The Jake Turner Podcast

The Jake Turner Podcast Ep. 23 ft. Jeff Holst

Most people think extraordinary lives come from extraordinary circumstances.

More money. More opportunities. More luck.

But what if the real difference between ordinary and extraordinary isn’t circumstance at all...it’s the decisions you make when life forces you to wake up?

In this episode, Jake sits down with Jeff Holst, entrepreneur, investor, author, and global traveler who went from bankruptcy and leukemia to financial freedom, world travel, and a philosophy he calls “No Bad Days.”

Jeff shares how a life-threatening diagnosis forced him to confront the illusion of “someday,” why waiting for certainty keeps most people stuck, and how radical responsibility can completely reshape how you experience life.

What began as survival turned into a blueprint for living intentionally, taking action before you feel ready, and designing a life that is anything but ordinary.

They explore the difference between analysis and action, the power of identity statements, and how mindset determines whether pain becomes a turning point or a permanent story. Jeff also reveals the framework behind his “extraordinary life formula,” why experiences matter more than possessions, and how one decision can change the trajectory of your entire future.

This conversation moves through risk, resilience, purpose, mindset, identity,action, travel, perspective, and the philosophy that changed Jeff’s life forever.

This episode isn’t about waiting for the right moment.It’s about realizing the moment is already here.

The Jake Turner Podcast Ep. 22 ft. Brandon Thielk

Burnout doesn’t start with exhaustion.

It starts with an identity you never questioned.

Most high performers think more discipline is the answer. Push harder, work longer, stay tougher. But what if the real problem isn’t your output, it’s the silent wound driving you to prove yourself in the first place?

In this episode, Jake sits down with Brandon Thielk, a performance coach who helps entrepreneurs and executives uncover the emotional patterns fueling their success. On the surface, it looks like strategy and achievement. Underneath, it’s childhood wiring, internal pressure, and the belief that you must earn your worth through results.

Brandon breaks down why high performers burn out even when things are going well, why the “not enough” mindset runs deeper than people admit, and how identity quietly shapes every win, every habit, and every self-sabotaging cycle. Jake challenges him on discipline, detachment, clarity, and the real cost of performing from a wounded place.

This conversation moves through emotional patterns, subconscious identity, achievement wounds, self-protection, clarity, leadership, confidence, and the turning point that happens when you stop proving and start healing.

This episode isn’t about working harder.

It’s about finally understanding what’s driving you.

Together, they discuss:
• Why high performers burn out even when life looks good
• The hidden wound behind achievement
• How identity shapes discipline
• Why you can’t outwork internal stories
• The difference between drive and pressure
• How self-sabotage hides in success
• What happens when your strengths become your weaknesses
• The shift from proving to leading
• Rebuilding confidence from the inside out

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right but still feel empty or stuck, this conversation will make sense of the parts you’ve been ignoring.

The Jake Turner Podcast Ep. 21 ft. Dr. Godwin Chishala

Comfort is supposed to feel loving.

Safety. Protection. Giving your kids everything you didn’t have.

But what if the real damage happens when you remove every struggle from their path?

In this episode, Jake sits down with Dr. Godwin Chishala, CRNA, children’s book author, outreach leader, and father, to unpack what happens when parents choose standards over softness and service over comfort.

Dr. Godwin has written more than fifteen children’s books, mentors families, and regularly takes kids to serve the homeless so they understand gratitude, dignity, and perspective. On the surface, it looks like creativity and kindness. Underneath, it’s structure, discipline, faith, and intentional leadership at home.

They explore why comfort-first parenting weakens resilience, how lowering standards erodes character, and why children don’t accidentally become strong. The conversation moves through time stewardship, identity, storytelling, discipline, service, purpose, and the responsibility of leading your children instead of outsourcing them to culture.

Dr. Godwin shares his framework for writing children’s books that stick, how to provoke emotion without preaching, and why imagination is one of the most underused developmental tools. Jake challenges him on success, fulfillment, and the difference between money and meaning, leading to a deeper conversation about calling and what truly shapes a child’s future.

This episode isn’t about parenting hacks. It’s about responsibility, the standards you model, and the daily habits forming the next generation.

Together, they discuss:
• Why comfort-first parenting sabotages resilience
• How standards create leaders
• Turning awareness into consistent action
• Why success is fulfillment, not income
• The emotional science behind stories that last
• How service reshapes entitlement in children
• When strengths become weaknesses
• Why detours redirect you toward purpose
• Building character through daily discipline

If you’re raising confident, disciplined, purpose-driven kids in a distracted world, this conversation is your reminder that strength starts at home.

The Jake Turner Podcast Ep. 20 ft. Tommy Pohlman

Momentum is supposed to feel exciting. Growth. Freedom. Building something of your own. But what if the real shift happens the day you realize no one is coming to save you?

In this episode, Jake sits down with Tommy Pohlman, founder of Nashville-based Mad Local Media, to unpack what changes when you remove the safety net and take full responsibility for your life and business.

