It replaces anxiety with gratitude, frustration with perspective, and comparison with confidence.Through personal reflection and leadership insight, JP shows how embracing “the gain” helps leaders build resilience, momentum, and connection — especially in slow or uncertain seasons.Key takeaways:- Focus on progress, not perfection.- Measure growth backward, not forward.- Confidence is built by recognizing how far you’ve come, not how far you have to go.Listen now and start leading from a place of gratitude and growth — not comparison.

Whether it’s scrolling through LinkedIn and feeling behind, or stacking your current progress against where you thought you’d be, comparison can quietly drain your energy, focus, and joy. JP breaks down why comparison culture is stronger than ever, how it hijacks your mindset, and what to do to reframe it into something that drives growth instead of insecurity.

You’ll learn:

• Why comparison feels so natural — and why it’s so destructive

• How “gap vs. gain” thinking changes your mental game

• Why celebrating others’ wins actually increases your confidence

• The power of focusing on progress over pace
