Jeb Stuart Johnston on Time, Relationships & Living a Life of Service

Author: Chris Liddle August 9, 2025 Duration: 1:04:07

This week on Chasing Common Ground, I’m joined by strength coach and nutritionist Jeb Stuart Johnston to explore how our perception of time, our relationships, and the ability to embrace discomfort shape the lives we live.

We discuss:

* How viewing time differently changes your choices

* Building relationships that last decades in fitness & business

* Overcoming addiction by fostering connection and purpose

* Asking better questions to spark real conversations

* Why rituals matter more than rigid rules

* Journaling to celebrate your wins and own your growth

If you’ve been reflecting on how to align your personal and professional life with your values, this conversation will give you a fresh perspective on what really matters.

Chasing Common Ground: Lifestyle Conversations with Chris Liddle is a space for thoughtful dialogue that lives between categories. Host Chris Liddle believes meaningful progress comes from connecting ideas across the usual boundaries of education, culture, and self-improvement. Each episode, whether a solo reflection or a conversation with a guest, is built on a simple, powerful question: where can we find shared understanding? This isn't about quick fixes or passive listening. It's a purpose-driven exploration of the habits, philosophies, and societal shifts that shape our daily lives. The aim is to uncover practical insights and nuanced perspectives that resonate, helping you move forward incrementally but intentionally. You'll hear discussions that feel like a good, meandering talk with a curious friend-one that leaves you with something to chew on, not just consume. The podcast deliberately avoids easy labels, weaving together threads from personal development, cultural commentary, and societal observation to examine what a considered life can look like. It’s an ongoing series for anyone tired of echo chambers and interested in the subtle art of building a better year, and a better self, through conversation. Tune in for a consistently engaging mix of voices and topics that all circle back to that essential chase for common ground.
