Life like Jake with Jake Thomas

Episode 109: Life Like Jake (Part 1: Walking Through Life’s Valleys)

A junkie, a drunkard, a super-consumer of everything and everyone that would take him away from reality. That is how our guest Jake Thomas describes himself. Now he is the founder of LIFE LIKE JAKE and is coaching people via his elite mindset training program.

Jake’s journey through some tough and dark times is what I like to call the “rise and then fall of a United States Marine.” Jake shares his experience from a top rated US Marine to his downward spiral after leaving the structure and familiarity of the military. Faced with trying to figure out his life path that didn’t fit typical family and social norms, he loses himself in alcohol and drugs. He shares his struggles finding his path and how he overcame bad habits and scaled his own mountain to success.

Now he is giving back what he has learned, helping others through his coaching program LIFE LIKE JAKE.

His story of hardship and struggle was so important to share in full context that we made this a full episode but next week will be Part 2 where we really get into the nitty gritty of his coaching program and methods. Stay tuned and come back next week!

Episode 111:

Welcome to PART 2 of Life Like Jake where we continue from last weeks’ interview. Our guest is Jake Thomas, a self professed “ex” and recovered junkie, drunkard, super-consumer of everything and everyone that would take him away from reality. Now he is the founder of LIFE LIKE JAKE and is coaching people via his elite mindset training program.

This week Jake walks us through his coaching mindset. The pillars and foundation he believes are needed to obtain a healthy and sustainable life. We cover the basics of life: air, water, food and sleep. We touch on how the kings of ancient wisdom are known for following some basic principles that are eternally effective: long walks, fasting and introspection.

Jake is a firm believer in the power of the subconscious mind, principle over pleasure and a life of discipline via subtraction.

And how can we not go down the rabbit hole of diet!!?
He shares his experience as a vegan competitive bodybuilder versus switching to Carnivore based living.

Listen to his success story and how he describes becoming the mentor for himself that he never had. Jake is coaching others to be the best they can be, helping people climb their own mountain of struggles with his guidance to the top!
