For a lot of us, the future is a daunting prospect. 

The pressure that comes with figuring out what we want to do, particularly for young people, is so overwhelming and if those feelings aren’t addressed in the right ways, it can lead to self-doubt, lack of trust in our own abilities, and can even alter our perception towards ourselves. Fortunately, these pressing questions don’t have to be answered all at once, despite how it may feel. There are so many pathways out there for those who didn’t fit into academic systems or traditional workspaces and it’s so important that we bring these to the forefront.    

Joining me on the show today is someone who has carved out their own path in life and redefined their own personal standards, Jake Ballentine! Jake is a message-driven entrepreneur and Founder of the ‘Speakers, Authors and Coaches Network’, a community dedicated to helping others build on their business goals and create a positive impact on the world. In this episode, we discuss how Jake’s organization came to be, why mentorship was so integral in helping him see his own capabilities, and how the challenges he faced during school led him to where he is today.
