From the desolate depths of homelessness to the dazzling heights of celebrity training, our guest, Jay Cardiello, has lived a life that is nothing short of extraordinary.

An unfortunate injury during his track and field practice left him with a broken spine, propelling him into an abyss of pain and depression. But Jay, with the audacity of hope and resilience, turned his life around, becoming a sought-after coach in sports leagues such as the NFL and Major League Baseball, and then also later worked with some of the biggest names in entertainment such as 50 Cent, JLO, Rami Malek and Sofia Vergara.

Jay’s story is not just about surmounting adversity; it’s a profound exploration of how he found strength, purpose, and faith in the darkest chapters of his life. After enduring the heartbreak of divorce and the struggle of homelessness, Jay discovered solace in his relationship with God and his father's wisdom. His journey stands as a beacon of hope, demonstrating the transformative power of faith, resilience, and determination.

Although Jay is TEDx speaker and has authored two best-selling wellness books, perhaps the most interesting part of Jay's story is his experiences with ketamine treatment to make peace with his experiences of sexual abuse. The openness with which he discusses these traumas offers a sense of courage and inspiration to those grappling with similar challenges.

Indeed, his story is a testament to the human spirit's ability to overcome even the most formidable obstacles. As he shares his greatest achievement, we learn that our past traumas do not define us; instead, they serve as stepping stones, guiding us on our path to becoming the best versions of ourselves.
