This isn’t just a conversation. This is a mission.
A mission to break the silence, to shatter the stigma around mental health, and to remind men everywhere: you’re not alone.

In this raw and powerful episode of Strong Mind Strong Body, we open the door to a conversation most men never have — but desperately need. Kevin shares the pain of losing his son, the weight of showing up while carrying grief, and how that pain became a purpose. Firefighter and mental health advocate Jacob dives into his journey from suicidal thoughts to building a brotherhood of support and healing.

You’ll hear real stories — from overcoming addiction and imposter syndrome, to ditching intense fitness fads in favor of consistent daily growth. You’ll hear how vulnerability becomes strength… and how leading from the front starts with looking inward.

This is for the men who are tired of pretending.
This is for the men who want more — more peace, more purpose, more strength.

Inside this episode:

• The power of safe spaces for men to speak the truth

• Rebuilding from loss, pain, and suicidal thoughts

• Why consistency beats the 75-day sprints every time

• The mission to rewrite mental health for the next generation

• How leadership starts with personal responsibility and community

Whether you're in the fire, on the edge, or already rising — this episode will meet you there.
