Jovan Glasgow is the Founder and CEO of Glasgow International, a global coaching and leadership development brand focused on human transformation and organizational impact. From humble beginnings in the Caribbean to building a global coaching platform, his work centers on helping leaders unlock their true potential through authenticity, resilience, and introspection. In this conversation with host Sarah Nicastro, Jovan breaks down why the biggest competition you face isn’t external—but internal—and how releasing ego, overcoming fear, and challenging what you’ve normalized can unlock real, lasting transformation.

He explains:

▪️Why competing with others limits your growth—and how to focus on your true capacity

▪️How ego shows up as “looking good vs being good” in leadership

▪️Why fear doesn’t stop action—but stops boldness and authenticity

▪️The concept of “perception prison” and how it silently holds people back

▪️The two hidden blockers of performance: shame and unforgiveness

▪️Why releasing disappointment is a daily decision—not a feeling

▪️The 4-step practice to stay grounded and lead with an open heart

▪️How “normalize, rationalize, actualize” shapes your results and long-term success
