Jay is one of the most remarkable people I have spoken with and I am sure you'll agree once you hear this episode.  Jay is a pastor at Friends Church in southern California, husband, and father to a little girl, multiple brain tumor survivor. this was a trying moment for Jay and everyone who knew him. Jay and I spoke about his amazing athletic, health, and spiritual background in episode 252. These experience created a massive shift in Jay's perspective. He has a desire to enjoy a deep connection with others. First, with his wife and daughter, then with close friends and faith community. Beyond that, he is embracing his journey and sharing it every step of the way. That journey includes completing an IRONMAN this fall.  We dive into his training, how cancer treatment effected his workouts, mental, and emotional health, and how he puts all of this into perspective.
