    Cool Runnings Actor Rawle D. Lewis: Why the Film Was Secretly About Mental Health

    Was Cool Runnings actually a manual for survival? Thirty years ago, the world fell in love with a bobsled team. But beneath the comedy and the iconic one-liners, there was a "hidden gem" of a message that we are only just beginning to decode. Today, actor Rawle D. Lewis (the man behind the legendary Junior) joins Headstrong to strip back the character and reveal the raw philosophy of the film. This isn't a trip down memory lane; it’s a look at the grit, tenacity, and mental resilience required to survive when the world expects you to fail.

    Jake Graf: The Truth About Being a Trans Dad in Today’s Climate

    In this episode of Headstrong, Jake Graf joins Louis Strong for a deeply honest conversation about identity, resilience and protecting your mental health in a world that can feel increasingly hostile. Jake opens up about growing up trans with no language or representation, the isolation that shaped his early life and the coping mechanisms he turned to just to survive. He reflects on the mental toll of persistent transphobia, the exhaustion of public scrutiny and the fear that can exist in the most ordinary moments of daily life. At the heart of this episode is hope. Jake speaks powerfully about fatherhood as an anchor for wellbeing, the joy and grounding he finds in family life and how vulnerability has become a source of strength rather than weakness. He also shares why representation in film and storytelling matters so deeply – not just for trans people but for anyone who has ever felt unseen. Enjoyed this episode?
