Reflections on life, relationships and becoming a better man.

I’m not here to tell you how to live. I’m here because I’ve been in the mess too, and I found a way through.

Most people don’t arrive here because everything is falling apart. They arrive because something quieter is happening. A feeling that despite everything they’ve built and everything they’ve been through, they’re still not fully home in themselves.

​That’s the thing this work is really about.

Hi, I’m Jake. Most people call me Spack.

I spent most of my early twenties looking for something I couldn’t name.

Trained hard, partied harder. Used steroids because I hated how I looked. Chased approval in relationships and called it love. Worked jobs that paid fine but felt like slow suffocation.

Then a drunken accident in Europe severed a nerve in my foot and sent me home in a cast. Somehow that was the beginning of something.

A few years later I’d sold everything, booked a one way flight to the US, found real brotherhood for the first time in Austin, quietly stopped drinking and never went back. Sat in sweat lodges in Costa Rica. Slept in a cave next to a waterfall and a fire. Went through two long term international relationships that both ended in hard lessons about how much of myself I’d been giving away.

There were some really dark days in there. Days I don’t talk about much. My family pulled me through more than they know.

I came back to Australia different. Not fixed. Just more honest.

Venture with Spack grew out of all of it.

If something in that lands for you, you’re in the right place.

A few ways to go deeper

Venture Beyond Limitation

Venture Beyond Limitation

Most people don’t struggle because they’re lazy. They struggle because somewhere along the way they disconnected from themselves and started living for everyone else.

This book is the honest account of what it took for me to find my way back, and a practical framework to help you do the same. It follows four phases: Clear, Build, Expand, Recalibrate. Not a formula. A rhythm. The same one that shows up in nature, in healing, in any real change worth making.

Available as a digital book for $14. Add the audiobook, narrated in my own voice, at checkout.

One on One Mentorship

For the person who’s done enough reading and is ready to actually move.

Fortnightly calls, real time support via voice note and message, and someone in your corner who will ask you the uncomfortable questions and stay with you through the answers.

I don’t work from a rigid program. I work with what’s actually in front of you. Relationships, identity, direction, the patterns you keep repeating and can’t seem to shake.

Investment is $3,500 AUD for three months. Limited spaces.

Real people. Real shifts.

“Jake has a really unique perspective. He sees everything as a blessing and opportunity. I felt supported and challenged in the best way. He has a unique ability to help you see your potential and stay accountable to your growth.”

— Jackie, New York

Still figuring it out. Doing it honestly.

I’m not standing at the top of the mountain waving down at you.

I’m on the path. Same as you. I just happen to have been walking it a while longer in some directions, and I’ve made enough mistakes to have something worth sharing.

If you want to read the book, great. If you want to work together, I’d love to hear from you. If you just want to follow along, that’s welcome too.

​Either way, you’re not alone in this.
