At age 19, California surfer Jake Ducey left college to travel the world in search of deeper meaning. He recorded this life-changing journey in his book: “Into the Wind - My Six-Month Journey Wandering the World for Life's Purpose.” It explains Jake's profound transformation from a college dropout and substance abuser to inspirational author, motivational speaker and activist. Upon his return, Jake raised the funds to build a school and home in Guatemala to support orphans, and formed the non-profit organization, The Self Reliance Institute, devoted to providing essential resources and opportunities for young people to become more self-reliant. A certified yoga-instructor, poet and lyricist, Jake is determined to share his empowering messages to ignite and inspire a new generation of truth seekers.

If there is anyone who has a chance of changing the world, my money would be on this charismatic, heart-centered young man
