The Connection Compass episodes:

October 01, 2025Mental Health Doesn't Define Us, We Define Ourselves
Jack Nolan is one of the Northwest’s youngest and most inspiring motivational speakers on mental health, Jack. At just 19, Jack was diagnosed with bipolar, but instead of letting that define him, he chose a different path: one of self-discovery, growth, and using his voice to inspire others.
In this conversation, Jack shares the pivotal moments of his journey, from being sectioned at 19, to diving into personal development at an early age, to finding glimpses of his authentic self in unexpected places. We explore what it means to trust the journey even when the path ahead isn’t clear, why mental health doesn’t define us, and how Jack has turned his passion into a mission to help others.
This is a story of resilience, energy, and the power of every conversation to create change
In this episode we discuss
Jacks experience of being sectioned at 19 years old
His experience of personal development at a young age and how this impacted his experience
