Welcome to Focus Now Training Substack and Newsletter (formerly Frogman Mindfulness)

We’re Jon Macaskill and Will Schneider—co-founders of Focus Now Training.

Jon is a retired Navy SEAL Commander, leadership consultant, keynote speaker, and author.

Will is a mindfulness teacher, facilitator, and performance coach who helps people build sustainable focus, presence, and resilience in demanding lives.

Between us, we’ve spent years working with leaders, teams, and organizations operating under real pressure. Different backgrounds. Same conclusion:

Performance, leadership, and wellbeing are inseparable.

The best leaders don’t just push harder.
They manage focus.
They reduce friction.
They take care of themselves and their people—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 insights on leadership, focus, communication, resilience, and human performance—drawn from elite teams, real training rooms, and everyday life where decisions actually matter.

No hype.
No guru talk.
Just tools that work.

What you’ll get here:

✅ Practical leadership principles you can actually apply
✅ Mindset and resilience strategies for stress, uncertainty, and pressure
✅ Insights from our trainings, workshops, and work with teams
✅ A weekly “Three Things” list—books, tools, and practices worth your time

This isn’t self-improvement content for its own sake.
It’s about showing up better—at work, at home, and when it counts.

If you’re responsible for leading people, making decisions, or performing under pressure… you’re in the right place.
