Jake Owens has done about everything someone in the music industry can do – a 20 year industry pro, he has multiple gold and platinum records, along with 10 #1 singles, and has seen his songs streamed more than three billion times! Jake was open and engaging as we discussed (with George on from California!) life transitions, finding healing, and achieving peak performance.

At 44 years old he is continuing to evolve and works at accepting his authentic self, whoever that is now! For him one of the metaphors of life that transcend the sport is golf. A great golfer in his own right, he explains his life philosophy with a story about an approach to a green with a dog leg and a large water hazard. The safe way is to hit alongside the water, although that will require at least one extra shot for sure. He says no way – GRAB THE 3 WOOD, HIT OVER THE WATER & GO FOR THE GREEN! Never play it safe and lay it up! He talks about grabbing his 3 wood over and over in life, taking risks and always going for the green! Life is about proving it to yourself, not others. Did I step up and give it my best? That is his search.

And that is what he is doing with his new album “Dreams to Dream”. Trying some new things. Recorded in LA, with a new sound and a new producer, and self-released. Evolving, accepting himself for where and who he is at this stage in his life, and exciting about taking some risks to see what is true and alive for him right now.

He shares his life as a single dad and living as a person in recovery/sobriety. Lessons learned and​ more life to be lived.

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Ignacio Garza, founder of the Special Forces Foundation—a nonprofit built by Green Berets, for Green Berets. Ignacio shares his journey through over two decades of military service and what led him to create a community dedicated to supporting the Special Forces and their families. With a mission grounded in immediate and ongoing care, the Foundation offers vital programs that address mental health, family support, and crisis intervention, helping service members navigate the visible and invisible wounds of their work.

We also explore how values like service, unity, and healing align with Hidden Pearls Studio’s commitment to mindful leadership and holistic wellness. Ignacio’s story is a reminder of the strength found in community, the courage to ask for help, and the power of purpose-driven healing. Tune in to hear how veterans are being supported not just in survival—but in coming home to themselves.
