiate career, first playing with Sam at Marquette then transferring to Michigan State during Covid and playing for the legendary Tom Izzo. Joey discusses the ups and downs of his time at MSU and the impact that sports psychology had on his success. He also talks about being reunited with his former head coach at Marquette, Steve Wojciechowski, now a part of the Jazz organization. The guys also recant some of their favorite basketball memories, and, in the process, Joey favorably compares Jon's game to that of legendary Jazz point guard John Stockton and Todd feels old.

Episode 21: The Discharge Tent. Tate Hoeven is the co-host of the “Good Day for a Movie” podcast and the creator and host of “The Passion Project.” Tate’s career arc has centered around following his passions and setting concrete goals for himself. Hear about the “four pillars” Tate uses to structure his approach and how conquering your next peak can be more effective than reaching the summit. The guys also talk about the power of travel and hobbies to help “get off the treadmill” and ways they've recently pushed themselves outside their comfort zones. In the process, Jon reveals what it’s like to experience a silent retreat in the jungle for five days and Todd’s imagination runs wild with the details. https://open.spotify.com/episode/7pq070hht8CgrcAkMM43gH?si=ZprF_uM0ROWBViEQ52BHSQ

Jon is back in his hometown of Plover, WI and found this old note he wrote himself more than five years ago taped to the back of his bedroom door. Still holds true.

“Don’t think you need some great epiphany, result, or idea every day. Quit beating yourself up and enjoy the process of creating the life you desire.”

Unwinding can look different for everyone. A cup of coffee and a sunrise, a chat with friends, quiet time reading, a long walk, working out, getting lost in nature. Whatever it looks like in your life, make sure you’re making time for YOU!! Pour love into yourself, and enjoy the journey.
