From Farm Fields to Finding Purpose: Jody Durand on Mental Health, Loss & Leadership

From Farm Fields to Finding Purpose: Jody Durand on Mental Health, Loss & Leadership

In this heart-centered episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Jody Durand—author of Country Boy Soul—to explore how life's unexpected storms can lead us back to purpose. From losing his father at 20 and running a call center during 9/11, to discovering healing through vulnerability, mentorship, and authentic leadership in sales, Jody shares a raw, real-life blueprint of resilience. His story is a reminder that we don't have to be perfect to live a purposeful life.

About the Guest:Jody Durand is a farmer-turned-sales mentor, author, and advocate for emotional honesty—especially among men. His memoir Country Boy Soul chronicles his transformation through loss, burnout, and rebuilding, offering powerful insights into self-worth, mental health, and fulfillment. Now living on a farm with his wife Laura, Jody mentors others in leadership and sales while staying grounded in gratitude and truth.

Key Takeaways:

  • "It all looks good from the road" masks the real struggles behind success and survival.

  • Jody’s story reveals how unchecked burnout, grief, and societal expectations can silently erode mental well-being.

  • Sales became his unexpected path to healing—because it was never about selling, but helping.

  • The crash that nearly took his life became the moment he chose to reclaim it.

  • Vulnerability isn’t weakness—it’s what connects us and lifts others up.
