I think the interview with Dan went great. Sure there were some F bombs and things not normally talked about. But if you were to ask him before to change how he normally is, it would come off fake. You past interviews show that's not what you want on this channel. Good topic today. So many have strayed from showing gratitude. But on the other side, so many feel they deserve constant gratitude. Like if someone does something to help and it's constantly brought up so they get that "Thank you" over and over. I've learned to reply "Wasn't the first 5 thank yous enough?" lol Have a wonderful rest of the week my friend. All my best to you and yours.
Brad! My man, thank you so much for your continued support it means the world to me. I enjoyed the talk with Dan big time, I could just tell it had a not-so-positive impact on some subscribers which is never my intention. I just will continue to come as I am and bring people in who I believe have something to share. I appreciate you brother!
Jack! Great update! I thought I missed your live over the weekend but I guess I didn’t? You absolutely will get to where you want to be financially and will meet every goal, marriage…another child etccccc. I’m sure making videos/content is probably exhausting but I also believe you have everything it takes to be very successful with this! I’ve never done it so easier said than done but…the more lives, interviews and videos of you discussing different topics, the better. Again…easier said than done I’m sure. Keep on keeping on! 💥 💥 💥
Hi Jack. So happy to see you post again. I pray that your work/financial improves for you, soon. Those types of worries/concerns are so very draining on a person. Looking forward to your next video, regardless of the topic. Take care and we’ll see you on the next one!
Howdy Jack!! Trying to stay in the "gratitude" mindset is a most beneficial state to stay in!! You've fought so hard to get over your past, You certainly deserve the best that the "universe" has to offer. Your past doesn't have to dictate your future. You are a great guy, blessed with good looks & an endearing personality. You really deserve being happy & being with some one that can see just how great you really are! I've got about 25 years on you & have been through my own brand of "shit!" I have so much empathy for all you've been through. There is a poem called "Desiderata," you've probably read it, but if you haven't, try goggling it. You really deserve to be happy & to be loved. I see your videos & it inspires me to just keep putting one foot in front of the other. I believe that you have a real heart of gold & despite the weight of the world being on your shoulders, you still fight to see the good in life! There is also a poem called, "Don't Quit!" that I'm sure you have seen. I don't want this to sound like a "hit," but, you're a really handsome man & I just love listening to your story! Big bear hugs from Kenny in Ohio!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😘🥰😋
Jack good to hear you. Life's been a runaway rollercoaster. Astonishing grief prevails. Don't know if this happens to you, but the demons don't like success. Paradoxical when things are going well, moving along, then BOOM Disruption. I don't think it's that we lose gratitude. More like ungodly interference. I try to study the triggers, it reveals clues about the hidden past. Or the hidden feelings. There's a kind of amnesia when I remember the narrative, but where the hell are the feelings peace 🕊
If anyone gets offended by the truth, then the problem is theirs, not yours. I like to hear people's stories unedited and unfiltered, only then do we hear the whole truth. Love hearing from you my man. Much love..🍀
Hi Jack ! Good to see you . I too , forget to acknowledge my gratitude every day . Usually I only express gratitude when something happens that makes me feel it . But , I do think it’s important to acknowledge and express gratitude in the in between too . Something I definitely need to work on . Can’t recall if you ever mentioned it but have you ever thought of writing a book ? Do you journal? I used to but I stopped . Not sure why 🤷♀️ Anyway , take care and good luck with the job search!
I used to journal a lot more than I do today, I need to get back to it. I wish I had some idea on how to go about writing a book, always wanted to. Appreciate you as always Tara!!
I myself am in recovery as well as a counselor in Texas. One of the important factors I believe in dealing with pain pill addiction is simply knowing legitimate physical pain vs self talk(old addictive thinking) and being able to clearly identify the difference
Oh so nice to see and hear from you today! I would love for you to talk on boundaries more. I needed to apologize to someone today and didn’t realize until I watched this. I feel like I don’t question thing’s enough sometimes. Well today I did question and I didn’t want to accept the answer. And I started offending my love one. By continuing to question. It’s hard because confrontation is so hard for me. I wasn’t trying to argue but it seems to always turn into that. Boundaries seems like confrontation. Scares me. Love you Jack!!
I couldn’t agree with you more when you say boundaries seem like confrontation… because boundaries set a line in the sand and when someone tests that they are directly causing a confrontation. At that point we need to decide: do we stand up for ourselves, or lay down. In my opinion there is a time for both answers, but I do my absolute best (to the extent of my own willingness) to stand up. Those times when I do stand up for myself and the boundaries I’ve set it builds self esteem and breeds self love. Much easier said than done admittedly.
I've really been sensing your struggle the last few weeks. Praying for your continued strength to persevere through these hard times. Lots of people struggling right now. Thank God you are strong and healthy in body and mind. You have a home and a child, good people in your life. I don't really believe in looking back, BUT remember with God's grace, just how far you've come! Hoping for all the best! ❤❤️
.. nothing wrong at looking back. Maybe you meant you don't believe in dwelling in the past...? Because there's absolutely nothing wrong with looking back. Everything in moderation. If you never looked back, then you wouldn't know where you are right now. Super important! Because the lessons you learned from the past, make your present, can make the present and the future that much better. If you never looked in the past then what would you have? Not much.
