Raj K. Atlanta, Georgia

What was the obstacle that would have prevented you from investing in coaching?

The obstacle at first for me was money because I didn't have a job at the time. So, and with the market and COVID at that time, it was tough finding a job. So I think that was my biggest obstacle to start.

What did you find as a result of investing in coaching with Jason?

I found a new understanding of growth. And what I mean by that is, I think for a while, I felt like I was trying to do everything by myself, I was trying to feel like I had to make all the right decisions, I had to do everything, "right". But I kept feeling in my life that I'd come back to the same results, feeling scenarios over and over again. And so the result of coaching was actually a shift or a change in those results: me getting a job, me moving further in my spiritual development with meditation, just understanding how to come back to the present moment. So just overall, as a person growing and be able to handle those types of obstacles when they come in a much better manner than I would before I had coaching.

I think for me, I had the thought came to me like if I wanted to achieve something or have a different result, I have to do something differently. And I think the past me would have been like, "No, don't spend the money. You don't know what you're gonna get out of it." Kind of scared of that unknown factor or like, what if it doesn't work out? What if you don't get the things you think you're going to get out of it? So for me, it was a bit of a gamble at first, and just like, let's take a leap into something that we don't know, and see where it takes us, but ultimately, was one of the best decisions I've made.

One thing I know we harped on a lot was just going through it. What I mean by that is going through difficulties, feelings, struggles, setbacks. I think for me, a lot of my life I've been trying to avoid those types of feelings or judging those types of feelings. But I think for me, that was such a big area of growth as a person and just being able to handle what comes my way the setbacks, especially this year. And I don't think I could have done that without coaching or having a third-person perspective on my problems, being able to take me out of the equation, and trying to tell me, what's my ego? What are the hardcore reality and the facts of right now?

What specific features did you like most about Jason’s coaching process?

I think the Google Docs, being able to text you if something comes up - just having you kind of right there every day, every week as a communicator helped me a lot. Just knowing that if I needed feedback on something, whether it was a resume, a cover letter, a personal issue, I would get a response no later than I would even say just a couple hours in the same day, or that night. Which is great, because I don't feel like I had to sit on anything for too long without getting some kind of feedback on it. And then as time went on, I feel like those same issues came up, I was able to kind of handle it better myself, and didn't feel the urge as much to always reach out which I felt like at that point was growth. So I think that constant communication having you there was very helpful for me.

What were three benefits from working with Jason?

Number one was learning how to set a schedule. I know we call it time boxing. Just learning how to kind of set up my day for success, whether that's working on my job, finding time for spending time online with friends during COVID, or just trying to work out in my room or at the local gym or something, you know, very small, just being able to set up my day where I can feel like I can look back and say, I've accomplished X, Y, and Z today. And I don't think I was ever doing that before. I think I was judging myself on such a bigger scale that takes months to achieve but learning how to celebrate the little victories every day. Number two, biggest benefit: I'm a better interviewer. We did some interview work and I think I became a better communicator. Through all this, I learned how to talk about my experiences with work from the past, but in a way that isn't carrying on too long or boring someone. It's kind of just getting to what's the problem? What did I do? And what are the results? And I heard good feedback about it. And from it. And because of that, I feel like that's why I got a call back from the manager asking if I would take this open position because they like the way interview. And then the third benefit is learning how to have a little more trust in myself as a person. And like I mentioned earlier, but being able to handle obstacles and problems. Now if I get a bad feeling, if I'm struggling over my ex, or if I'm trying to figure out how to navigate and talk to recruiters and find a job, in the very beginning, I was so stressed out, and I'm sure you can attest to this, that I was feeling so burnt out so quickly. I was struggling with a lot of anxiety and until I dove into that anxiety and said, "This is where I'm at, this is kind of how it's going to be." The days came where it was tough but I was able to handle that with a lot more grace and be able to bounce back a lot quicker than I did in the beginning.

