This man is a great writer and a terrible interviewer. He ping pongs all over the place, asks inane questions not about the topic at hand, and generally I felt sorry for his guest.

I connected with Lon two years ago. Little did I know how this man, and his vision, would change my life. If you are in the fence about where your next chapter should take you, you are not alone. Tune in. Listen to these podcasts. Snag a copy of The Trade. Share with your spouse. Be open to the unknown. Listen to that feeling in your gut. Lon, thank you for putting this out there.

Normal 40.1 I listen to Stimulus, Rob Orman~ so much inspiration.💙 I heard you Lon. More inspiration. I listened to your podcast about your daughter. 🤍 I heard you today Austin Moore. You spoke to ME.🙏🏻 The goal of touching lives has been attained. I’m simply ONE person who pulled off the road so I could write this review. Imagine how many others there are☀️

When I discovered Lon’s content, I came with curiosity as I was contemplating a change. I had no idea that the Normal 40 movement was going to reflect back at me the exact challenges I was working through. Questioning my professional career and a potential change, the fear associated with the unknown and the awkward conversation that was waiting to set it all off. This community will give you whatever you need and take from it. But you have to take it. Start by listening to the pod.

Great podcast! Incredible interviews with people who share very moving stories. Each episode inspires me to think deeply about my passion and purpose.

I listened to my first Normal 40, when you talked with Ron W. He is a good friend and I really wanted to hear him talk about what he is going thru and what he knows he’s going to do when he gets done. Very proud of Ron and what he is doing. Lon & Adam do a great job of making the guest think and the listener think about their own journey. You have a new listener and follower. Thank you.

The topics that Lon covers are ones that every age of Dude should hear about and talk about with other Dudes. For so many years these topics have been taboo and now they’re out in the open. It’s great stuff!

I have listened to every one of Lon’s podcasts. Each one of his messages resounds with me on so many levels. If you are looking for somebody to listen to that speaks from the heart, truly has a servant leader’s heart , and is making a difference each and every day in people’s lives, this is the podcast to listen to. Lon, thank you for what you are doing. Keep up the great work and spreading the message. I look forward to the day when you and I take a ramble!!

The podcast - and ALL of Lon’s content - is truly remarkable. It has a way to be an echo of your inner voice that’s incredibly on point and will make you feel like someone is really listening to you (while you are the one listening…!). Highly recommended to help you on your quest to sharpen your path and clarity towards fulfillment. Thank you Lon.

Lon is the real deal. If you take what he says to heart, you can’t help but come out better on the other side. Give it a listen and put what he says into practice. And go on a ramble with him too. You won’t regret it :)

Lon is definitely a dude to follow; better yet, find a way to get a call with him on your calendar. You’ll thank two people when you get done with your ramble with Lon - him, and more importantly, yourself. I’ve known him for a long time and even though there are hundreds of miles that separate us now, he’s as genuine and sincere IRL as he is on the podcast. Thank you for sliding into my LinkedIn feed and for continuing to turn the pages on the Normal40.

The first post I ran across from Lon on LinkedIn stopped me in my tracks. “Who is this guy, and how is he spying on my thoughts?!” From there, I made my way to the podcast. I haven’t listened to any (meaning, zero) podcasts since 2019 because I got weary of the digital opinion-of-the-day. But this one so far is worth breaking the podcast-fast. Give it a listen—you might hear your unspoken thoughts and find some oxygen you didn’t know you were missing.

After listening to “The Anniversary” podcast today, just wanted to share how powerfully that resonated when Lon described college drop-off day. Hearing that “chapter” of life coming to a close, and the undercurrent of the next stage, hit home. Having now a 14 year-old, knowing that day for me is right around the corner. Taking time and recognizing moments is one of several themes which emerge in Normal 40. Thank you Lon, for keeping your glass “half-full,” an area where I struggle. This mindset requires just a subtle shift of perspective, but can be transformative! Keep on, keepin’ on!!

I started down the Normal40 highway reading the online content of encouragement, support, and wisdom and now the podcasts are yet another valuable resource for those of us who are navigating this process. Lon and Normal40 aren’t only giving us a dude in our corner but these podcasts are bringing tools and knowledge to back it up! I’m plugged in and traveling this highway with Normal40….keep ‘em coming dude!

Great stuff … I laughed out loud when he described “the spreadsheet” … I have that exact one ! Great content to consider “what’s next” … I’m at the beginning of making “the trade” and this podcast has been spot on about so much …

I sat down this morning to listen to this podcast at a time where my phone normally rings off the hook. Figured I would answer the calls as they came and then get back to the podcast. Well, two minutes in and my attention was captured. The phone calls went to voicemail and the texts piled up until the episode ended. I normally have OCD when it comes to calls and texts, but there they sat until the podcast was over. If you’re serious about taking some time out of your busy schedule for self care, this podcast is a must listen. Thank you Lon and Adam!

This series of podcasts, normal40 site and LinkedIn chats, groups have truly covered what I feel and working towards. The titles of these podcasts are spot on and the discussions are like I’m part of it. Highly suggest anyone that hasn’t connected with Lon to do so! You won’t regret it.

Full disclosure: I’ve known Lon for about 10 years. Him and I have never discussed the topics that he lays out so well in the 2.5hrs of podcasts he has posted so far. If he’s anything like me (and it sounds like he is), he probably wishes we would’ve had the courage to crack this open a long time ago. This is something that every leader (and those aspiring to be) needs to listen to and take to heart. As he mentions, this isn’t something that you want to wait years to learn the hard way.

This dude is in my head! A great podcast that speaks to middle-aged, high-achievers that are looking to answer some tough riddles about themselves. It is so nice to know that there are a lot of other people experiencing everything you’re covering. Keep going, Lon! If you like this - he’s got a lot more on LinkedIn.

The N40 podcast is my favorite, and I look forward to every episode. Lon is leading a movement and helping people positively transform their lives. His mix of empathy, candor, and straight talk is unique and refreshing. He’s definitely “a dude in your corner.”

I really enjoyed hearing more about your story and your mission to help us men figure out what we want.

Lon provides great content I haven’t found anywhere else. Can’t wait for more.

I found Lon by happenstance on LinkedIn and have been following him for 2 months. Lon’s posts & interaction on LI have been fuel to pursue my ideas & passion and has helped me on the path I’m following to realize my passions. His content helps me keep going each time I feel like I’m stuck. I’m so glad to see this additional format to get more of his content and guidance!

Excellent kick off, Lon! I am looking forward to more.
