Transforming Pain Into Purpose & Becoming a Hero In Your Home | Jay Millar
How can we use pain to propel us toward a more fulfilling future and a better world?
I’m here today with Jay Millar, who overcame a childhood marked by domestic violence and alcoholism and went on to become an Army veteran, a first-generation college graduate with degrees in Physics and an MBA, founder of My Virtual Dad and Confident Man Enterprises, and author of Be a Hero In Your Home: The Ultimate Playbook For Men to Succeed at Home, Work, & Life.
In this inspiring conversation, Jay reflects on how he transformed a difficult upbringing into an extraordinary passion for helping young men achieve greatness. Together, we explore how pain can lead to a greater understanding of our purpose, how we can learn to embody true confidence, and why an understanding of ourselves and others is essential to creating a brighter future. We also examine the common challenges faced by young people today — from mental health and shifting gender roles to the importance of faith — and discuss how fostering spaces for honest, vulnerable connection can make a profound difference in our home and in our world.