Would you recommend someone else work with Jason? If so, why?

Yes, I would. Because like you say, I'm 25. And you're about 52. You have pretty much doubled my lifetime's worth of experience. So whatever I've been through, or whatever my mind likes to believe that I'm the only one that's going through this, that's a lie. There's always someone that's been through it. And in my case, it was you know, you've been through pretty much everything that I've been through whether it was applying to jobs, or trying to find it, or working through personal issues with ex-girlfriends, or just trying to figure out life in general. I think a coach, like you, has experienced all those things. So I would recommend someone to you if you're trying to just understand and navigate your 20s especially - I didn't realize how tough it would be -it's a challenge. So I would recommend to coach for that if you're feeling that kind of way.

Is there anything you’d like to add?

I want to touch back on the money issue. I know that's such a touchy subject, I'm sure for a lot of people. Here's my take: I think it's worth it. I can understand people having financial issues now, more than ever, but just the personal growth and for me, getting a better job than I even initially interviewed for, I don't think those things happen without us coaching. Me redoing my resume, me reaching out to recruiters, me cold calling 5-10 people a day at my dream companies, I don't do those things by myself. So if money is the issue, I would encourage people to dig deep and ask what's the real reason why and it's usually because there's some sort of fear of failure, fear of not getting this result you want. But I can tell you that because coaching has encouraged me to go into that unknown. And because of that, I feel like I've come out much more mature and at least being able to handle the things that have been caused me a lot of issues for a while.

Will D. Bay Area, California

What was the obstacle that would have prevented you from investing in coaching?

I think money and finances had a big thing to do with it. It's a big leap for me. Had I not asked you about your past and your history, and what you had gone through, you know, with your father, and so forth, those details, I don't think I would have had as strong of a connection or compelled to work with you. Because I've, as I said, in my other testimony, I've been working hard at this for the past 13 years, and I couldn't turn the corner. And I knew that something wasn't right. And the fact that you could relate to me, was huge.

I think our first call was 2 almost 2 hours. It was more about me, but I just wasn't sure. Then at the end I asked what your history was. You told me about your past and it was very similar: you have a narcissistic father and I have a narcissistic mother. It's just a brutal upbringing that we had to survive through. So I was like, "Okay, well, if he understands that, because not a lot of people that I know, understand that, then maybe there's a chance he can help me out. I'm fighting as hard as I can to break out of this. Maybe he has some answers. Let's give it a shot."

What did you find as a result of investing in coaching with Jason?

One of the main things is your mind - how your mind lies to you. Your ego is there to keep you safe, and to know that you can go beyond that with a ton of courage, actually the most amount of courage you're going to need ever, at least in my life, but you can prove to yourself that those thoughts are not real and that you can actually detach yourself from that and then calmly, calm all the anxiety and then start to use your mind to ask yourself, "What do I want?" So number one, the mind even getting a glimpse to see how the mind works, and how I can start to use my mind to my advantage versus my whole life of having it be a disadvantage. Number two is to trust myself. Because I was doing scary things - I basically overcame my biggest darkest fear. That is what happened and I don't know anybody that wouldn't want to overcome their biggest darkest fear. So to be able to step into that and prove to myself that that fear is 100% false, it's only starting a chain reaction. See what else is false? What else have I made up in my life? And now I'm focusing on my business, which I have a limiting belief there too. I realized that I am a courageous person. I do have traits about myself when I do believe in myself. I needed to get someone to help me understand the mindset more so that I can take action towards that.

That the key to beating anxiety is to relax and be at peace with myself versus striving or what you would call, Jason, white-knuckling. And all these things that we've been taught in the past: to try harder; put more effort in; bang your head against the wall; keep going; don't give up on yourself. Yes, that is good to have that within you, but in terms of anxiety, I believe it's absolutely the worst thing. It just makes it worse.

What specific features did you like most about Jason’s coaching process?

