Jay opens up about moments when he’s felt guided and protected, sharing powerful examples of how trusting what we can’t always see can lead to the most meaningful outcomes. In this episode, you'll learn: How to Tell the Difference Between Fear and Intuition How to Trust the Guidance You Receive How to Quiet the Monkey Mind How to Strengthen Your Spiritual Connection Every Day How to Turn Coincidences into Clarity How to Use Intuition to Make Better Decisions Life often speaks in whispers before we’re ready to listen.

    #380 5 Weeks on Life Support: How I Survived Total Organ Failure | Jared Maynard

    Jared Maynard is a Canadian physiotherapist, strength coach, and competitive powerlifter who specializes in resilience through strength training. In January 2023, what began as a mild cold quickly escalated into Secondary Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), a rare and deadly hyper-inflammatory disorder. Despite being strong and healthy, Jared rapidly suffered multi-organ failure, including liver and kidney failure, requiring him to be placed on life support in the ICU for five weeks. Facing fatality odds often described as worse than a coin flip, doctors prepared his family for the worst, but he made a miraculous turnaround, earning him the nickname "Miracle Man" from ICU staff. Jared's survival was critically aided by his years of consistent strength training, with doctors confirming that the 40 pounds of muscle mass he lost served as a vital nutritional reserve during his illness. His harrowing recovery required him to relearn basic functions like walking, talking, and swallowing. Just over a year after leaving the hospital, Jared made a powerful return to the powerlifting platform on May 25, 2024, achieving a lifetime personal record deadlift of 501.5 lbs and a PR DOTS score. Jared continues to compete and uses his story—which includes facing the progressive genetic eye disease, Choroideremia (CHM)—to share the transformative power of strength and inspire others to persevere.

    #378 "Powerlifting Saved Me From Cocaine Addiction & Foster Care" | Eugene Bazemore

    Eugene "Big Gene" Bazemore is a 32-year-old Army veteran-turned-super-heavyweight powerlifter who clawed his way from orphan shelters in Hampton Roads, VA to a 2,050-lb raw total and an XPC Arnold Worlds title in barely three seasons on the platform. After military service left a competitive void, Eugene discovered powerlifting through Westside vs The World, self-coached his first meet in 2022, and has been stacking 2K-plus totals—and life lessons—ever since. In this conversation with Dave, Gene breaks down the realities of untested lifting, balancing an elite training schedule with day-to-day life in Marietta, nutrition that fuels 800-lb deadlifts, and why the barbell became the lifeline that kept him out of prison.
