Jon opens up about going bankrupt twice, his health battles, and the personal shame that came with them. He shares how stepping away from business left him more lost than ever, and how it forced him to take a hard look inward. Through SHADOWBOXING™ Mastery, he began to see the parts of himself he used to be ashamed of, not just as problems, but as strengths that needed refining, not rejecting.

In this episode we explore the dark side of perfectionism and the high cost of success, the hidden emotional weight of chronic illness and masculine stigma, how stillness, surfing, and shadow work opened the door to real self-acceptance, and finally, why so many high-achievers lose themselves without a mission - and how to rebuild one from within.

Whether you're an entrepreneur, a creator, or someone navigating your own version of rock bottom, this episode is a testament to the power of introspection, purpose, and emotional courage.

If you’re curious about SHADOWBOXING™ and the transformation it offers, Jon’s story is living proof of what’s possible when you stop running from your shadow, and learn to fight with it, not against it.