Definitely, the Google Docs to be able to journal my thoughts. And then getting your feedback on a consistent basis. Like I said, in my testimonial, the reason I believe I had such fast progress is that I was able to talk to you multiple times. And sometimes when I was lucky, multiple times in a day.? I know that that wasn't part of the agreement that you would respond that often, but you did. Had I only talk to you maybe once a week, it'd probably taken me six months to a year to get to where I got to in two months. I was willing to put in the work every day; it was my main focus. I love that I love the fact that you (I don't know if this was a question about features) but I just love the fact that you had integrity. I've told you in the past that I did have a dating coach who didn't have the same amount of integrity that you did. And the thing is with me is that I knew the level of commitment that I was coming in with this. I knew that if you were really going to try to help me, I was going to be as good of a student as possible. So I appreciate the integrity of you doing what you said you were going to do. Yeah, so that's, that's the two biggest things that I appreciate.

What were three benefits from working with Jason?

I would say the first thing is understanding that my emotions and my mind are not me. Which is a crazy thing to say. Like two months ago, before I met you, there's no way I would have said that I would have been like, "What are you smoking? Like, you're gonna tell me my mind is not my mind. And my emotions are not part of me. Like, I don't think we should work together. He's got off his rocker." The second part is to realize that there is a lot more out there in terms of a way to live. I'm questioning how else can I live now that I'm not attached to - well, I'm working on not being attached to my ego - ego, thoughts, and also, more importantly, my emotions. That's also what I learned from you, too. I don't know if you know this, because, uh, you my emotions are actually thoughts. And that hit me like a ton of bricks. So the fact that emotions are really thoughts, and I wouldn't have known that. Actually what I'm realizing is they're the more important thoughts. Because emotion, what is it? It's just really thoughts that are so strong and causes a reaction in your nervous system right in your body. What anxiety is, is, it's your thoughts in your head. They're clashing with your body, your emotions, and something's not right. Your mind is saying, "I should go speak to this woman. This is what I want to do." But my body's saying, "Get out of there run. Like you're not safe." So that's the second thing that you taught me while coaching with you is that I need to pay attention more to my emotions. And now that's led to me thinking about what I want. And when I do want that, I need to feel the emotions of things that I want. It's mind-blowing, mind-blowing. The third thing is just knowing that I can apply now these lessons to other parts of my life and, and every time I feel this anxiety or fear, it's a thought that's within me that now I can start to unwind and eventually conquer. So be able to get the things that I want in my life. Thank you again.

Would you recommend someone else work with Jason? If so, why?

Yes, absolutely. I would. I do have a person in mind. I did mention it to him this past weekend, but I'm not sure if he's ready for it. You can lead the horse to water, but you can't make them drink? And why would I? Because you've changed my life. I mean, you changed my life for the better. You have made me realize that I have been living in a way that I don't have to live anymore. All the fear or the anxiety or the worry is all there for a reason, which is to keep me safe, but not being attacked. And actually, what I'm really starting to realize from all of this is that you can love yourself. You know, that's important. And that's why I would recommend your services to someone because I have friends that have major anxiety. Now, I know what the cause is. I didn't know anyone that no one was taught us how to deal with this at a young age. No one taught us how to think, no one taught us how to focus, how to achieve the things that we want. I think that you could help anybody that has these clashing thoughts that are causing anxiety or nice guy issues, which are stemmed from our childhood.

Is there anything you’d like to add?

Is there anything that you could have improved upon? No, man, which is a testament to you. I really am trying to be honest. As I ask for the same feedback when I'm done with my clients, "How can I improve," and sometimes they hit me with some stuff? I'm like, "Oh, that stings a little bit." I mean, you even went above and beyond. There's one time where I was on the I'm not worthy exercises. You actually texted me when I was out there. Just last year. And that was really, it was really cool. So the amount that you're relational with people versus just, you know, another transaction and another coaching client. Are you doing it for the right reasons? I think it's very evident. So I don't really have much more to add.

