Welcome to our Substack and newsletter (formerly Frogman Mindfulness).
We’re Jon Macaskill and Will Schneider, co-founders of Focus Now Training.
Jon’s a retired Navy SEAL Commander, leadership consultant, keynote speaker, and author. Will’s a mindfulness teacher, facilitator, and performance coach who helps people build focus, presence, and resilience that hold up in a demanding life.
Between us we’ve spent years working with leaders, teams, and organizations operating under real pressure. We came at it from different worlds and landed in the same place: performance, leadership, and wellbeing are inseparable.
The best leaders we know manage their focus, clear the friction out of the way, and take care of themselves and their people. They do it on purpose, because clarity and trust don’t survive chaos on their own.
That’s why this Substack exists.
This is where we share practical, no-fluff thinking on leadership, focus, communication, resilience, and human performance. It comes straight from elite teams, real training rooms, and the everyday moments where your decisions actually matter. Honest tools that work, and we keep the guru talk out of it.
What you’ll get here:
Leadership principles you can actually put to use
Mindset and resilience strategies for stress, uncertainty, and pressure
Lessons pulled from our trainings, workshops, and work with teams
A weekly “Three Things” list: books, tools, and practices worth your time
This is about showing up better. At work, at home, and when it counts.
So if you lead people, make the calls, or perform under pressure, you’re in the right place.
Subscribe, and let’s get to work.
