What people are saying

The Positive Intelligence course with Jesse Tubb was a game changer. While I have had a meditation practice for several years, this program excels at carrying that awareness and intention throughout the day. The language used to describe thought and behavior patterns was fun and easy to apply to myself. The whole process was made simple and engaging through the well-designed smartphone app. Nevertheless, a great coach is key to this process. Jesse’s knowledge of this material and his kind curiosity created a fun and courageous space. In the weekly meetings, Jesse created an environment to laugh and to lean in toward challenges. I truly feel this process has brought a shift in my life. It has allowed me to move past some habitual narratives and patterns that have had a negative effect on how I show up in the world. Jesse and this program will definitely be a continuing resource as I move forward.

My experience working with Jesse during the Positive Intelligence program was very beneficial. Jesse provides excellent guidance throughout the program helping myself and my fellow pod members explore the edges of our experience. He was very skilled at making us feel comfortable with the practice and implementation of new and challenging concepts, and frequently acknowledged our efforts and encouraged us to work with whatever results we were able to obtain as the course unfolded.I decided to continue with Jesse as my mental fitness coach after I finished the program.

The PQ program has really taught me a lot about how my own mind works and how much we all sabotage our own success and happiness with consistent judgements and other forms of negative self-talk. The program includes an audio book version of the book along with other learning aids and tools that really help you learn the content and apply it to your everyday life. The app that goes along with the program is easy to use and is a great motivator to do your personal “work” each day. The ideas and techniques are simple, effective, and can make a profound difference in every aspect of you like. This program can benefit literally everyone!

Jesse is a skilled coach who knew just what I needed to explore next steps with my business. As a result of his coaching I designed two classes that aligned with my core values. They were less stressful and more fulfilling than what I did before and were very well received.

I am so glad I participated in the 6 week Positive Intelligence course. Jesse Tubb was an incredible Coach and Pod (small group) leader. I learned a way of perceiving how I process and receive information, and how to positively relate to the world around me. I enjoyed it so much, I am continuing with further courses. I highly recommend this to everyone that wants a positive, sage perspective on life.

Of all the books I've read on spirituality and living our best life I think this program definitely has more impact. The daily reminders and watching my PQ reps increase are keeping me more engaged and focused on what needs to be done. Working with Jesse as a PQ coach has been an enlightening and much needed experience. He keeps us engaged with his knowledge and deep understanding of this work. Throwing thought provoking questions our way keeps us on our toes!

While we have a great relationship with our son, we understand that there are some things that kids are reticent to discuss with their parents. Having a trusted Veteran like Jesse for our son to explore issues around accountability, leadership, and community building was a more than worthwhile investment in his growth and development.

Woke up beaming this morning. HUGE thank you for a wonderful, informative, fun, profoundly useful clinic yesterday. Not only were the tips and information exactly what I was hoping for, but the delivery was also fantastic! You're a great speaker—funny and poignant and never once boring—and my whole table agreed we could have listened to you talk all day. So grateful I got to take part!.

Working with Jesse has felt like getting the ultimate playbook for life. No matter the challenge, stakes, or variables- Jesse’s coaching has helped me see every obstacle as an opportunity to grow, empowering me to embody my most conscious self. His teaching created such an impact on me through the way he’s able to balance the immense amount of training and study he’s done combined with the extensive experience from his own journey within and (literally) across mountains. Before reaching out to Jesse I was afraid- worried I wouldn’t be worthy of being one of his students, but his compassionate guidance transcended my fears and catapulted me light years toward to my greatest potential.

I have to send you a huge thank you and upmost gratitude for your leadership through GRIT Adventures. Our introverted son isn't into typical team sports and this program is a great fit for him. This school year has been a struggle with his anxiety and learning differences. He hasn't had many wins this year and as parents we are working with therapists and tutors to help navigate his challenges. I have not seen him this chatty, happy and proud of him self in a long time. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! We all see the potential in our son but when he sees it for himself it's truly a special moment and gift.

This program has enhanced every area of my life, especially relationships with my family and coworkers.
Each week, we got together with Jesse on a Zoom call and talked through what we we learning, and how it applies to our lives. We shared our struggles, and worked as a group to help deal with difficulties in our daily lives, all guided and encouraged by Jesse. It’s helped make me a better father, husband, employee, AND a better adventure racer. Because when it comes down to it, adventure racing is all about the experience: getting out in nature, pushing yourself, working as a team, overcoming adversity and mistakes… all things that we have to deal with to some extent in our day to day lives. So, in the same way that we train our bodies to be strong and resilient, it’s equally important to train our minds. Because being mentally and physically strong enables us to do more, and to enjoy the experience rather than just suffering through it. I could go on and on about Jesse’s program, but I would encourage you the same way we encourage each other: just sign up, commit to do your best, and trust that if you study the map you’re given, it will lead you to some amazing places beyond what you could have imagined you’d achieve on your own
