We sat down with our boy Jake for a chat we can’t wait for you all to hear 🎙️⚽️

We delved into his pro football experience after dealing injuries, his work with Suited and Booted & The Unlaced Podcast. We spoke about how far obsession can take you before it breaks you, why resilience can’t be taught but only lived, and what it means to let go of old identities to find new purpose.

Jake also opened up about his professional playing days, the ups and downs of Aussie football, and where he’s taking things next with his creative projects.

Enjoyyy!
