On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Jake Kennington. a licensed structural engineer turned performance coach. to unpack what it really means to redefine success when the resume looks great but life feels off. Jake shares how he moved from billion-dollar projects to Actively Human, his coaching brand for mid-career professionals who want alignment, energy, and relationships that actually work. We cover identity shifts, burnout recovery, delegation, and a practical cadence to rebuild habits fast. If you’re juggling career growth, family, and health. this is your blueprint for a life that performs on the inside and looks good on the outside.
About the guest :
Jake Kennington is a licensed structural engineer who has led high-pressure projects. including $100M builds. After realizing his definition of success no longer fit his life as a husband and father of four. he re-engineered his path. Today he runs Actively Human, helping professionals realign goals, restore relationships, and reclaim health.
Key takeaways :
Redefine success per season. Your values change across life phases. clarity beats autopilot.
Identity drives outcomes. Adopt the identity first. then behaviors follow. “I am a healthy person. so I make healthy choices.”
Jake’s REDAC method.Redefine success. Realign actions. Reconnect with self and loved ones. run this over 8 weeks for traction.
Leadership shift beats tactics. Many founders fail from clinging to the IC identity. step into the CEO hat. delegate. and lead through others.
Case study. A client working 70+ hours weekly for years regained margin by test-driving time off. trusting the team. then planning a full week away.
Design for uncertainty. Like earthquake-ready structures. resilient lives are built on engaged work and meaningful relationships. keep both top-tier.
Simple daily lever. Take a 30-minute distraction-free walk. ask. “What does success look like for me in this phase of life.” write the answer.
Entrepreneurship without chaos. You can transition gradually. e.g., reduce salaried days and ramp the mission business with clear guardrails.
Systems over sprints. Restore sleep, movement, and presence blocks on the calendar. protect relationship time like a client meeting.
