“Your energy introduces you before you do.”

Jake Turner launches his podcast with Alan Coppock…a creative force who walked up to him in church because of a vibe…and changed the day’s destiny. From building custom synths for Kanye West’s team, to surviving a freak accident that nearly blinded him, to learning love’s hardest lessons through divorce, Alan’s story proves that fate, faith, and resilience can turn setbacks into setups.

Alan isn’t just part artist and part inventor…he’s a living example of what happens when pain fuels creativity. From Iowa’s first techno band to founding LumiFX, his custom gear now inspires some of the biggest names in music. But behind the innovation is a man shaped by brokenness, rebuilt by faith, and guided by the same principles Jake lives by: built through discipline, fueled by love, guided by God.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• How a random MTV video as a teenager gave Alan the mindset that still drives him today.
• Why repairing vintage synths for legendary artists turned into designing instruments of the future.
• The near-death accident that forced him to rebuild not just his eye, but his perspective.
• The raw lessons divorce taught him about love, vulnerability, and showing up with care.
• How fate, faith, and energy continue to shape the way he creates and lives.

This is more than a conversation…it’s a reminder that your setbacks are setups, your energy is your introduction, and your purpose is waiting if you’re bold enough to step into it.
