I gain so much insight when I listen to you. You rock!
Jay’s “Do Hard Things” podcast hits the 3 R’s (Real, Raw, & Relatable) like no other. He impels you think about what’s happening in your life already and how you take that a step further. He wants us to realize mediocre is no way to live. While Jay is this extraordinary human being, he’s also “one of us”. He’s positive, uplifting, but gives us the kick in the butt we need. If you aren’t listening, START NOW.

But, his show really exhibits his care for helping and serving others and he askes for nothing in return; that’s selfless service all the way.
The show itself, Tiegs’ guests are everyday people that taken some extra step(s) in their lives that only serve to help others. They are examples of getting... more
Jay Tiegs has been a local inspiration to many people for quite sometime. There’s always been a different aura around him in terms of energy, yet he’s gone through a transformation and he’s taking folks with him on that journey.
As he rapidly established himself as a coach in many areas, he’s expanded his reach, his influence and his value through some pretty incredible podcasts. The Shamrock family to me was a clear indication of Jay’s determination to focus himself on his mission of empowerin... more
