When JR Martinez, a man of indomitable spirit whose life unfolds like an epic novel, graced our podcast, we knew the conversation would be anything but ordinary. From his life-altering injury at 19 to his triumphs as an author, actor, motivational speaker, and veteran, JR embodies what it means to be a cycle breaker. His candid reflections on personal transformation and the power of looking back to foster growth will leave you inspired and introspective. We navigated the complexities of self-honesty, the importance of feedback from loved ones, and the surprising role of stillness in our lives—a lesson I learned firsthand amid the flames of a burning Humvee.The journey didn't stop at self-reflection; it also embraced the delicate art of vulnerability and the immense strength it takes to seek support. I opened up about my father-in-law, a man whose NYPD badge didn't shield him from personal tragedy, and his initial reluctance to seek help. Our discussion underscored how vulnerability can build bridges and foster connections, even with those who might not share identical experiences. Setting boundaries, a topic often shrouded in discomfort, was also laid bare as we examined the intricate dance between maintaining personal well-being and navigating the waters of complex family relationships.Wrapping up our powerful session, we realized that the smallest moments can leave the largest imprints on our character. I shared how a simple act, like changing a contact photo to a childhood image of a loved one, can shift perspectives and nurture empathy. JR and I explored how stories of adversity and resilience resonate deeply, creating a shared human experience that transcends our individual struggles. This episode isn't just a conversation; it's a journey through the trials and triumphs that define the indomitable human spirit, reminding us to cherish the small moments that shape our lives.As a First Responder, you are critical in keeping our communities safe.

Trapped for five minutes in the blaze, JR faced what many would consider an end but for him, it was a new beginning. The physical scars, as he shared, were not the most challenging part of his recovery. It was the mental, emotional, and spiritual healing that truly tested him.The Power of Humor and Coping MechanismsJR and his fellow service members found solace in humor—a survival tactic that helped them cope with their reality. He recounted the story behind his wrist tattoo of a watch, which miraculously shielded his skin from burns during the explosion.

He shared a touching anecdote about a football player's celebratory gesture, reminding us that fulfillment requires continuous effort.The Transformative Power of LoveJR recounted a personal story of being emotionally triggered and how his best friend's response with love and understanding changed his perspective. He emphasized the significance of vulnerability and the power of unconditional love in transforming not only oneself but also in being a support system for others.Embracing Authenticity in the SpotlightJR's unexpected foray into acting led him to a role on a soap opera, where he faced the challenge of maintaining fitness and dealing with body image issues, especially regarding his scars. His decision to remain authentic and not alter his appearance for others' approval is a powerful statement on self-acceptance.The Dream of Superhero StardomAs our conversation wound down, JR humorously expressed his desire to play a superhero, drawing parallels to the character of Deadpool. He envisioned a movie where we could use our podcast's premise to help others, a testament to his enduring spirit and creativity.JR Martinez's story is a profound reminder of the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of vulnerability, humor, and genuine connection.

JR Martinez says, “I think that's what drives me to this day, is I want to be that old man on the rocking chair and I'm on the front porch one day, and not asking "What if? What if? what if?" I want to be the guy that said, "I tried it. I didn't probably complete it, but at least I gave it a shot," you know? And that's what matters more than anything. You have to ask yourself, the question is, whatever you're unhappy about, is this what you want your life to become?” In this episode, you'll learn: - Find where you belong.

Michael speaks movingly about seeing David in concert at the Garden State Arts Centre, Madison Square Garden and being present at his final show in New York 45 years later. Michael was nominated 18 times for daytime Emmy Awards, winning six times, and we talk about how he would, if given the chance, directed The Partridge Family. He began his career at ABC-TV in Master Control at the ABC Broadcast Center in New York directly from College. Michael moved on to work as a Technical Director – doing ABC sports integrations and worked with Howard Cosell on his Saturday Afternoon magazine show Sportsbeat. He was technical director for Howard's interview with boxing legend, Gerry Cooney. In 1983 he became a full time Technical Director on All My Children, moving into directing in 1996. He directed All My Children in New York, Los Angeles, and then went on to direct the Web version of “All My Children” for Prospect Park (production company) in Connecticut in 2013 after the cancellation of the Network series. Michael has worked with many outstanding actors and musicians from the worlds of Daytime TV, Primetime, and Pop Music.

Early in 2016, Michael assisted with the live theatrical production of a one-woman show – Tammy Faye Tweets produced by and starring Charlene Tilton (Lucy Ewing, 1980's Original Dallas TV show) in Los Angeles, California at the Whitefire Theatre. In the Fall of 2016 Michael directed Season 2 of the web based, Pride: The Series on Amazon Prime. His most ambitious project was for charity – a Historical Talk Show (Town Hall) for Holmdel, New Jersey, his hometown. The show was recorded in front of a live audience. The 3-hour program hosted by one of the High School's prominent teachers included interviews and clips telling the story of the High School's beginning by the men and women who created it. Michael produced, directed, edited, and authored the program on DVD as a fundraiser for the school's football field refurbishment. This program went on to win two Telly Awards in the Directing Category and the Editing Category. Currently Michael is part of the creative team of two Drama/Comedy programs that are in development and are being prepped for presentation to various streaming platforms. Michael enjoys spending time at the Jersey Shore with his wife and two children, visiting friends around the country, and attending concerts with his family and friends. Michael shared more personal memories of his career and role David has had in his life and that of his family, in my book, Cherish David Cassidy – A Legacy of Love available from Amazon and leading bookstores.

“Dancing with the Stars” winner and America hero, J.R. Martinez’ powerful story is anything but ordinary. Growing up without a positive father figure and amidst chaos, neglect, abuse, and bullying; J.R. had never experienced a secure base or unconditional love. Wanting to belong to something bigger and serve a purpose, J.R. joined the army at the age of 19, only to suffer life altering burns on the job three weeks into his first tour. After 33 plastic surgeries over four years, J.R. finally realized his ultimate healing would come from within rather than his outward appearance. Sparked by a series of events with his best friend, J.R. realized true strength comes from vulnerability and learned how to talk about the feelings that were bottled up for decades, process his trauma, and receive (and give) unconditional love. Today, J.R. is a successful actor, motivational speaker, podcast host, and devoted father and husband; and he inspires people around the globe with his story of transformation and healing.
