Turn Disruption Into Opportunity: Jonathan Fields on Building Antifragile Brands

What does it take for brands and teams to turn uncertainty into a competitive advantage?

In this episode of Adspeak by ADWEEK, host Alison Weissbrot, Executive Editor at ADWEEK, sits down with Jonathan Fields, Founder, Co-Executive Producer, and host of the Good Life Project, for a live BrandWeek conversation about navigating disruption with clarity, resilience, and purpose.

Jonathan shares five principles for businesses to thrive in volatile markets, including actively seeking new opportunities, building trust through creator partnerships, narrowing strategic focus, and addressing the deeper anxiety behind consumer needs. The conversation also explores why calm, grounded communication can build stronger connections than simply addressing surface-level problems.

Going a step beyond strategy, Jonathan explains how leaders can operationalize resilience through simple nervous-system regulation techniques, including the physiological sigh, and embed practices like mindfulness and breathwork into their organizational culture. The result is a practical framework to help leaders and teams stay creative, focused, and able to make better decisions when uncertainty is at its peak.

Why Trust Transference from Creators Outperforms Brand Affinity
The "Narrow by 50%" Framework for Resource Allocation
How to Solve for the Meta Problem, Not Just the Surface Problem
The Physiological Sigh Technique for Real-Time Nervous System Regulation.
