What happens when the man behind the badge sits down and gets real about mental health, confidence, purpose and finding his voice?

On Episode 97 of Just Jay, the Podcast, Aajaylah sits down with Jason Lacayo (@therealjumpmanjay) for a conversation that goes far beyond his career in law enforcement.

Jason opens up about growing up between the Bronx and Yonkers, becoming a police officer, his journey into podcasting, running marathons, discipline, therapy, spirituality and learning how to live in his purpose. He also talks about the work it took to build real confidence and why he started asking people “How’s your spirit?” instead of simply asking “How are you?” 

The conversation also gets personal as Aajaylah and Jason discuss men’s mental health, grief, healing and why creating spaces where people can speak openly matters. Jason describes therapy as one of the hardest—and most valuable—things he has done. 

⚠️ CONTENT NOTE: This episode includes candid discussion of suicide, suicidal thoughts, grief and mental health.
