Jack hosts a podcast called The Darkside of Elite, and he is fascinated by what it takes to be elite. Not just good. Not even just great. But truly elite… the 1%, cream of the crop top of the food chain in any field. But just being the best isn’t what holds his attention. He’s obsessed with what it takes to be the best and the cost of success. Nobody talks much about the Darkside. It’s hidden, but it’s there. In fact, it’s common in people who push the limits of human endeavors. It also shows up in everyday, normal life. Frankly, the Darkside is all around us. But he’s here to shed LIGHT on the Darkside so you can overcome it.
