Jonathan Reynolds, Mindful Life Mindful Work — Building Businesses with Presence
Jonathan Reynolds is the founder of Mindful Life Mindful Work and a leadership coach who helps entrepreneurs align who they are with what they do. From a small town in Wisconsin to forming a C-corp in 2018, Jonathan has spent decades turning mindfulness from a personal practice into a practical operating system for leaders. His message resonates with founders who want sustainable growth, clearer decision-making, and businesses that reflect their values.
In this Clicks & Bricks conversation, Jonathan breaks down mindfulness without the woo—showing how being fully present improves strategy, sales, and culture. He argues that the “product” many of us are really selling is our perspective and presence, and that the market rewards clarity, conviction, and consistency.
Key Takeaways from the Episode:
Presence is strategic: Being grounded in the moment helps you “reasonably calculate” five–ten years out by learning from the last five–ten years.
You are the product: Align your unique value (perspective, service, or method) with real market need, then position it consistently at every touchpoint.
Sell with alignment, not pressure: When value and fit are clear, selling becomes a conversation—often your best clients come via the networks of people you talk to.
Price signals commitment: Service businesses struggling to close should consider raising fees to attract more committed clients and deliver better outcomes.
Start tiny, keep going: Build the “awareness muscle” with 1–2 minutes a day (or via yoga, nature walks, or martial arts). Continuity—not perfection—creates change.
