Welp…It’s taken 9 months to get pseudo on-track with the NOW updates. So, here we are. Lot’s of things going on with even more moving parts. Thanks for indulging me, and even more so for keeping me accountable.
With all the Covid, election, and environmental craziness going on, it’s been wild out here! I’m sure we’ll all reflect next year and get some nice takeaways. That said, between my eye falling out (I’ll write about that), Covid, being unemployed since August 1st, putting my dog Phillie down, and other family stuff, this year has been crazy.
Any kind of hardship intensifies and amplifies people’s values and personality. This has put put me at the top of my values and personality lol – seriously though, the tactics and strategies I’ve been using have been getting more and more clear toward my mission to relay joy, love, and enrichment.
With nothing more ado, being on unemployment, here is what I’m doing now:
Unemployment barely pays the rent. So, I liquidated my retirement accounts to pay off most of my debts and create a cushion through the end of year. This does a few things: 1) give time and space to find the next opportunity that better suits my mission, 2) allow me to not be salary-dependent on the next opportunity (meaning, I don’t have to make XXXXXXX money as a salary to pay the bills. Instead I can make XXXX), and 3) give me time to learn, explore, grow, heal, and nourish.
I was brought into a group (VentLife) where we set out to get a novel, clinically viable, low-cost mechanical ventilator to market – granting more access to life saving equipment in the US and abroad. It’s been an amazing journey! We created the non-profit, VentLife, and a for-profit, CoreVent, because we were unclear about how raising money for a device that was not meant to make money for us would effectively be accomplished. It’s been VERY difficult to raise money for production and FDA testing. We went through 2 regional I-Corps programs (by the NSF, LA and NY), went though an incubator program through UC’s Innovation Hub (1819), won some awards, and got some great press, yet the funds continue to elude us. In any case, I built out a merchandise income stream for VentLife, so I’ve been peddling the goods in an attempt to help us save some lives now, and in the future. Check it out here: https://www.ventlife.org/store
Learning – I worked with a company called Eureka Ranch to get their Blue Belt Certification program in Innovation Engineering on the approved vendors list for the Kentucky Career Center. So, I’ll be going through that training as soon as KY opens up their unemployment training funds, and I’m really excited about it.
Research – Brian Bailey and I have been doing research on decision making and prioritizing. We’re taking the qualitative responses to standardized questions we’ve developed (based on hypothesis), then running them through a tool we built to turn them into quantitative data. We’re then using that data for a couple things: 1) to test our hypothesis and, 2) to write a paper about our findings. If you have a moment, please fill out our questionnaire to build the data set.
Ambassador – I was asked by a family-run, super high quality, and integrity-centered CBD company ( based out of CA), to be an ambassador for them. They have tons of ethically-, and quality-, based certifications, and I’m really happy to represent them
CSHL – I’ve been working with the media team to develop a monthly newsletter that will help connect the group, leadership, community, and players. It will highlight the transparency of the organization and drive income to the mission of “Community engagement through the game of hockey and contributing toward the improvement of local public spaces.” You can sign up for the newsletter here
I’ve partnered with the development company building the new JR Greene complex to operate fitness training through the gym they’re building there. We created the gym layout, equipment, and business plan (with pandemics in mind) for them, and are working on an operational contract now. My brother, Jon, mom, and I will be offering personal, and class-style, training out of their top class gym. I’ve already started working with some people on creating life-systems (habits) that promote cyclical benefits in personal power. More info to come.
Soon I will be producing products through this website such as courses, workout/meal/lifestyle plans, books, and merchandise. Also, I’ve started the process of building out the KleinHaus brand, and companies, which I’m extremely excited about. Stay tuned!
Our family is growing, so I’m constantly doing my best to adapt to that, be present with those I’m around (in whatever I’m doing), and do GOOD.
Because of my lack of income through all of these things, I’ve created a pretty wild budget (kind of proud of it lol), but I’m continuing to look for the next opportunity. I’ve narrowed in on seeking jobs in the strategy, innovation, or consulting worlds as I believe they best help me meet my mission, they’re exciting to me, and I believe I can have the most effective impact. So, if you know of anything/anyone where we might be able to have some mutual benefits, please put us in touch! Also, I’m looking into importing and selling coffee that my friend from Peru grows deep, and high-up, in the Andes. Anyone interested in building an amazing family-run, story-branded, coffee company?
Doggonit! Finishing the Peru story. It’s already huge (10k words or so), so it might end up being my first book 🙂 .
PS. I’ve created a habit-tracking board to keep disciplined motivation up, and the habits include:
Working out
Shaving, cold shower, breath work
Journaling, studying stoicism
Stretching
Meditating
Writing 250+ words
Org. work for VentLife, Elemental CBD, & KleinHaus
I work on these every day, pencil-in marks on the calendar, and feel rewarded when I step back and look at it. How did I get to these being the habits I focus on? Welp, lot’s of years of exploring what works best for me. It isn’t perfect, and it’s ever-evolving, so it is a practice.
Finally, some side-notes: I’ve made a concerted effort to take a walk every day, get into nature more consistently, see my family more, eat healthier, and get floating over at Think Tank Flotation consistently (and recommend trying it out for sure!).
Hey, thanks for spending time with me! As always, if you think we could have a mutually beneficial conversation, please reach out at any time. I’m very responsive.
Stay well. Stay powerful.
Best,
Jason

