Join us for a stirring conversation with Justin Peck, a professional race car driver who has turned his personal challenges with class one bipolar disorder into a powerful advocacy for mental health. Justin shares his early experiences of feeling different and the painful reality of bullying and lack of support, which many listeners may find relatable. His candid reflections offer insights into the evolving understanding within his own family and draw important parallels with the autistic community, shedding light on the broader need for awareness and acceptance. Racing became more than just a sport for Justin; it transformed into a lifeline. He recounts a harrowing experience at 26, when a moment of despair turned into a revelation that led to a crucial diagnosis and a renewed purpose. Listeners will find inspiration in Justin's incredible resilience as he navigated economic challenges in the construction industry to pursue his passion for racing. Despite enduring significant physical pain, Justin's journey underscores the healing power of pursuing one's passion and finding a community that offers belonging and support. As the founder of the National Mental Health Alliance, Justin is on a mission to educate and support those facing mental health challenges, particularly veterans and young men. Our discussion emphasizes the value of authentic conversations and the impact they can have on lives. Justin's story is one of hope, resilience, and the power of purpose, and we invite listeners to engage with the content that not only educates but genuinely inspires change. https://tonymantor.com https://Facebook.com/tonymantor https://instagram.com/tonymantor https://twitter.com/tonymantor https://youtube.com/tonymantormusic intro/outro music bed written by T.

#198 - A story of wild trails, darker nights, and a love that wouldn't let go. I sat down with author and long-distance hiker Wing Williams to unpack his “howling twenties,” the constant motion that took him across 49 states, and the quiet rituals that hid a growing addiction. From Mount Washington to the Appalachian Trail and the Pacific Crest Trail, Wing explains how the woods taught him endurance and community while alcohol promised relief from an unseen torment he now names as spiritual warfare.What follows is a candid look at rock bottom: seizures, medical detox, and the moment pride finally broke into surrender. Wing shares why asking for help is the bravest first step, how family showed up when it counted, and why spiritual and medical support must work together when alcohol has become a lifeline and a trap. We also explore the stark difference between hiking with a bottle and living strong in sobriety, the loneliness of being misunderstood, and the humble daily practices that keep recovery honest.Cinereal, Wing's new memoir, threads these pieces into a story about addiction, faith, and redemption that is both gritty and life-giving. You'll hear practical insights on recognizing early warning signs of dependency, how long trails like the AT and PCT become blueprints for resilience, and what it means to rebuild identity on purpose instead of performance. If you've ever felt lost in the silence after the summit, this conversation offers a handhold: hope is real, healing is possible, and you don't have to walk alone.If this episode moved you, tap follow, leave a quick review to help others find the show, and share it with a friend who needs to hear that redemption is still on the table.To learn more about Wing and his book check out wingwilliams.com and give him a follow on Instagram @cinerealememoir.Want to be a guest on Journey with Jake?

