The Healing In Sharing
Welcome to The Healing in Sharing podcast. THIS is a space for brave, honest conversations about resilience, restoration, and the life-changing power of telling the truth about your story.

This is a welcoming space where vulnerability is honored, growth is intentional, and healing is not rushed but respected. Together, we explore what it means to rise, to rebuild, and to step fully into the woman you were always meant to become.

Jason: From Service to Brotherhood: A Veteran’s Path to Healing
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Some heroes don't wear capes—they open their garage doors.
Jason’s bimonthly poker nights have become a sanctuary for military personnel and first responders seeking more than cards: genuine brotherhood.
Haunted by trauma from Coast Guard and Army service, PTSD, and injuries, Jason struggled to ask for help—until a life-saving call to a friend sparked a new mission. Now CEO of Alpha Ready, he builds stigma-free spaces for healing. As a Christian, husband, father, and podcaster, he proves that true strength lies in connection, and purpose can rise from pain—even around a garage poker table.

Book: Why I Survived; Where Survival Becomes Strength
Building Brotherhood Through Poker
Speaker 1Twice a month, a garage in his neighborhood transforms into something sacred. It's not just about poker chips or the cards on the table. It's about connection. Jason opens his doors to fellow military personnel and first responders, offering them something many don't even realize they're missing Brotherhood. What began with just four men seeking a safe space has now grown to 15 regulars, with over a hundred more waiting to pull up a chair. Men from across the United States are drawn to what Jason has created. They feel the heart behind it. That heart comes from lived experience.
From Darkness to Purpose
Speaker 1At just 17, jason joined the Coast Guard. He thought he was signing up to save lives, and he did. But no training could have ever prepared him for the soul-shattering weight of pulling suicide victims from the waters beneath the Golden Gate Bridge. It wasn't a rare tragedy. It was daily. Those images never left. They found their way into his dreams and the deepest parts of his memory. Ptsd wasn't just a diagnosis. It became his silent shadow. Still, jason pushed forward. He later joined the army, where he sustained multiple injuries that forced him into an unfamiliar territory asking for help For those who serve. Being the one in need can feel like weakness. A year into recovery, overwhelmed and spiraling into darkness. He stood at a crossroads. Suicide felt like the only escape, but he picked up the phone. Instead, he called a friend. Instead he called a friend. That single brave act of reaching out became the turning point, not just in his life but for so many others. It was in that moment he realized men need community, a space where they can just show up. No pressure, no expectations, just themselves, messy, imperfect, healing, human.
Speaker 1Today, jason is a Christian, a devoted husband and father to a beautiful daughter. He serves with Homeland Security, continuing his lifelong mission of protecting others, and security, continuing his lifelong mission of protecting others. He's also the founder and CEO of Alpha Ready Company. He's a podcaster, a clothing brand creator and a proud Coast Guard and Army veteran. Jason, your courage doesn't end on the battlefield or the front lines battlefield or the front lines. It lives on in how you choose to lead to love and to create space for others. Your story is a lifeline. It's proof that purpose can rise from pain, and it's my honor to call you a friend. Thank you for your service, not just to this country, but to every man whose life you touch. Your journey is far from over and I can't wait to see how it continues to unfold. With that, jason, welcome to the I Need Blue podcast.
