# A New Era Begins

**Hi, I’m Jack!**

You may know me from my music, consulting work, or through mutual friends at Songcamp, CHAOS, and Tribly.

Change is Good
--------------

As I transition to a new era of my life, **I see how important it is for my career to be aligned with the human beings around me** that make me who I am. Over the last few years, a deep, spiritual practice has given me the invaluable perspective that **all beings are a part of me, and I am a part of all beings.**

And while music has been a wonderful, cathartic way to express myself and inspire others, I’ve come to see that **I need to expand how I can make a truly positive and loving impact** on this world.

Music will always be a part of me, and I will always be an artist, but I also recognize that I have skill and potential needed in other realms of human life.

**That’s why I've decided to become a certified coach.**

I am proud to say that I already fulfill a coaching function in my consulting work, whether it’s technology, writing, creativity, spirituality, or personal growth and self reflection. Now I see that this role is my duty to fulfill.

**_It’s not something I have to do, but it is something I am built to do._**

Getting Certified
-----------------

I will earn the certifications by completing two intensive trainings with the Certified Life Coach Institute. I hope to raise enough funding ($1995 USD) to be able to attend the September training for Coaching 101 and then attend Coaching 102 later in October.

Once I receive the basic certification from the Coaching 101 training, I will be able to begin practice as a certified coach. And if my work is going to focus on helping and supporting my fellow beings, then **I need to be willing to ask for help and support as well.** If you are able, I would deeply **appreciate any contribution** that you can make toward my first coaching certifications.

During that time between the 101 and 102 trainings, **I will offer 1-hour coaching sessions at no cost to supporters** that collect the above “Jack Becomes A Coach” video (1 session per mint, 5 session cap).

Alternatively, you can [click here to donate in USD via Fundly](https://fundly.com/support-jack-s-coaching-certification). Or you can also be eligible for 1 hr sessions by collecting from the Videocasts drop via Zora below (1 session per mint, 5 session cap).**I will reach out once certified to inform you of session availability.**

Thank You
---------

I’m so grateful for the collaborators, friends, family, acquaintances, role models, and loved ones who have helped me get to this point. I do this for you. I do this for the people we’ve lost. I do this for the people we have yet to meet. And I do this for myself.

Even if you can’t contribute monetarily at this time, **any support you can offer by sharing this fundraiser will go a long way** to help me realize this dream.

Any funding above the goal will go toward future certifications, which I am currently researching as we speak. **My goal is to become as equipped as possible to meet coaching needs** of as many people as I can.

Thank you for your attention, and may peace be with you always!
