My gift to you—The Good Authority Course is now free.

The latest from Jonathan Raymond—author, founder, surfer, girl-dad.

I wish I could say that the quality of leadership has improved over the 15 years I’ve been in this industry. But if you’ve been paying attention to the headlines lately, you know that's not the case. A recent New York Times article revealed that an overwhelming percentage of Americans are at their breaking point with stress—caught between personal and professional demands like never before. Whatever leadership is supposed to be doing, it’s not working.

This pressure makes it harder for everyone, leaders included. It makes doing the right thing in those critical moments feel almost impossible. Whether you’re at work, with family, or just trying to get through the day, it’s become a huge challenge to stay present, stay grounded, and focus on what matters.

The truth is, I think most leaders (and parents and anyone managing others) have never really been shown how to lead in a way that isn’t about ego, control, or reacting out of stress. And with all the noise out there, it's hard to separate the good advice from what just sounds good in theory.

That’s why I’ve decided to make the Good Authority Course available for free. No paywall, no email sign-up—just start when you’re ready, at your own pace.

Whether you’re leading a team at work, navigating parenthood, or working on building stronger boundaries and having more impactful conversations, you’ll get a lot out of this course. Because at the heart of Good Authority is one core belief: personal and professional growth are not separate things.

In these stressful times, it’s more important than ever to remember that. If you and I can focus on showing up a little better each day, things can get better—not just for us but for everyone around us.

My team has organized all 37 core video lessons and exercises in a simple, easy-to-use format on YouTube. You can get started here.