C. Knight

I was doubtful of the whole process… Wildly, wildly skeptical. Like [Jason was] a tarot card reader.

I felt like spending money and hiring a coach wouldn’t help. I wanted everyone to think I was I had that all taken care of. I didn’t want to admit there was a problem. I didn’t believe a coach such as Jason could have adequately addressed my issue.

What kept me going was the connection we had. Jason wasn’t surprised by anything I said. He related to everything. The results just went from there. Before I thought I was destined for scraps. Nothing.

I got to see my divorce more realistically. I discovered issues that were happening that I was absolutely blind to for five years. That was an eye opener. Breaking me out of my own blinders was huge. That's a major result. I'd say that was more rewarding than hooking up with women.

I learned how I was living out of control in somebody else's world. I was being manipulated and not living my own life, not being true to myself. I accepted my situation because that's what I deserved. Then I broke free to be who I am and live my own life which I hadn't done before. I gained a renewed sense of confidence. And then as I processed things with Jason, I realized, holy smokes! I'm just sort of naturally inviting positive things. I’m starting to realize that all this stuff we've been talking about is starting to happen naturally which is pretty cool.

I have gained an excitement to live. I have more control over my life and what I do. I realize that I have a say. Things are easier than I'd been making them out to be. I look forward to our meetings and building on what I’ve learned. With all that comes less anxiety and I feel less out of control.

Everything I said Jason quickly related to and then he had me look at it another way. He was always easy to talk to. And Jason always seemed to get what I was trying to say. Everything I said to him was turned into a way to grow for me. He’s very straightforward and doesn’t let me get away with anything. And I appreciate his flexibility.

Jason’s feedback is fantastic. It was probably the most valuable thing because I wouldn't have to wait two weeks for a session for something pressing. It felt very real time.

My anxiety is reduced now. I don’t feel like I’m doing this alone. I've gotten more comfortable navigating basic, day-to-day stuff like being in crowds. I feel excited and on purpose. Jason has helped me with my career too. Again, it goes back to just more feeling of control. It's about being more proactive, not reactive. I realize now that I’m no different than anybody else. You can get whatever you want. I feel in control.

I would absolutely recommend Jason for coaching. I worked with Dr. Glover too. That was great, but Jason has all the knowledge and makes things easier to process and easier to relate to.

Jason is a professional who is dedicated to his craft, and that comes through in every session. I knew right off the bat this guy takes it seriously. This isn't bullshit. He's not just trying to do this on the side. I've always felt that way. It’s the professionalism. Hands down.

Coaching with Jason is a great value especially when you see the results. Jason is willing to do what makes sense. He’s not rigid about it. He treats each case individually to get the best results. Jason is very present when I'm talking. It's like he’s working with me and there are no distractions. We have never ended the session short with nothing else to do. That's the professionalism.

Jason K.

When I decided to hire Jason, it was because he appeared to provide the solution for what I needed. There was a little bit of peer pressure against it, but after some discussion about the cost versus benefit of it, I went ahead and jumped in and gave it a shot.

Based on the first few questions that Jason asked me, it became obvious to me that I was not communicating clearly to other people and I wasn’t able to formulate what I wanted for myself clearly at all. So that made me realize that I could definitely use some one-on-one coaching. I also needed Jason’s help to get through the divorce I'm currently in.

The most prominent thing I found was that I am not as clear on my expectations or wants and desires as I should be. The other thing that I really appreciated and found to be valuable was the ability for me to work through specific scenarios with Jason. He prompted me to think about my responses to questions or complicated scenarios that were presented by my ex-wife. That's probably the most valuable thing. When dealing with somebody as strong or as narcissistic as she is, it's easy me to get wrapped around the axle with my responses.

The best thing that I got from coaching with Jason was help through these specific interactions. In my work with Jason, I got a lot of peace of mind while dealing with my ex’s narcissistic behaviors. Jason’s ability to evaluate things for me really helped my thought process.

