Thinking Differently in Midlife — with Jonathan Salisbury, Co-Founder of Thinkfully

Episode Overview

In this conversation, Chris Gates sits down with longtime friend and collaborator Jonathan Salisbury, co-founder of Thinkfully. Jonathan’s work is not about what to think, but how to think — using four powerful strategies that unlock creativity, problem‑solving, and resilience.

Together, we explore both Thinkfully's work, as well as Jonathan's own journey to Midlife, including:

  • The four thinking styles — Expert, Link, Depth, and Click — and how they shape our decisions.
  • How they help us be more human in the age of AI.
  • The Midlife Perch — a vantage point to pause, recalibrate, and see life’s threads more clearly.
  • Navigating corporate and entrepreneurial life, including work with Sainsburys & GlaxoSmithKline as well as his own ventures.
  • Discovering how faith, friendships, and thinking practices have sustained him.
  • The role of wilderness times in confronting limitation and discovering renewal, including during family illness.

His reflections remind us that nothing is wasted — every experience can be formative if we lean into it with openness.

About Thinkfully

Thinkfully equips leaders and organisations to:

  • Recognise and expand their thinking styles.
  • Break free from over‑reliance on expertise.

Key Quote

“Attention is the ignition key for the mind. Where we choose to put our thoughts, everything else flows from that.” — Jonathan Salisbury
