An actor, former athlete, activist and entrepreneur, Jesse is ready to take on any challenge (or dream) and make it happen. The Alberta native began his acting career at the age of 14, starring in the film Children of the Dust alongside legendary actor Sidney Poitier. However, Jesse put his acting career on hold at age 18 when he accepted a full athletic scholarship at the prestigious Moorhouse College in Atlanta. There, he thrived as a breakout track star.
Now, between his many ventures, Jesse continues to not only act but also produce many award-winning films and television productions (It’s Not My Fault, I Don’t Care Anyway, Tiny Plastic Men). You may also have seen Jesse in Netflix’s hit show, Black Summer.
Outside of the arts, Jesse invests in various businesses and runs a consultancy inspired by the #MakeItAwkward campaign he launched (with his wife,  Julia) in 2016 to combat racism, misogyny, homophobia and hatred. He works with organizations and leaders to help them understand and address racism. In 2023, Jesse published his debut novel, Jars, a coming-of-age story about acceptance, self-discovery and the adventures of being a young person struggling to find their place.
In 2017, Jesse was the recipient of the Obsidian Award for Top Business Leader in Western Canada. That year, he was also named the Community Man of the Year by Diversity Magazine.
Through it all, Jesse makes it his top priority to give back to his community. Jesse works with various annual charity fundraisers and partnerships in his home base of Edmonton.
This week Dr. Jody and Jesse chat all about Jesse's life, where he came from and also why he doesn't actually know where that is, his amazing family and where his career has taken him. This episode will make you think and leave you inspired.

Everyone Comes from Somewhere but not Everyone Knows Where:  Jesse Lipscombe

Evan is more than his abilities as an ultra runner—he's a proud partner, father, friend, and former emergency services professional. His journey into ultra running began in 2017, a pivotal shift from a two-decade career that left him broken but resilient.
In this episode Dr. Jody and Evan chat candidly about PTSD and how working in the first responder world really is. Evan tells us how running (amongst other work) helped save him.
After years of selfless service, he confronted his struggles with PTSD, anxiety, and depression. Through intensive therapy and countless miles on the trail, he found healing and purpose. He no longer ran away; he ran towards joy, showing others that there's always a path forward. Sharing his story is both terrifying and empowering, but it's through vulnerability that true strength emerges. Together, let's break the silence, embrace shared experiences, and remind each other that it's okay not to be okay.
