Episode 1: I Don't Know What I'm Doing
Manage episode 490623372 series 3673577
Content note: This episode includes reflections on personal struggle and emotional hardship. Please listen with care if you’re in a sensitive place.
On his 42nd birthday, Jacob hits record for the first time — not as a guru, but as a fellow human navigating burnout, financial hardship, and spiritual awakening.
In this vulnerable debut of Standing Nowhere — a podcast about mindfulness, personal growth, and the human experience — he shares the raw story behind the mic:
• Why he left the corporate world and walked away from sales
• Surviving poverty, debt, and starting over in Arizona
• Working 60-hour weeks as a delivery driver
• The moment of surrender that sparked a deeper trust in life
If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of your path, this is for you. No advice, no platitudes — just presence, reflection, and the beginning of a conversation about what it really means to wake up.
