Jake Reisch, a 2024 Hoffman Process graduate, is passionate about building impactful companies from the ground up. He's also an authentic speaker and storyteller, as you'll hear in this conversation with Jake and Sadie. At the heart of Jake's story is authenticity, courage, and a willingness to stay present to himself. At the start, Sadie asks Jake to share his bio - a seemingly quick and easy task. In Jake's case, though, he has realized that his bio and how he shares about himself and his life have radically changed since his time at the Hoffman Process. It was after completing the Process that things started to click for Jake. He found he could witness his patterns in real-time and consciously make different choices in his daily life. At one point, as he shares, he found himself publicly speaking about his experience in childhood. He told his audience about his mistakes when he was young and his successes as an adult, building very successful startups. Both were, and are, true. Jake then told his audience that in his successes, he'd been "leaning into the gifts that he was given that he just didn't know how to use when he was younger." Jake was able to share publicly all of himself and his history. He's found that sharing hard things with others permits them to share their hard things, too. That's how deep relationships become possible. One more thing about today's episode: as mentioned, Sadie Hannah, Hoffman teacher and coach, hosts this conversation with Jake. Sadie is our newest Hoffman Podcast host. She and Drew will share the role of host moving forward. Congratulations, Sadie! Thank you, Jake, for telling us your whole story. We hope you enjoy this authentic and intimate conversation with Jake and Sadie. More about Jake Reisch: Jake is a Forbes 30 Under 30 startup founder with a passion for building impactful companies from the ground up. He is currently the Executive Director at the Center for Internet and Technology Addiction while actively coaching and investing in high-potential, impact-oriented startup CEOs. He completed the Hoffman Process in March 2024. Jake currently lives in Panama City, Panama, with his wife Isabella and small dog Barry. Follow Jake on Instagram and LinkedIn.

We continue our new verse by verse series in Galatians on a Daily Walk. As we head back to chapter two remember the apostle Paul is in the midst of defending himself and his ministry. Lies were being spread about him and he wanted to clear things up. In doing so he takes a strong stand for the gospel of grace.

If you're a Christian you have a testimony and the Lord can use it in powerful ways. What a privilege it is to speak of God's grace that saves us and changes our lives. In Galatians chapter one we run across the Apostle Paul's testimony. We'll notice who he was before he was saved, and can't help but see the big difference after God got a hold of his life.

Many people believe that breast cancer is primarily caused by genetics, but did you know that only 5-10% of cases are linked to inherited mutations like BRCA1, BRCA2, and CHEK2? The truth is, your overall health and risk of recurrence are influenced by key biological processes such as detoxification, methylation, and inflammation—and these are things you can actively support with your nutrition and lifestyle choices. In this episode of Better Than Before Breast Cancer, I break down how these processes impact your health, how to recognize the signs of imbalance in your body, and why a low-carbohydrate diet can be a powerful tool in regulating glucose, insulin, and inflammation. I also explain why nutrition isn't about restriction—it's about giving your body the support it needs to function at its best. You'll learn:✔️ Why genetics are only part of the breast cancer risk equation✔️ How detoxification, methylation, and inflammation work together to protect your body✔️ Common signs that these processes may not be working efficiently✔️ How blood sugar regulation impacts detox, inflammation, and cancer risk✔️ How a low-carb, nutrient-dense diet supports healing and reduces recurrence risk✔️ Simple, actionable steps to support your body's detox, inflammation, and methylation pathways This episode will empower you to understand your unique genetic blueprint and how to make lifestyle changes that align with your body's needs. It's not about fear—it's about taking control of your health and making choices that truly support healing. Resources & Links:

