  • Real, Raw, & Relatable

    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.

  • A must listen!

    Do hard things with Jay is full of wisdom and helpful tips that apply to daily life. It’s so refreshing to hear how authentic and raw Jay is in his latest episode “When it rains, it pours” as this is real life and is encouraging as we all deal with hardships but there are strategies we can implement. Thanks Jay!