Tommy went from zero to $20,000 a month in eight months, grew a TikTok following past 100,000 in weeks, lived in ten states in seven years, signed with three modeling agencies, and dropped out of college without a fallback plan. What looked like bold momentum was actually discomfort, rejection, skill-building, and learning to sell without shame.

They break down why people avoid sales because it feels personal, how chaos becomes addictive when identity is unclear, and why removing Plan B forces clarity. The conversation moves through entrepreneurship, social media volatility, validation, anxiety, self-worth, alcohol, purpose, and maturity.

Tommy explains how real estate media became leverage in Nashville, why skill stacking can outperform traditional paths, and how burning the backup plan raised his standards. Jake challenges his internal “not enough” belief, leading to a raw coaching moment about peace and ownership.

This episode is about responsibility, discipline, and the psychological shift that happens when you stop waiting and start creating.

Together, they discuss:
• Shame around selling
• Removing the safety net
• Social growth vs real skill
• Why moving cities won’t fix you
• Turning anxiety into energy
• The illusion of “if they wanted to”
• Skill stacking as leverage
• Chaos and self-worth
• Alcohol and lost momentum
• Ownership before life forces it

If you are waiting for confidence or permission, this episode is your reminder that momentum begins when you accept it is on you.

The Jake Turner Podcast Ep. 19 ft. Robert Hartline

Success is supposed to be the finish line.

Freedom. Flexibility. Finally slowing down.

But what if the moment you “win” is the moment you realize you traded away something you can’t get back?

In this episode, Jake sits down with Robert Hartline, entrepreneur, EOS implementer, and founder of multiple businesses, to unpack what success quietly takes away when identity, energy, and alignment slip out of sync.

Robert spent decades building and scaling a multi-state company before exiting. On paper, it looked like the dream. Underneath was exhaustion, disconnection, and constant chaos instead of clarity.

They explore how alcohol and overstimulation erode judgment, why fear and ego often disguise themselves as strategy, and how leadership breaks down when energy is depleted. The conversation moves through sobriety, regret, identity loss, money, team dependency, and the invisible cost of never slowing down enough to listen.

Robert shares how sobriety restored intuition and presence, how exhaustion led to one of the most expensive decisions of his life, and why learning to lead from calm changed everything...in business and at home.

This episode isn’t about failure.

It’s about the hidden cost of winning, the danger of mistaking motion for meaning, and the discipline required to build success without abandoning yourself.

Together, they discuss:

• What success quietly takes away from you
• The emotional crash that follows an exit
• How alcohol drains clarity and leadership presence
• Fear and ego masquerading as strategy
• Exhaustion as the root of costly decisions
• Creating ownership instead of dependency
• Sobriety as a leadership advantage
• Identity loss after achievement
• Calm energy as a competitive edge

If you’ve achieved more than you imagined but still feel unsettled...this conversation will help you rethink what winning is actually supposed to feel like.

The Jake Turner Podcast Ep. 18 ft. Jim Poirier

Retirement is supposed to be the finish line.

Freedom. Relief. Finally slowing down.

But what if the moment you stop working is the moment you realize you were never meant to stop building?

In this episode, Jake sits down with Jim Poirier, a Marine veteran, engineer, and longtime mentor, to unpack what really happened when Jim retired at 49...and why the word retirement itself turned out to be a lie.

Jim grew up learning discipline the hard way, joined the United States Marine Corps at 18, and spent years building a successful career across engineering, finance, and artificial intelligence. On paper, he did everything right. But beneath the stability was a growing question about purpose, faith, and what it actually means to live a meaningful life.

They explore how faith becomes real when it’s tested, why leadership is built by treating people like humans instead of machines, and how brotherhood, integrity, and ownership shape a man long after the uniform comes off. The conversation moves through work, money, anger, marriage, trust, and the quiet cost of doing what you have to do instead of what you’re called to do.

Jim also shares how a simple coaching conversation pushed him to reinvent his life, why he walked away from corporate success, and how building a veteran owned woodworking business became a way to serve again...this time on his own terms.

This episode isn’t about quitting early.

It’s about choosing purpose over comfort, reinvention over drifting, and responsibility over autopilot.

Together, they discuss:

• Why retirement can quietly drain purpose
• Faith tested through pressure and uncertainty
• What the Marine Corps builds that never leaves
• Leadership through example, not authority
• Treating people like humans, not machines
• Money as a tool instead of a cage
• Reinvention after corporate life
• Brotherhood, trust, and integrity
• Marriage as alignment, not convenience
• Building something that actually matters

If you’ve done everything right but still feel unsettled...this conversation will help you rethink what winning actually looks like.

The Jake Turner Podcast Ep. 17 ft. Danny Seliger

Most people don’t notice when it starts.

They think they’re winning…leveling up…doing what they’re supposed to do.

But quietly, the chase for status begins costing them strength, clarity, and peace.

In this episode, Jake sits down with Danny Seliger, founder of Brand Sharks, to unpack how status slowly weakens people…and what actually fixes it.

