About the guest :

Jake Kennington is a licensed structural engineer who has led high-pressure projects. including $100M builds. After realizing his definition of success no longer fit his life as a husband and father of four. he re-engineered his path. Today he runs Actively Human, helping professionals realign goals, restore relationships, and reclaim health.

Key takeaways :

• Redefine success per season. Your values change across life phases. clarity beats autopilot.

• Identity drives outcomes. Adopt the identity first. then behaviors follow. “I am a healthy person. so I make healthy choices.”

• Jake’s REDAC method.Redefine success. Realign actions. Reconnect with self and loved ones. run this over 8 weeks for traction.

• Leadership shift beats tactics. Many founders fail from clinging to the IC identity. step into the CEO hat. delegate. and lead through others.

• Case study. A client working 70+ hours weekly for years regained margin by test-driving time off. trusting the team. then planning a full week away.

• Design for uncertainty. Like earthquake-ready structures. resilient lives are built on engaged work and meaningful relationships. keep both top-tier.

• Simple daily lever. Take a 30-minute distraction-free walk. ask. “What does success look like for me in this phase of life.” write the answer.

• Entrepreneurship without chaos. You can transition gradually. e.g., reduce salaried days and ramp the mission business with clear guardrails.

• Systems over sprints. Restore sleep, movement, and presence blocks on the calendar. protect relationship time like a client meeting.