GovClose Certification Overview: https://www.govclose.com/govclose-certification-programThe "Jab Jab Right Hook" Strategy for Government Contracting SuccessStop chasing contracts with proposals. Start building relationships that WIN contracts. In this coaching call, I break down how relationship-based selling works in government contracting using Gary Vaynerchuk's "Jab, Jab, Right Hook" framework.Most contractors think they need to write better proposals. Wrong. The most successful government contractors I know rarely write competitive proposals—they win through relationships. Here's how to apply the Jab-Jab-Right Hook method to build genuine connections with contracting officers and decision-makers.**Who This Is For:**→ Government contractors tired of losing competitive bids→ Small businesses building their first relationships with agencies→ Consultants helping clients navigate federal sales→ Anyone pursuing DOD, DOE, DHS, or civilian agency contracts→ Companies with existing contracts looking to expand within an agency**CHAPTERS:**00:00 - Introduction: Why Relationships Beat Proposals00:45 - Always Take the Networking Call (Real Story)01:15 - Negotiating Between Big Companies & Egos02:00 - The Lawyer Problem: CYA vs. Making Deals Happen03:15 - Community Support & Learning from Each Other04:30 - Teaming Agreement Templates (Use & Reuse)04:45 - Product vs. Problem: Focus on THEIR Need07:00 - Market Intelligence Tools: Who Needs What14:30 - Using GovWin IQ to Track Pipeline & History18:15 - Subcontracting Strategy: Stay Focused or Diversify?21:00 - Timeline Expectations: 12 Months Is Normal22:00 - On-Site Networking: Fort Bragg Example22:30 - The Jab-Jab-Right Hook Method Explained23:00 - Every 3rd or 4th Time: When to Ask for Business23:15 - Why COs Want to Help Good Companies**Key Timestamps:**• 00:45 - How one networking call turned into a job offer• 02:30 - Why lawyers' CYA mentality kills deals• 05:15 - "Be passionate about your client's problem, not your product"• 06:00 - You're setting yourself up for failure if you don't match requirements• 22:30 - "Every single sale was never writing a proposal again"• 22:45 - "I would go there with engineers and fix it, wouldn't charge them"• 23:00 - "Every fourth or fifth time I'd ask for more business"• 23:15 - "I wanted to help companies that were honestly trying to do good work"**Related Videos You Should Watch:**• How to Use GovWin IQ for Pipeline Building• DOE National Labs Contracting Strategy• When to Give Up on an Agency (And Move On)• Teaming Agreements: How to Negotiate Between Big PlayersNeed a consultant?

Developer Relations wirkt von außen oft wie eine Bühne, ein Reisekoffer und ein paar Sticker am Messestand. Aber was, wenn genau diese Rolle der stärkste Hebel ist, um dein Produkt besser zu machen, deine Tech-Community ernsthaft aufzubauen und Entwickler:innen wirklich erfolgreich zu machen?In dieser Episode nehmen wir Developer Relations auseinander, ganz ohne Marketing-Buzzword-Bingo. Zu Gast ist Philipp Krenn, Head of Developer Relations bei Elastic. Philipp bringt nicht nur jahrelange DevRel-Praxis mit, sondern auch Community-DNA, von Viennadb-Meetups bis Papers We Love, plus Open-Source-Erfahrung rund um Google Summer of Code und das Elastic-Ökosystem.Wir klären, was DevRel eigentlich ist, wo die Grenze zu Developer Marketing verläuft und warum der wichtigste Unterschied oft die Zwei-Wege-Kommunikation ist: raus in die Community und zurück ins Produktteam. Wir sprechen über den Alltag von Developer Advocates, Konferenzen, Content, Community Support auf Discourse, Reddit, Stack Overflow und Slack und wie man Feedback so sammelt, dass es in Roadmaps landet. Dazu kommt die große Frage: Influencer oder nicht? Und warum der Personenkult für Firmen gefährlich werden kann.Außerdem geht es um Open Source, Meetups, Tech Community, Networking, KPIs ohne falsche Anreize, den DevRel-Hype-Zyklus rund um AI und welche Skills du brauchst, wenn du selbst in Developer Relations einsteigen willst.Am Ende weißt du nicht nur, ob DevRel zu dir passt, sondern auch, wie du als Entwickler:in DevRel wirklich nutzen kannst, ohne nur Socken mitzunehmen.Bonus: Wenn jemand mit Laptop und kaputter Query kommt, ist das für Philipp kein Problem, sondern der Wunschzustand.Unsere aktuellen Werbepartner findest du auf https://engineeringkiosk.dev/partnersDas schnelle Feedback zur Episode:

