Hello ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to “How to Be a Grownup Podcast”! My name is Erik Andress, I created this show to help you to understand that you have a birthright to be healthy, happy and live an extraordinary life.

Today, I am so excited and profoundly grateful to be able to sit down with the power author, motivator, speaker, and business strategist Jake Ducey! Jake is easily one of the most friendly, genuine and wholly compassionate people I have ever had the privilege of speaking with. He brings TONS of actionable information and compassionate guidance to you over the course of our conversation! I am so excited for you to hear it!

Some stuff we cover over the course of the episode:
-How did Jake begin his journey towards being the compassionate teacher to the world that he is now?
-What are some of the first steps that Jake would suggest you could take to begin your work towards becoming a person that embodies positive and loving energy?

-What does Jake believe makes a grownup of substance?
-And so much more!

A bit of housekeeping: This is a labor of love for me, I do not make a dime off of this podcast! If you could please hit "subscribe" on the podcast app of your choice and leave a positive review for us on iTunes, it would really help me to spread the amazing wisdom shared by my great guests to as many young people as possible.

Secondly, if you or somebody that you know is making a positive effect in the lives of young people, I would love to hear from you! Please email me at [email protected], and let me know if we could chat!

I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed having the conversation! Let's learn how to be a grownup!