I definitely felt the prompting Jason gave me to communicate more clearly with the women that I became involved with was extremely helpful. It definitely made it easier for me to solve the problems that came up. Jason pushed me to be more up front and ask the difficult questions early. Both women I dated were very appreciative of that. I would definitely take that with me into any future exchanges with other women.

I appreciated Jason’s analysis of conversations and text messages. But more importantly I appreciated the way he was direct and held me accountable for what I would say to other people. I felt that that was the most beneficial in the long run. Jason didn't give me any slack. I'm stoked about that part of it. We really drove down into my underlying desires and what I really was trying to achieve. These were things that I wasn't really clear about. I think Jason’s intensity about getting to the bottom things is really good.

Analyzing behaviors is definitely one of the benefits of Jason’s coaching. It definitely helped me be more confident in dealing with problems in relationships. And I’ve improved my ability to clearly articulate my desires.

Jason has the ability to be available via text for emergencies or email for things that aren't emergencies. This is a higher level of availability than a normal therapist. Jason created more of a personal relationship with me that helped me move forward. This was better than sitting in a chair in a specific time slot where you talk and are not really pushed. The follow up with the exchanges during the week to see if I was making progress was really helpful.

I would definitely recommend Jason’s coaching to people who are not confident in who they are or what they want. Jason’s coaching is helpful for people who have relationship issues with people with very dominant personalities. I would also recommend Jason to people having trouble in their dating world.

John K.

I was evaluating Jason from his videos and as well as podcasts. I was already working with another coach. So I wanted to see what Jason could give that was different than any other coach.

After working with Jason I found that my views of the world were an illusion. And I don't think I was in reality totally until we started to work together. I started to learn a new approach to life and the mindset of non-judgment. I learned about moving through my emotions instead of wrestling with them. And then I can let go of the outcome. The biggest thing for me is my new mindset, a new way of approaching life.

When I started out with Jason I was very judgmental and I am still judgmental. I have to work on that daily. Jason helped me learn how to stop being so damned judgmental of myself as well as other people.

I learned how to be okay with that feelings that come up. Oftentimes I get anxiety. I think that I'm not going to be able to live through that moment. But I can live through that moment if I just go through the emotion instead of trying to wrestle with emotion. Ultimately I do survive these moments. Whatever the outcome ends up being is OK for me now. I can let things happen the way they're going to happen.

I’m learning how to date. I’m learning things about relationships that I had no clue on. I used to think that dating was all about what you see on TV. You fall in love and all that. I've learned it's much different than that actually. It's almost evolutionary. It's just a totally different way of looking at it for me.

I’m looking at women in a totally different way where people don't put them on pedestals. Through the practices Jason has taught me, practicing non-judgment is everything. I’m starting to see some good things come about from my relationships with women. And I can be OK with who I am.

The journaling process has been critical to my success. I do the journaling every night. It helps me get things down on paper so that I'm not carrying them in my head. When I get it all down on paper I can process it better. We meet every two weeks to discuss that stuff and we always have a lot to go over. I have learned a lot from that. All of the feedback and comments that Jason responds back to me with is great. In between our meetings I can process everything. I can think about those a-ha moments. Those a-has are helping me to understand people better. It helps me better understand myself as a human being. It helps me continually grow.

Jason gets right in there and is willing to slug it out with me. He’s good at figuring out what’s going on. He helps me understand myself better. He works with me to resolve all these different issues and how to reprocess all the information.

Another huge thing is that he’s teaching me is a whole different way of life. And ultimately that's really great. He’s helping me to liberate myself from my beating myself up with my thoughts so I can be free to live the life that I dreamed of. We’ve made a lot of progress.

I would definitely recommend Jason's coaching because it is very interpersonal. It's custom to me. It's custom to what's going on inside of me. It's not something you buy as a kit. It’s not a canned program for hundreds and hundreds of people. No, this is custom to me. This is what I needed to develop and grow so I can feel free and become a better person.

