EP 48 - High Performance Hacks That Works For Recruiters w/Jack Salmon

What happens when the party lifestyle becomes your identity — and you wake up one day with no goals, no purpose, and nothing left in the tank?

In this episode, I’m joined by Jack Salmon — high-performance coach, extreme endurance athlete, and a brutally honest voice on sobriety, structure, and self-leadership.

We dive into Jack’s journey from 48-hour benders and rock-bottom mornings to becoming a present dad, disciplined business owner, and the man he never had growing up. From rewiring his mindset to redefining masculinity, Jack shares the routines, reflections, and raw truths that helped him build a life worth showing up for.

We explore:
✅ The hidden drug culture inside recruitment & city life
✅ What rock bottom really looks like — and how to come back
✅ Creating structure when you feel totally lost
✅ Morning routines that build confidence & identity
✅ Journaling prompts that actually shift your mindset
✅ How to find purpose (even if you think you don’t have one)
✅ The problem with modern male role models — and how to be one

If you're battling burnout, rebuilding from rock bottom, or just want to level up your habits and headspace — this episode is packed with honest, actionable perspective.