Welcome Back! So good to have a great episode of the Jack we know again! Your sincerity and honesty is one point that you can share that others just cannot do with sincerity. So glad that you found your voice again waiting for that ride Saturday night. Welcome Back!
ENJOY EVERY MOMENT when you get your son!!! I am not even three months into this(empty nest 😓), Jack, and it is debilitatingly awful if I let it be. I just seem to notice every little thing around me… Go off kilter wild next week- 🤘🏼🎸throw a legit pots n pans rock n rock party during 🥞breakfast ☀️🏄🏻🏄🏻
Jack: I always love hearing how things are going with you simply because you're my brother. You want to do a video that gets deep into feelings, but not just feelings? When you interview Dustin again, or this can be with other guys, explain to him why you love him. What is it that makes you think of him as a brother, deep down? And then ask him why he loves you. Ask him to dig deep and really explain what it is that is the bond that makes you brothers. This is what I truly want to know about you both I think others here would also really get to know you better by watching this intimate discussion between close brothers. Keep going, brother. You're in my heart and my prayers. God bless.
It's always great to see you and hear how you are doing. All of your interviews are interesting. The fact that they are not all the same is part of the appeal o fyour channel. For me, I enjoy watching how your interact with the person you are interviewing. It allows us to see you in a different angle than you just talking to us (the camera) So, how is the P.O. Box going? Maybe the const is too much at the moment? I really wish the best for you and your family Jack. Keep putting yourself out there. Even after all the stuff you have gone through, you are a great guy.
This is wonderful, thank you for the kind words. The PO Box is in the works I’ve just had a lot of other things on my plate. I’m glad you appreciate the array of unique people I have on here with me, much more to come!
Good to see you on this morning. I’m looking forward to the 2nd interview with Dan if you get to it. There is nothing you can put out there that offends. I suppose some get offended by truth, but that’s their problem not yours.
Learning how to live in the moment and having faith that your higher power will provide for you, is a process! Faith brings peace and a peaceful mind can receive inspired ideas! Fretting about money is the opposite of peace! Sometimes it's just a matter of listening carefully to the conversations you are in at the moment, and you will hear what you need to know! Fear of economic insecurity is an old wound that needs to be healed!
It's always happen on UA-cam I don't know why or how but I've seen it a lot on other channels it's just never affected me before but a lot of my subscriptions have disappeared now I just happened to remember your subscription but also if you try to look for your channel it doesn't show up or at least not when I look @@jackunmasked
@@jackunmasked I replied to your question, and YT I guess didn't like it so it didn't appear. Creators check their subscription numbers for oddities, and declining views would indicate shadow banning.
Wow Jack! I'm really impressed with you. My name is Jennifer Tree, and I just watched the soft white underbelly interview you did. You're just really impressive! I had some really hard times too. Sexual abuse. My father. I don't remember it. Every single therapist I've been to says that I have somatic memories. They all tell me I have early childhood sexual abuse that happened at 2 years old or younger. (I have had a memory or two come up tho. One was when he took a shower with me. I didn't know him at the time. I was 9 years old. And that's when he got visitation with me. And I never knew him before that. And his crotch was at my eye level. Terrible, terrible, terrible. You get it I'm sure. He treated me like a girlfriend. To the point where his wife was jealous. I do remember that. And that was bad enough. That f***** me up enough. Sorry... long description...) So there's no ability for me to remember. Anyways ... I just appreciate you and just keep it going! I wish I had figured out some of the things that you figured out at your age. I'm 52 now. It's been a really long road. It's been really hard. Really really hard. But keep spreading your awareness and it will help others.
Jennifer welcome in. Thank you for being so open about your past, and I’m truly sorry you had to experience those things as a child. You’re in the right place. I appreciate you being here and I really hope you stay!
I was so glad I bought my home when I did. I took out a 48 month personal loan for $6,000 which is what my home cost in 2010. My Disability was only $980.00 but now I have a roof over my head, tax exempt. I am poor now but happy.
Angel, you are so young and just trying to have a human/incarnate experience. Believe me (old frocker here) it gets better. It is still difficult, but what helps me, is to just say “merci” pronounced “mercy” in white trash, at every little blessing whether it's not tripping on a rock or finding a shady parking spot... The kids and grandkids think it's funny, but it sends my message to…well you know who, that I recognize the break and the blessing, great or small, and I expect the kids are catching on too and kids learn by example.
That’s a loaded one, but I do have my own perspective based on personal experience. I will for sure touch on that… and it will for sure not be accepted by everyone.
I’m grateful for my sobriety. I am also grateful for sober brothers like you Jack.
Grateful for you too brother
I think the interview with Dan went great. Sure there were some F bombs and things not normally talked about. But if you were to ask him before to change how he normally is, it would come off fake. You past interviews show that's not what you want on this channel.

How did your perspective on life change with kids?
Awesome question, I will address it!

Yes Lanard I would like to be married and have another child, God willing.