You know how sometimes you might indulge in a bit too much junk food, or maybe the kids aren't acing their tests, or perhaps you're navigating the single life? Hold up—before you start to worry, there's a seemingly scientific explanation for all of it, and it points to one place: our brains. Neuroscience has become the go-to for decoding life's issues, spanning medicine, economics, politics, and education. But hold your horses—some experts are raising the red flag on “neuromania,” the tendency to oversimplify our behaviors down to just brain activity. In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Introduction: The Problem We Can't Ignore We live in a world where the food we eat is supposed to nourish us, but what if it's actually making us sick? Pesticides, soil degradation, and nutrient-depleted crops are all part of our modern food system, contributing to rising cases of neurological disorders, metabolic diseases, and immune dysfunction. The research is clear: exposure to certain pesticides has been linked to cognitive decline, Parkinson's disease, and an increased cancer risk. At the same time, the way we farm today is stripping our food of the vital nutrients our ancestors took for granted. So, the question isn't just about avoiding chemicals—it's about finding food that truly fuels life. The solution? Organic, regenerative, and locally grown produce. Let's break down the science and give you real reasons why it's never been more important to care about where your food comes from.     The Science Behind Pesticides and Health Risks  The Hidden Dangers of Conventional Farming Pesticide residues in conventional food contribute to long-term health risks, including cognitive decline and neurodevelopmental disorders in children. According to Holzman (2012) in Organic Food Conclusions Don't Tell the Whole Story, "Pesticide dietary risk is a function of many factors, including the number of residues, their levels, and pesticide toxicity." (Holzman, 2012).  Organophosphate pesticides, commonly used in industrial agriculture, have been directly linked to Parkinson's disease. As Mie et al. (2017) state in Human Health Implications of Organic Food and Organic Agriculture, "Epidemiological studies have reported adverse effects of certain pesticides on children's cognitive development at current levels of exposure." (Mie et al., 2017).  Pregnant women consuming conventional produce showed higher levels of pyrethroid insecticides in their bodies compared to those eating organic. Curl et al. (2019) in Effect of a 24-week Randomized Trial of an Organic Produce Intervention found that "3-Phenoxybenzoic acid (3-PBA, a biomarker for pyrethroids) concentrations were significantly higher in conventional produce consumers compared to organic consumers." (Curl et al., 2019).      The Cancer Connection The International Agency for Research on Cancer has classified several pesticides used in conventional farming—such as glyphosate and malathion—as likely carcinogens. Hemler et al. (2018) in Organic Foods for Cancer Prevention—Worth the Investment? found that "Participants with the highest frequency of organic food consumption had a 25% lower risk of being diagnosed with cancer during follow-up compared with those with the lowest frequency." (Hemler et al., 2018).     The Nutrient Density Solution: More Than Just Pesticide-Free  Higher Nutrients in Organic & Regenerative Foods  Organic fruits and vegetables contain higher levels of vitamin C, essential minerals like magnesium and iron, and more powerful antioxidants. Maloney (2014) in Comparative Study on Nutritional Quality and Detection of Pesticide Residues states, "Organic foods are better in taste, appearance, firmness, and nutrient content when compared to conventional foods." (Maloney, 2014). Organically grown produce has 20-40% higher levels of antioxidants than conventionally grown produce, which help protect against inflammation and chronic diseases. According to Mie et al. (2017), "Differences in the composition between organic and conventional crops include a modestly higher content of phenolic compounds in organic fruit and vegetables." (Mie et al., 2017).     The Simple Steps to Better Food Go Organic Whenever Possible – Reduce your pesticide exposure and increase the nutrient density of your food.  Support Local & Regenerative Farms – Look for farmers using soil-restoring practices that make food healthier.  Grow Your Own – Even a small backyard garden or balcony pot can produce pesticide-free, nutrient-rich food.  Buy Seasonal Produce – Seasonal food is fresher, richer in nutrients, and often grown closer to home. Prioritize the Dirty Dozen – If you can't go 100% organic, at least choose organic versions of the most pesticide-laden produce, like strawberries, spinach, and apples.     Conclusion: Take Back Control of Your Health  Our food choices today impact our health for decades to come. Science shows that organic, regenerative, and locally grown food isn't just a trendy choice—it's a necessity. From reducing pesticides to boosting essential nutrients, switching to better food sources is one of the most powerful steps you can take to live a longer, healthier life.  So, are you ready to make the change?     Bibliography: Holzman, D.

Whole Story | Storytellers | Week 1 | Jared Callahan

There's something special about receiving a thoughtful note, especially when it's coming from someone you love. Maybe that's why so many romantic movies center on a love letter! Well, as Pastor J.D. continues our series called, The Whole Story, he's looking at the greatest love letter ever written: the book of Isaiah.

In this message, Pastor J.D. unpacks a lesser-known account from the Old Testament that gives us a powerful picture of God's purpose in our suffering. It's the story of a young girl's faith, a proud man's brush with death, and God's amazing mercy. It's part of our overview of the Bible called, The Whole Story.

As we continue our series called, The Whole Story, we're looking at a tragic moment in the history of Israel. The people had turned from following God and had given themselves over to worshiping idols.

When life is going well, it's easy to say that we trust God's plan. But what about when everything seems to be falling apart? Does having faith mean we skip along and pretend everything is fine? Pastor J.D. addresses those questions as he continues our series called, The Whole Story. We're looking at Psalm 37.

Whether we like to admit it or not, we all wrestle with doubts from time to time. So when those questions start creeping up in our minds and we just can't make sense of God's plan, how should we respond?  Pastor J.D. turns to Psalm 73 to answer that question as he continues our series called, The Whole Story.

As Pastor J.D. continues our series called, The Whole Story, we're looking at a short Old Testament book that paints a beautiful picture of God's redeeming love. Through the romance of Boaz and Ruth, we see a picture of Jesus, our Kinsman Redeemer.

