What does it take to build one of the most respected teams in the NFL — and lead it with heart, grit, and humility?
This week on The Finding Mastery Podcast, Dr. Michael Gervais sits down with John Schneider, General Manager of the Seattle Seahawks, for a rare behind-the-scenes look at elite leadership in professional sports.
For over a decade, John has helped shape the Seahawks into one of the NFL’s most competitive and consistent franchises — leading through authenticity, values, and a deep commitment to excellence. He’s been to two Super Bowls, managed some of the league’s biggest moments, and done it all by staying grounded in who he is.
In this special episode recorded in Seattle, we explore:
- How John’s values were shaped by his upbringing in rural Wisconsin
- The work ethic and toughness instilled by his parents
- Why faith, humility, and clarity under pressure guide his decisions
- What it takes to lead through adversity — and build a high-trust culture
Whether you’re a fan of American football, leadership, or just want to learn how elite performers stay steady in the storm — this conversation is packed with insights you can apply in business, family, and life.
