Recalibrate your mindset to move from passenger to pilot of your own life by breaking free from fear and reengaging with what’s possible.

Every Blue Angels debrief—after every flight, no matter how hard the day—ends with the same four words: “Glad To Be Here.” Not because everything went perfectly, but because they choose to embrace gratitude each and every day.

You can make the same choice. Excellence and joy aren’t competing. They multiply each other.

In The Glad To Be Here Mindset, Blue Angels lead solo pilot, Stanford Sloan Fellow, and one of the top-ten most in-demand keynote speakers in the world, John “GUCCI” Foley challenges readers to fulfill their highest potential.

Inside, you’ll get the real stories behind how John forged the mindset lessons he shares. Flying MiG escorts into Moscow at the end of the Cold War. Needing to improve 300% in his first three months just to keep up with the Blue Angels team. On an icy cliff in France, thousands of feet above the ground with a storm rolling in and his only safety instructions being, “First rule of climbing—don’t fall.” These aren’t motivational filler stories. They’re the crucible where these valuable lessons were forged.

You’ll learn John’s three-step Mindset Reset and learn how he implements it daily. In his morning routine. His visualization practice. His debrief framework for team performance. His resilience tools for the days when the mission doesn’t go as planned.

The Glad To Be Here Mindset is your flight plan—practical, tested, and built for real life—to finally actualize your potential.
