Dr. Scott McNeal (Dr. M) talks with Dr. Jake “*Leonardo” Smith, Jr., founder and president of - Plumline - a nonprofit organization helping “people get unstuck, find rest, and experience peace.” In addition, Jake is a “faith-fueled coach & speaker, guiding leaders to live with no regrets.” 

Jake is a man of Christian faith, married, and a father of three. Pastor. Musician. And lover of fast cars.

Jake resides in Franklin, TN with his wife and family.

Jake takes his strong, caring, and focused work ethic on a multi-year ministry journey that includes: 

• forming and fronting the rock band “Jonas”; 
• serving as pastor and church planter at several high-profile churches;
• experiencing both deep personal and vocational ministry stress; and finally
• developing two organizations that promote a framework for knowing God, self, and others in a most authentic way.

In this episode, join Jake as he reflects on (1) how he and I meet, (2) the role of mentorship in life and on (3) his most recent venture – Plumline – where Jake focuses, in part, on the spiritual anatomy - heart-mind-soul-strength - of the individual in community. [That includes current and former student-athletes.]

So, let’s get into the head and heart space of my guest and friend, Jake Smith, Jr.

*My nickname for Jake. It comes from the title of one of his four CD releases back in the day entitled: Resembling Leonardo De Vinci Cross Hatching For The Drawing. 2001. https://www.discogs.com/artist/14119948-Jake-Smith-Jr
