About this episode
Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with Creator, Storyteller, Speaker, Presenter & Designated Hitter Clayton Johnson.
Clayton Johnson has been on more than 2,500 stages around the world, speaking to audiences ranging from intimate groups to crowds of 10,000 people. But what makes Clayton different is his ability to take information, training and real-world experience and weave it all into compelling, engaging and moving stories.
With an unmistakable smile, infectious positivity and a remarkable ability to find joy, fun and gratitude even in difficult situations, Clayton brings powerful energy to every room and every stage. His mission is simple: help people perform at their best when the pressure is on.
After years of observing a simple but powerful principle used by elite athletes, Clayton developed The Walk-Up Protocol—a practical framework that uses music to shift your mental and emotional state before life's biggest moments.
Whether you're preparing for a high-stakes presentation, difficult conversation, sales call, job interview, performance, leadership moment or pivotal opportunity, Clayton teaches people how to stop allowing fear, doubt or the energy of the room to dictate how they show up.
In this conversation, we get into the whole story behind Clayton Johnson, his years on stages around the world, the power of storytelling, performing under pressure, mindset, confidence, music and the development of the Walk-Up Protocol.
How do you change your state before the moment that matters most? Clayton has built a fascinating answer—and it starts with the same idea that has helped elite athletes get ready to perform.
Enjoy this interview.