Victoria Lenormand is a former police detective turned holistic coach, Reiki master, and passionate advocate for alternative education and social justice. With a 28-year career in public service behind her, Victoria's lens is both compassionate and sharp: she's witnessed firsthand how institutions can sometimes fail those they claim to serve. Her journey took a transformative turn when her youngest son's autism diagnosis revealed the flaws in rigid educational and medical systems. Choosing to home educate, she and her family embraced a life of flexibility, healing, and empowerment—living in a motorhome before settling in Scotland and exploring a more intuitive way of living. Her family's transformation, sparked by a combination of diet, environment, and deep listening, revealed the healing power of choice and the cost of ignoring it.Today, through Gemini Directions, Victoria now works with families and individuals who feel stuck inside systems not made for them. Her work draws on training in wellness coaching, trauma-informed care, and energy work—but more than anything, it's shaped by real-world experience: managing crisis with calm, asking better questions, making space when the default is to push through. Victoria speaks to parents at breaking point, professionals navigating burnout, and educators or policymakers open to doing things differently. Her conversations centre around those day-to-day quiet acts of courage: advocating for yourself, questioning “normal,” and moving toward something slower, more responsive, and often more effective.Takeaways:The value of a child is often revealed in the challenges they face, not just in their successes.When traditional education fails to meet a child's needs, parents must explore alternative educational paths.Creating a supportive community is essential for families navigating the complexities of education and special needs.Empowering children to take charge of their own learning fosters autonomy and encourages a love for education.Resilience is cultivated through overcoming challenges and learning to adapt in the face of adversity.The holistic approach to education recognizes the interconnectedness of emotional, physical, and academic well-being.Chapters:00:20 - Choosing to Withdraw: A New Direction06:20 - The Journey of Learning and Discovery08:23 - The Journey of Learning and Inclusion18:51 - Navigating Educational Change22:49 - Rethinking Education: Navigating New Possibilities28:20 - The Journey of Personalization in Learning34:45 - Navigating Educational Change and Personal Growth40:01 - The Importance of Community Support in Challenging Times42:38 - The Power of Resilience and Community

Jarret recounts how a small Instagram account led to successful community events raising funds for local nonprofits, demonstrating how small beginnings can yield significant benefits. He emphasizes the importance of stewarding one's creativity and vocation, no matter the budget, to benefit the community and glorify God.Bio:From Boswell, Oklahoma, Jarrett McIntyre's cinematic journey began simply: watching films with family. After earning an English degree from the College of the Ozarks, he sought to bring uplifting stories to the screen.Jarrett currently serves as the founder of the Branson Filmmakers Association and is a cofounder of JM CLIPS Film Productions. There, in the humble beginnings of his career in Christian cinema, he is blessed to collaborate with his brother, Jace, and father, Clinton.

When lawyers start thinking about leaving, they focus on the practical steps. What career should I pursue? How do I update my resume? What skills do I need? Those things matter, but Sarah consistently hears from lawyers that they underestimated something else. They didn't realize how much they needed to know they weren't alone.The legal profession can be deeply isolating, especially for people who are unhappy. In a field focused on prestige, lawyers often feel like they have to maintain a professional persona just to be taken seriously. It becomes hard to admit that the work doesn't fit, even to yourself.

About this episode: Join Carolin as she takes you behind the scenes of her personal journey inside The Manifestor Community - a story that began with one tiny, illogical urge in 2022. You'll hear how a small initiation unfolded into something far bigger than she ever could've imagined: becoming the Social Media Manager, expanding into backend support, and eventually stepping into a Department Head role. But this episode isn't just about her story within the Manifestor Community. It's about the power of the small initiations - the micro urges, tiny nudges, quick sparks - and how they create long-term ripple effects in ways we can't always foresee. We explore: How accumulated micro-initiations can shape purpose, opportunity, and identity. Why resistance often shows up right before we take action and the psychological “before the jump” moment where doubt, fear, and paralysis kicks in. This episode is equal parts storytelling, energy wisdom, and grounded encouragement. If you've ever doubted your urges, dismissed a tiny initiation, or felt frozen right before taking action… this one is for you. About Carolin: a 1/3 Emotional Manifestor and Virtual Assistant & Social Media Manager. She has been supporting TMC in the backend since 2023 and is the Department Head for Community Support since early 2025. IG: @carolin.rupp

