Something Has to Change.
You Already Know It.
We know why you are here. You've been holding it together for a long time. For everyone. Underneath something is quietly starting to crack.
THE GRIND IS GRINDING YOU DOWN: Harder, longer, more - now this grind is producing friction instead of results.
THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE GET WHAT'S LEFT:
Your partner has said something. Your kids feel your lack of presence, too. You feel this lack of connection and you don't know how to fix it.
YOUR BODY IS KEEPING SCORE
Jaw clenched before you're out of bed. Tight Back. Sleep that doesn't restore. A short fuse that surprises even you.
KICKING THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD:
You keep saying you'll make changes tomorrow, and tomorrow never comes. Now is your chance to change

Your Instructors
Built by people who have done the work.
Jon Macaskill
coFounder / Trainer
Since retiring as a Navy SEAL Commander in 2020, Jon has been dedicated to spreading the practices of meditation and mindfulness to help others live happier and more fulfilling lives.
He's a Naval Academy graduate with a master's in Operations Research from the Naval Postgraduate School. Jon has served in Iraq, Afghanistan, off the coast of Somalia, and in Panama.
Jon brings mindfulness and focusing skills to high-performing teams to aid in dealing with stress, anxiety, and depression, all while increasing attention, creativity, and productivity.
As co-host of Men Talking Mindfulness — a Top 1.5% Global Podcast recognized by iHeart Radio — Jon is a husband, a father of three great kids, and lives in Colorado Springs, CO.
Will Schneider
coFounder / Trainer
Will brings over 19 years of experience teaching mindfulness, breathwork, yoga, meditation, and human optimization, proving that self-mastery is available to anyone willing to do the reps.
With a BS in Biology from King's College and a Stanford University Ambassador of Compassion, Will's approach is simple: train your mind like you train your body — no fancy words, no esoteric gatekeeping, just real repeatable skills that stick.
This approach earned him recognition as one of NYC's most sought-after teachers and shapes everything he delivers.
Part of Will's foundation and teachings are shaped by his deep meditation practice that he's been developing since 2007. He has been trained in TM (Transcendental Meditation) and has also completed multiple 10-day Vipassana Meditation Retreats in ‘noble silence.’
Will is also the co-host of the Men Talking Mindfulness Podcast and lives in New York City.

Here's What Happens When You Take This Course & Do the Work.
A2A delivers a specific, measurable skill set and a different relationship
to pressure, presence, and the people around you.
Sharper Focus
You Control Where
Your Attention Goes
You stop reacting to everything pulling at you. You start directing. Decisions sharpen. The noise drops.
Regulated
Nervous System
You Interrupt the Stress Cycle Before It Owns You
You learn to shift from reactive to composed, on demand, in the middle of real situations.
Real Presence
You Show Up Fully for the
People Who Matter
Your spouse, kids, and co-worker will finally get the version of you they have been waiting for.
Sustainable Practice
You Build Something That Lasts
A 12-module structured arc that will embed mindfulness as a skill and a lifestyle. You also have access to a community for the continuous support you'll need on this journey.
The Science Is Clear.
These four findings separate people who perform under
pressure from people who just survive it.
Your Breath Is Your Fastest Reset
A single deliberate exhale shifts your nervous system from reactive to sharp in under 15 seconds.
Always available.
You Grow Faster Together.
Research shows people who learn in community are 5x more likely to complete a program and apply what they learn.
Focus Requires Training
Focusing your mind is a trainable skill. That's the whole game. If you are not in charge of your mind then someone or something else will be.
The 23-Minute Hole
When your focus is stolen, just one interruption can costs you 23 minutes of time to get back to the same level of focus

FAQs
I'm already busy. What if I fall behind?
You can't fall behind — the course is yours for life. Come back to it after a hard week, pick up where you left off, or revisit a module when you need it.
Ideal scenario: to really create the change you're looking for by taking this course. We suggest you complete all the modules within the first 12-20 weeks. This will help to lay a solid foundation for you. As well as the confidence that comes with honoring your commitments.
This isn't a sprint. It's a lifelong practice you'll return to well after the 12 modules are done.
How much time does this take?
This course is self-paced, so you move at your own pace — no deadlines, no pressure. Each module takes about 30–45 minutes to complete.
The daily practice is just 5–15 minutes. Most people find that's less time than they spend scrolling on their phone before bed.
This course is fitness for your mind and your soul. Take yourself to the A2A gym every day or several times a week. The more you do, the stronger, more resilient, and more agile you'll become.
I've tried meditation apps and they didn't work. How is this different?
Apps give you a daily meditation with no arc, no progression, and no one checking in.
A2A is a 12-module structured curriculum —with video lessons, a workbook, guided meditations, a private community, and live calls with Jon and Will.
It's the difference between reading about fitness and actually having a training plan with a coach.
What is Circle.so
Circle.so is our private online community where A2A students connect, share, and support each other through the course.
WE ARE STRONGER TOGETHER!!
Think of it as a group chat and community forum built specifically for this course — no social media noise, no algorithm, no ads. Just real people doing the same work you're doing.
It lives on your phone or browser, takes about two minutes to set up, and you control how much or how little you engage.
You can lurk, listen, and learn — or jump in when you're ready.
Either way, knowing other souls are in this adventure with you changes everything.
"To go fast, go alone.
To go far, go together."
- Ancient proverb
Do I have to participate in the Circle.so community or group calls?
No. Everything is optional.
We strongly encourage you to participate in the Circle community and live calls as often as you can. Again, commit to this - it will change you!! You just need to keep showing up and put in the work.
Community and human connection have proven to be the most powerful vehicles for change!
What about posting in Circle ?? A lot of people who said they'd never post end up finding it one of the most valuable parts.
But if you want to keep it private and go solo, that's completely fine.
I'm not a "mindfulness person." Is this really for me?
That's exactly who this was built for.
The people who get the most out of A2A are the ones who would never have searched for a mindfulness course — they searched for how to stop overthinking, how to sleep better, or how to stop snapping at the people they love. The course meets you where you are, not where you think you're supposed to be.
Is this religious or spiritual?
Not at all.
This is a skill-based course grounded in neuroscience and psychology. The practices are secular, practical, and designed for people who would never describe themselves as "spiritual." If it works for Jon and Will, two regular guys, it will work for you.
Can I do this with my partner?
Yes, its a smart move!
The relationship modules, Mindful Communication and Mindfulness in Relationships — become shared language for couples who've been talking past each other for years.
Taking it together tends to accelerate everything and deepens the connection.
Is there a Refund policy?
