Jake Nicks brings intense inspo to American dreamers on the rising top podcast, EgoLess

Most times, being wealthy represents the American Dream:

A 40-foot yacht so you can travel the Caribbean with your very own captain and deckhands. The biggest and the best motor-home to travel around the country, having uninterrupted time to explore each destination to its fullest. A 12K foot mansion with housekeepers and a garage filled with sports cars. 

Anyone? Anyone?

Believe it or not, 40 percent of Americans believe that wealth does not necessarily define the American Dream. Yet, every single day, a vast number of Americans wake up fantasizing about how nice it would be to win the lottery so they can be like what the media represents as having it all.

Do fiscal or career circumstances even matter? It would be unreasonable to say they don’t. The majority of Americans today have debt to pay off. 

But stop and think about how many times you’ve asked somebody, “What do you do?”

How many responses were detailed job descriptions? And how many responses revolved around hobbies and passions? 

Is your answer shocking?

EgoLess Podcast: Not Just About the Journey

You see, Jake Nicks believes the American Dream means more than the “what you do” concept. His “who you are on the inside” theory is why EgoLess is creating all the buzz. 

Every single one of us faces difficulties in life. We’ve learned through our mistakes, felt fearful of the future, and experienced deep pain. 

Stop and think about how many times you’ve asked somebody, “How have you been through life?”

How many responses detailed heartaches? And then how many answers coupled that with info about the ultimate joy stemming from those heartaches? 

“It’s not about the info; it’s about the inspo,” Nicks says.

EgoLess is one of the top 2020 inspirational, and binge-worthy podcasts focused on compelling stories of inspiration and how life is more than the journey of molding ourselves into perfection. It showcases everything in between - the nitty-gritty.

You Are More Important than What You do

“You are more important than what you do,” Nicks says. 

The goal with the EgoLess podcast is to change lives through the questions asked to each prominent guest interviewed on the show. 

Results mean more to most of us than, say, who we are as people. But if you combine results with how a person is affected by those results, plus center it based on their principles (who they are) – you come up with something much different than what everybody else believes in. 

It’s called living a life of balance. And who wouldn’t be inspired to live a life centered around sincere gratitude for life and the gifts you have to offer others – whether it be talents or providing help to others in some way, shape or form.

Let’s stop searching for pleasure boosters through money, people, and business. Look past the temporary fixes and visit the inner-you, instead.

Jake Nick’s life changed because of someone else’s inspiration, so he wants to pay it forward and move you forward in all areas of your life –in an inspiring and informative way. “This podcast is my gift to the world,” he says.