I didn't realize just how much a lot of my emotions were paralyzing me from living the life that I wanted. I almost wanted to give up earlier this week because of something that happened, but I knew I couldn't. If I did let that fear ultimately control me, then I would wonder on that death bed why I didn't do something about it. Jason's helping me to live. He's helped me to get to that fulfilling life I've always dreamed of.

Elliott C. Seattle, Washington

The result of investing in coaching was that it brought me more confidence in job interviews. It's given me more comfort with networking and how to network, and also how to bring accountability to myself with networking in terms of following up and setting weekly goals for reaching out or other job-related tasks that I need to accomplish. 

Then for the dating piece, it was definitely shifting my mindset more away from what she thinks of me to what I think of her. It came from thinking more about what was important to me and what my priorities are in someone that I'm dating, which pushed me more to a place where I'm evaluating her.

I like the tough love - very direct, very honest, and straightforward so there was no confusion in terms of what you're trying to say, what your intention was, the advice or feedback they were trying to get me to. 

I would say that for someone who feels stuck and overthinks things a lot and has trouble focusing it would be really useful in terms of getting them onto a more steady path to move forward in their lives.

G. H. 

I wasn't sure if I needed Jason's expertise, I didn't know if it would be any good and let's face it; there are a bunch of other things I could use the money for. However, I was mistaken, Jason pointed out things I didn't know that I was doing wrong, he helped me with my approach anxiety and I am grateful. I recommend his services to everybody, even the experienced ones who rarely fail.

Charles G.

Jason isn't about a "formula" approach to life coaching. He took the time to listen to me, to my specific issues and my unique concerns about where I was at in my life. He helped me to zero in on the areas that were of the utmost priority, that I wasn't necessarily aware of. He had the knowledge and expertise to identify areas that needed immediate focus, and was able to convey to me that once I got my real priorities together, the other elements would fall into place.

Throughout the process, Jason's concern was on my mental and emotional health and well-being. He was able to develop creative ideas for all areas of my life, from business to relationships. He helped me see what the real issues in my life were, and designed concrete, practical steps to resolve them.

All in all, it's been a small investment for a wealth of progress and growth. I'm proud to call Jason my coach.

Rob R.

I have had a thoroughly positive and transformative experience while working with Jason. I have reached a point where I feel a level of confidence and clarity that I could never have imagined before. I have overcome my issues with anxiety and learned how to manage it without the help of anti-anxiety medication, which was causing numerous side effects and affecting my quality of life. My relationships and love life have improved dramatically, and I am able to be present and healthy in my interactions with others in a way I never could before. I have achieved a better understanding of myself, gained the ability to set and hold boundaries and express myself more clearly, and learned to truly love and accept myself exactly the way I am.

I credit Jason with providing the guidance and wisdom that set me on this path toward self-mastery and helping me to discover the inner strength to become the best version of myself. Jason's coaching has changed my life for the better, and I believe he has what it takes to do the same for many others.

Luis O.

 Within the time that you have coached me, I have felt that as a person I have grown tremendously. I was the type of person that was very analytical, afraid of approaching, and always trying to impress people to get validation. Within our time together you have helped me become a better version of myself and grow my confidence tremendously in my social life, how to keep in touch with the new people in my life either personally or professionally. I now expect no outcomes going out, I am making new friends through events that I enjoy doing, hosting events with my new friends, I am able to set boundaries, and confront people as well more confidently and stick to my boundaries. I enjoy our time together and I would recommend you to a friend who needs a life coach or in a search of one. 

Paul R.

Jason is very perceptive and has a lot of good advice to impart. He uses what he learned from Dr. Glover, other professionals and therapists, his own experiences, and a remarkable intuition. He gets right to the heart of the problem without wasting precious time trying to be delicate. If you need advice now, call Jason. He has helped me immensely, and I am thankful to have met and worked with him.
