   Send us Fan Mail Season 1 Finale — Part 2: How I Rebuilt My Life Sometimes the hardest part of life isn't surviving what happened to you. It's figuring out who you're going to become afterward.

   Send us Fan Mail Before Beyond the Office… Part 1: The Story Behind the VoiceBefore there was Beyond the Office, there was a young man just trying to figure out how to survive.

   You're Allowed to Change Your Mind

   Send us Fan Mail What happens when the life you once wanted isn’t the life you want anymore? Sometimes growth isn’t about achieving the next goal.

In Episode 9 of Beyond The Office, Jerard talks about what it means to outgrow an older version of yourself—and why changing direction doesn’t automatically mean ...

   The Conversations We Avoid

   Send us Fan Mail We talk all day—but how often do we actually talk about the things that matter most? Money. Mental health. Family. Grief. Failure. Faith. These are some of the experiences that shape our lives, yet they can also be the conversations we work hardest to avoid. In Episode 8 of Beyond The Office, Jerard explores why difficult conversations can feel so uncomfortable, where our tendency to avoid them comes from, and what that silence can cost us over time. From growing up hearing “...

   When Helping Everyone Starts Hurting You

   Send us Fan Mail What happens when being the strong one starts costing you more than you realize? In this episode of Beyond The Office, Jerard talks about the pressure of always being the dependable one—the friend, family member, coworker, or professional everyone turns to when something goes wrong.

   What Does Success Really Look Like?

   Send us Fan Mail What happens when you accomplish the things you once prayed for… but still find yourself wondering, “Is this really success?” In this episode of Beyond The Office, I take a deeper look at what success actually means—and how easy it is to measure our lives by someone else’s timeline.

   Travel Changed How I See People 🌎

   Send us Fan Mail Travel used to mean seeing somewhere new. Now, it means something completely different to me. The more places I visit, the more I realize how easy it is to form opinions about people, cultures, and communities we've never actually taken the time to understand. Travel has challenged some of my assumptions. It's introduced me to different ways of living, communicating, building community, and looking at the world. And one of the biggest lessons I've learned? “The more I travele...

   The Military Changed Me More Than I Realized

   Send us Fan Mail 🎙️ Episode 3: The Military Changed Me More Than I Realized People often thank veterans for their service, but they rarely ask how that service changed them. For me, the military was more than a uniform. It taught me discipline when I lacked direction, resilience when life got difficult, and the value of serving something greater than myself. It also challenged me in ways I never expected and shaped the man I continue to become today. In this episode of Beyond The Office, I re...