Danny walked away from perfect grades and a Division 1 volleyball scholarship to pursue a path that felt truer but far less certain. What followed wasn’t hype or overnight success…it was discipline, loss, hard lessons, and a relentless commitment to standards over appearances.

They break down why chasing approval erodes confidence, how congruence creates real strength, and why many high performers confuse momentum with meaning. The conversation moves through money, burnout, social media, trust, gratitude, and the pressure to prove instead of build.

Danny shares what it took to grow from 0 to 100,000 followers in five months, why attention becomes leverage, and why growing online is often easier than building something that doesn’t own you. He also opens up about losing everything twice and how those failures reshaped how he evaluates people and opportunities.

This episode isn’t about grinding harder.

It’s about cutting noise, raising your standard, and becoming harder to manipulate…harder to distract…harder to pull off your path.

Together, they discuss:

• Why chasing status quietly makes people weaker
• Standards vs perfectionism
• Worthiness vs entitlement
• When entrepreneurship helps…and when it hurts
• Social media as leverage, not identity
• Trust and discernment after betrayal
• Congruence, discipline, and real confidence

If you’ve been winning on paper but feel weaker internally…this conversation will recalibrate you.

Most people trust the system. Very few know what to do when it fails them.

Dr. Ashton Totty was told she might never walk again. Swollen joints, debilitating pain, years of misdiagnosis, and a rare autoimmune storm left her barely able to stand...let alone practice medicine. Instead of surrendering to the prognosis, she chose a harder path built on faith, grit, and a refusal to be reduced to a diagnosis.

In this episode, Jake sits down with Dr. Ashton Totty, a chiropractor and acupuncturist whose life changed when she became the patient herself. This is a grounded conversation about healing, calling, integrity, and confronting pain from the inside out.

Ashton shares how discovering she was half blind as a child reshaped her perspective, then walks through 2019, when a rare virus and autoimmune collapse stripped her strength, and how she rebuilt through rehab, holistic tools, movement, and relentless mindset.

They challenge the modern lies of healing...that time alone fixes everything and that masking symptoms solves the problem. Ashton explains why healing requires a plan, why movement matters, and why the future of medicine may depend on integration, not opposition.

This episode is for anyone who has felt dismissed, stuck in survival mode, or unsure how to advocate for their own healing.

Together, they discuss:

• Refusing a “never walk again” prognosis
• Surviving vs truly healing
• Holistic and conventional medicine working together
• Movement, mindset, and rebuilding trust in your body
• Integrity, leadership, and daily planning

Most people want success. Very few are willing to live by the standard it requires.

Taylor Hale didn’t build his business through shortcuts, luck, or viral moments. He built it the slow way…working nights in his driveway, water freezing on the car before he could finish a wash, questioning if it would ever pay off. What carried him forward wasn’t motivation. It was standards.

In this episode, Jake sits down with Taylor Hale, founder of Hale’s Performance Detailing, to talk about what separates the best. This is a conversation about discipline, craftsmanship, attention to detail, and the quiet decisions that compound over time.

Taylor shares what it was like working a decade for someone else before betting on himself, realizing he couldn’t keep playing small, and why cutting corners always costs more. From dirt bikes to detailing cars, from reputation to identity, this conversation shows how excellence is built when no one is watching.

They explore why pride in your work matters, how consistency creates confidence, and why success has less to do with talent and more to do with standards you refuse to compromise.

This episode is for anyone building something slowly, questioning their pace, or wondering if the effort they’re putting in today will matter.

Together, they discuss:

• The standard that separates professionals from amateurs
• Why obsession with details creates long-term success
• The cost of inaction and waiting too long to bet on yourself
• Discipline, consistency, and working when no one is watching
• Turning pride in your craft into a reputation that speaks for you
• Why success is built through identity, not income

If you’re serious about building something that lasts…this conversation will challenge you to raise your standards and stay there.

Most conversations about plastic surgery stay on the surface.

In this episode, Jake sits down with Dr. Spiros Lazarou, a board-certified plastic, reconstructive, and craniomaxillofacial surgeon, to explore what people are really searching for when they try to change what they see in the mirror. What begins as a conversation about confidence becomes a deeper discussion about fear, self-awareness, faith, and the pressure of image in modern culture.

Dr. Lazarou has seen the full spectrum…from life-changing pediatric reconstruction to the darker side of perfection culture. He explains why motivation matters more than the procedure, why the mirror can become a dangerous counselor, and how image-based living trains people into anxiety and comparison.

This is a philosophical conversation about beauty, power, money, freedom, and what real confidence is built on.

Together, they discuss:

• The “good reason” vs the “real reason” behind our obsession with appearance
• How fear of death shows up as perfectionism and control
• Why guilt becomes destructive in western culture
• The mirror effect and fixation on flaws
• Social media and the illusion of confidence
• Money, perceived value, and distorted relationships
• Why beauty cannot be separated from truth and goodness
• Faith, freedom, responsibility, and living for others

If you’ve ever felt pulled to “fix” something or questioned your relationship with appearance…this episode will change how you see it.