Virtually all of the things you articulate is supprisingly appropriate and that makes me ponder why I hadn’t looked at this in this light previously. This article really did turn the light on for me as far as this specific issue goes. But there is actually one particular factor I am not necessarily too comfy with and whilst I attempt to reconcile that with the core idea of your point, permit me observe exactly what all the rest of your subscribers have to say.Very well done.
Nice post. I learn something new and challenging on blogs I stumbleupon every day. It will always be helpful to read content from other writers and practice a little something from their websites.

Thanks for your write-up. One other thing is always that individual states in the United states of america have their particular laws in which affect people, which makes it quite difficult for the our elected representatives to come up with a different set of recommendations concerning foreclosure on homeowners. The problem is that each state has own legislation which may have interaction in a negative manner on the subject of foreclosure guidelines.

First off I want to say wonderful blog! I had a quick question that I’d like to ask if you don’t mind. I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your mind before writing. I have had a hard time clearing my mind in getting my thoughts out. I do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are wasted just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or tips? Thank you!

I have been surfing online more than three hours lately, yet I never found any fascinating article like yours. It’s lovely value enough for me. In my opinion, if all webmasters and bloggers made just right content as you did, the net will probably be much more useful than ever before.
Nice blog here! Also your site lots up fast! What host are you using? Can I am getting your associate link in your host? I want my website loaded up as fast as yours lol
Normally I do not read article on blogs, however I wish to say that this write-up very pressured me to take a look at and do so! Your writing taste has been amazed me. Thank you, quite great article.
My brother suggested I would possibly like this website. He used to be totally right. This submit actually made my day. You cann’t believe just how so much time I had spent for this information! Thank you!
I blog frequently and I genuinely appreciate your content. The article has really peaked my interest. I will book mark your site and keep checking for new information about once a week. I subscribed to your RSS feed as well.

Mega Drop Jackpots can be won randomly on this Betway Casino slot. The amount in any of the pots set back to the original figure when someone claims it.

Thanks to the simple visualization and intuitive setup, gambling enthusiasts can quickly find a comfortable style of play that will help bring the desired winnings closer. The slot has a number of special characters that maximize the amount of winnings and allow you to spin the reels without spending credit. The Wizard of Oz: Ruby Slippers demo is a complete analog of the game without cutting features. You can try out the demo version as a practice and evaluate the level of returns or winnings. While the original Wizard of Oz slot had very poor graphics compared to video slots released nowadays, thankfully those in Ruby Slippers are significantly better which highlights WMS taking the feedback of players on board. There are many game play options available to gamers and that includes Glinda the Good Witch and use Wizard of Oz Ruby Slippers, Tin Man’s Axe, and Munchkin Lolipops to navigate through complex puzzles along the online slot game. This makes the casino slot game unique among other alternatives available in the market.
Today, I went to the beachfront with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!
Hi there, I log on to your blogs like every week. Your writing style is awesome, keep doing what you’re doing!
I think the admin of this site is really working hard in favor of his site, since here every information is quality based data.
It’s truly very complex in this busy life to listen news on TV, so I only use internet for that purpose, and take the most recent news.
Ahaa, its nice conversation concerning this piece of writing here at this webpage, I have read all that, so now me also commenting here.
Do you have a spam issue on this site; I also am a blogger, and I was wanting to know your situation; many of us have created some nice procedures and we are looking to trade solutions with other folks, be sure to shoot me an e-mail if interested.
I needed to thank you for this fantastic read!! I definitely enjoyed every little bit of it. I’ve got you book-marked to check out new stuff you post?
