Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Jacob Ciptak. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Jacob, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Was there a defining moment in your professional career? A moment that changed the trajectory of your career?

A defining moment comes in a variety of shapes and forms. For me, my moment will be when I have reached my peak potential. I believe that as a human being we are capable of extraordinary achievements. To waste that is like throwing away your most prized possession.

I am not 100% sure when or what my peak is, but I do know with my personality and creative genius I can offer this world so much more of who I am. I won’t stop moving forward.

Jacob, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

I always get stuck when asked these questions. “Who I am and what do I do”.

For the past few years, I would answer the “who am I’ question with an inventor, or a media specialist, or maybe a model. But at the end of the day, I am just Jacob. My family would describe me as well raised, handsome, goodhearted, while my friends would describe me as fun, “out there”, or outgoing.

Being Jacob has took me on a few ventures starting with hospitality management. From there with rapid fire, I moved to AZ around 2020, started modeling, became a professional photographer, started a small business, made own fragrance line, and I have my own podcast. I am currently back home in Ohio.

All of my ventures have just been the prologue to my story. Just recently of end of summer 2023 I am taking a huge step back from all of the above. I want to combine all my life experiences and knowledge to reach my upmost potential.

What I am most proud of and what sets me apart is my upcoming life story. I plan to create a safer drug alternative for the EDM (Electronic Dance Music) community with overdoses on the rise. At the end of the day my goal is to live my life how I choose and in return save millions of people from a harsh ending. I do this in hopes of reaching that potential I seek, a win -win.

Learning and unlearning are both critical parts of growth – can you share a story of a time when you had to unlearn a lesson?

I come from a very traditional family. Graduate high school, postsecondary education, find a job that pays the bills, find a wife, have kids, settle down, all by the age of 22, and live happily ever after. Being 28 and not having the second half of what I mentioned I always feel behind in life. I feel like giving up on my personal intentions every day.

However, I constantly have to tell myself that in a rapidly changing world I’m not far behind and I have to keep pushing towards my goal. Though I do think if you get to a certain age there might be concern.

Are there any books, videos or other content that you feel have meaningfully impacted your thinking?

There are a few resources that help when it comes to managing my lifestyle and my philosophies I live by.

Family – though my family does not always understand what I am doing I have them to thank for my passionate heart and strong will.

Friends – My friends are always interested in my ideas. I also get inspiration on their suggestion. I have a few friends that are above me in terms of wealth power and love to share their knowledge. When people above my statis tell me that my ideas are something they support and/or think is a good idea, it gives me reassurance and confidence to keep going.

Podcast – I consider podcast to be my mentor. When you get to hear the life lesson, stories, or information from real professionals from all over the world in the palm of your hand… I mean what can be more informative than that.

Anime – Now I know this might be a weird one. But some of the deeper, more emotionally written anime have life lessons you could never forget. I’ll leave it at that haha.
