#414 Jevon Wooden: From the Military to Mindset Mastery — Part Two

From facing seven years in prison at 17 to leading soldiers in Afghanistan, Jevon Wooden’s story is more than a redemption arc—it’s about owning your power the moment you realize you’ve still got one. In Part Two, Jevon gets tactical. He breaks down the frameworks behind his coaching work—from redefining confidence, to managing emotional triggers, to the underrated power of setting non-negotiables. We talk inner dialogue, identity shifts, and what it means to actually “own your kingdom.” This isn’t just mindset—it’s method. And it’s built on real scars, not theory. Key Highlights of Our Interview: Confidence Isn’t Loud “Confidence isn’t ‘I know everything.’ It’s knowing you can figure it out.” Why true confidence starts with humility—not bravado. Triggers Are Teachers “If something sets you off, it’s pointing to a wound. Not the world.” How to decode your emotional responses instead of avoiding them. From Victim to Victor “You don’t need to wait for closure. You get to choose the story you tell yourself.” How Jevon reclaimed his narrative after being wrongfully accused. The ‘Own Your Kingdom’ Philosophy “Your kingdom is your mind, your energy, your space. Guard it like royalty.” What leadership looks like when it starts from within. When to Say No “If it doesn’t align with your purpose, it’s a distraction—no matter how good it sounds.” The power of non-negotiables in building a life by design. _____________________ Connect with us: Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Jevon Wooden   --Chief Change Officer-- Change Ambitiously.