In this episode, Dr. Sharon Niv discusses her work at Joyus, a public benefit company focused on revolutionizing mental health care through personalized at-home microdose ketamine treatments.    Dr. Sharon explains the history of ketamine as a treatment for mental health, its mechanisms of action, and the importance of community support in the healing process.    Nick asks Dr. Sharon questions that address common concerns and stigma surrounding ketamine treatment, emphasizing its low risk and potential benefits.    Their conversation also explores the role of neuroplasticity in mental health recovery and the future of AI in therapy.    Dr. Sharon provides insights into personalized treatment protocols and encourages both patients and therapists to consider the benefits of ketamine therapy.   Key Takeaways:    Dr. Sharon Niv is a cognitive psychologist bridging neuroscience and therapy. Joyus offers personalized at-home microdose ketamine treatments. Ketamine was first synthesized in the 1950s and is used safely in medical settings. The drug has shown promise in treating severe depression and suicidality. Ketamine works primarily on the glutamate system, unlike traditional psychedelics. Lower doses of ketamine can provide therapeutic benefits without destabilizing experiences. Community support is crucial for individuals undergoing ketamine treatment. Neuroplasticity allows the brain to change and adapt, which is enhanced by ketamine. Personalized treatment protocols are essential for effective ketamine therapy. AI has potential in mental health, but should not replace human therapists.   Chapters   00:00 Introduction to Dr. Sharone Niv and Her Work 02:58 The Journey to Psychology and Entrepreneurship 05:47 The History and Safety of Ketamine 08:45 Ketamine as a Treatment for Mental Health 11:36 Understanding Ketamine's Mechanism and Effects 14:44 The Psycholytic State and Its Benefits 17:40 Addressing Stigma and Concerns Around Psychedelics 20:48 The Joyus Approach to Microdosing Ketamine 23:24 Personal Experiences and Emotional Release 26:45 The Importance of Connection and Exploration 27:14 Exploring Psychoactive Substances and Their Impact 28:14 The Tragic Story of Matthew Perry 32:56 Neuroscience and Mental Health: The Role of Neuroplasticity 39:45 Personalized Treatment Protocols for Mental Health 45:22 Community Support in Mental Health Treatment 47:48 The Future of AI in Therapy 53:07 The Dark Side of AI in Mental Health 54:37 Innovative Uses of AI in Therapy 56:09 Training Therapists for New Technologies 59:43 The Journey of Integrating Ketamine Treatment 01:02:09 Encouragement for Patients and Therapists 01:04:22 Understanding the Risks and Benefits of Ketamine 01:09:52 Navigating the Decision to Try Ketamine 01:12:08 Practical Considerations for Microdosing Ketamine Find Dr. Sharon Niv here: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joyous.team/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/joyous.friends   Website: https://www.joyous.team/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sharon-niv/ | https://www.linkedin.com/company/joyousteam/ Find Nick Thompson here: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nthompson513/  |  https://www.instagram.com/the_ucan_foundation/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@EyesWideOpenContent   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickthompson13/     UCAN Foundation: https://theucanfoundation.org/  Website: https://www.engagewithnick.com/