How do you judge success in life? Is it tied to your bank account or the respect of your peers? We all have different things we look to for validation, but Pastor J.D. is reminding us that God has a different way of measuring success. We're looking at the book of Joshua and learning how to find success in surrender. It's part of our series called, The Whole Story.

In military terms, surrender is a bad thing. It means you've failed or given up. But in spiritual terms, surrender is the best decision you'll ever make! As Pastor J.D. continues our series called, The Whole Story, he's describing what it means to submit yourself completely to God's will and direction. We're looking at the story of Joshua and the battle of Jericho and learning how to give up control to God's leading.

As believers, we know we're saved by God's grace alone, not by any works that we do. But why does the Bible give us so many rules and regulations? Pastor J.D. answers that question as he describes the purpose of these Old Testament instructions. We'll be learning more about the Ten Commandments as we continue our series called, The Whole Story.

This week, Jake discusses the Beastie Boys and the challenges of creating an episode about a band that was so influential to him personally, as well as the importance of telling the whole story when it comes to rock 'n' roll, not just the tightly controlled version that an artist might want told.

Many people think of the Bible as just a book of rules and regulations. And, the Old Testament tends to be especially intimidating, because it appears to be full of impossible standards we can never live up to. As we continue our series called, The Whole Story, Pastor J.D. explains the true purpose behind all of God's standards. It's an important reminder about our desperate need of God's grace.

Yom Kippur, or the Day of Atonement, is the holiest of all the biblical feasts. And traditionally, the activities of this solemn day centered around two goats. One was sacrificed, while the other was sent into the wilderness as a scapegoat, symbolically carrying away the sins of the people. As Pastor J.D. continues our series called, The Whole Story, he explains how this ancient practice points to Jesus!

As we continue our series called, The Whole Story, Pastor J.D. dives into a part of the Bible you don't usually hear a lot about: the book of Leviticus. We're learning how the traditional celebration of Yom Kippur serves as a sign—pointing us to Jesus!

The story of Joseph and his many-colored coat is one of the more popular accounts in the Old Testament. But it's more than just an interesting story. From being sold into slavery by his brothers, thrown into prison, and then rising to power and being reunited with his family, Joseph's life is a beautiful picture of God's sovereign plan. And that's our subject as Pastor J.D. continues our series titled, The Whole Story.

It's easy to say you trust God. But when things go wrong, and your child gets a scary diagnosis or your business goes under, it's hard to see how that fits into God's plan. Pastor J.D. is tackling those doubts as he continues our overview of the Bible called, The Whole Story. We're getting an important reminder of God's sovereign control in every situation.

Our culture tells us that the key to happiness is finding your soul mate. But then, when marriage gets hard, we start looking for something else to fill us up, like a career, children, or a hobby. But it never really satisfies! Pastor J.D. is pointing us to the only source of lasting joy as he continues our series called, The Whole Story.

The movies often make it seem like romance is the answer to all of our problems. Guy kisses girl, and they live happily ever after. But we all know that real life doesn't work that way! No matter how happy your relationship might be, it's not a guarantee of a happy life. As Pastor J.D. continues our series called, The Whole Story, he's explaining the key to true, lasting joy, regardless of your relationship status.

When you picture “the good life,” what comes to mind? Financial security? A happy marriage? A successful career? None of those things are wrong on their own. But Pastor J.D. explains that they will never truly bring you satisfaction. We're discovering the only source of security and significance as we continue our series called, The Whole Story.

What do you do when the thing you've been dreaming about doesn't fulfill you like you thought it would? Pastor J.D. addresses that question as he continues our series called, The Whole Story.

Noah's Ark is one of the most popular stories in the Bible. It's an especially big hit with kids. In fact, you've probably seen picture books and nursery décor with the animals going up two-by-two into the boat. But when you look at the actual story as it's told in the Bible, it's definitely not G-rated! As we continue our series called, The Whole Story, Pastor J.D. explains what Noah's story reveals about our sin, God's wrath, and the plan of redemption.

If you asked a few people to name their favorite aspect of God's character, you'd probably hear things like, “his love” or “his grace.” His wrath usually won't be at the top of the list! But Pastor J.D. explains that God's wrath isn't something to be covered up, ignored, or minimized. It's actually an important, beautiful part of who God is! And we'll see why that is as we unpack the story of Noah's Ark. It's part of our series called, The Whole Story.

It doesn't take more than about ten minutes of listening to the news to know that our world is pretty messed up. Between wars, hate crimes, and mass shootings, it can all seem pretty overwhelming! But how did things get this way, and is there any way to fix it? Pastor J.D. tackles those questions as he continues our series called, The Whole Story.

Most people like to think of themselves as a “pretty good person.” But Pastor J.D. is challenging that notion as he continues our study in Genesis. He's showing that, if we're honest with ourselves, we know we're not as good as we should be. So why is that, and what can we do about it? It's part of our series called, The Whole Story.