In a world filled with distractions and societal pressures, finding and stepping into your true identity can feel like a monumental task. In this enlightening podcast episode, Michael Trainer shares profound insights on the importance of individuation, using personal anecdotes and timeless wisdom to guide listeners on their journey to self-discovery. **Understanding Individuation**  Michael Trainer opens the discussion by emphasizing the significance of drawing a line in the sand and embracing the identity that resonates with us. He recalls advice from his leadership coach, Peter Roche, who reminded him that we are the lead actors in our own movies. This metaphor encourages listeners to take control of their narratives, embodying the characters they aspire to be, such as the king, the warrior, or the lover. These archetypes have been part of human storytelling for centuries, and recognizing them can help us align with our deepest desires. **The Traditional Rite of Passage**  Trainer reflects on the historical processes of individuation, where young men and women were guided through challenging rites of passage by elders. These experiences often required courage and a confrontation with fears, leading to a new identity and a profound sense of belonging. Unfortunately, in today's convenience-oriented culture, these traditional connections and rites of passage are often missing, leaving many feeling stuck in their childhood narratives and unprepared for adulthood. **The Importance of Letting Go**  To fully embrace our potential, Trainer stresses the need to let go of old stories that no longer serve us. He shares a personal experience of slipping and injuring his wrist, using this incident as a metaphor for the importance of paying attention to life's signals. He highlights how injuries can teach us valuable lessons about health, patience, and resilience. In moments of struggle, we are reminded to reflect on our paths and take responsibility for our choices. **Finding Your Purpose**  The conversation then shifts to the significance of stepping into our purpose, or Dharma. Trainer explains that when we neglect our true calling, life can feel chaotic and unsteady. However, when we stand firm in our convictions and embrace our roles within our communities, we can navigate challenges with greater ease. This self-awareness leads to empowerment, allowing us to transition from one life stage to another, whether it's from maiden to mother or prince to king. **Community and Support**  Michael shares his own journey of individuation, which included participating in men's work with his father and engaging in transformative programs like the Mankind Project. He emphasizes the importance of community in this process, as being witnessed by others can facilitate growth and healing. However, he also acknowledges that not everyone has access to such experiences. Therefore, he encourages listeners to seek out mentors and peers who can inspire and challenge them to rise to their full potential. **Commitment to Growth**  As Trainer reflects on his own life, he recognizes the need to surround himself with individuals who push him forward, not just those who provide comfort. He shares his commitment to returning to a supportive community in Austin, Texas, where he plans to embark on a new chapter in 2026, focusing on personal growth and the birthing of a new book. This commitment, while daunting, represents a significant step in his journey toward individuation. What happens when you finally decide to stop playing small?In this intimate solo episode, Michael dives into the ancient and deeply human process of individuation—the moment you step out of the outdated version of yourself and into the role you were always meant to inhabit.Drawing on wisdom from his leadership mentor, Peter Roche, and archetypes from myth and psychology, Michael explores why so many of us are living out childhood stories long after they've expired… and what it takes to cross the threshold into your next chapter.He shares a recent personal moment—a literal fall—that became a metaphor for the ways life tries to get our attention when we're not stepping fully into our gifts, purpose, and power.You'll hear:Why you're the lead actor in your own storyThe archetypes (King, Warrior, Magician, Lover) that shape your identityHow ancient rites of passage forged adults who could protect communityWhat happens when we avoid the identity we're called to liveHow injury, setback, or friction can be a spiritual signalWhy strong peers and “iron sharpens iron” relationships matterThe difference between karma and dharmaWhy stepping into your bigness is not arrogance but responsibilityMichael's commitment to a new chapter—and an invitation to begin your ownIf you've been feeling the pull toward a bigger life, deeper purpose, truer relationships, or a more courageous version of yourself… this episode is your line in the sand.**Conclusion: Key Takeaways**  Michael Trainer's podcast serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of stepping into our true identities and the role of community in our journeys. Key takeaways include:- Embrace the idea that you are the lead actor in your life and have the power to shape your narrative.- Recognize the value of traditional rites of passage and seek out ways to create your own.- Let go of stories that no longer serve you and focus on your true purpose.- Surround yourself with a community that inspires growth and pushes you to reach your potential.- Commit to continuous personal development and be willing to embrace new chapters in your life. Michael Trainer has spent 30 years learning from Nobel laureates, neuroscientists, and wisdom keepers worldwide.
