When I was first starting out my
social media journey back in 2015, Jarred was someone I was
immediately drawn to.
He was someone who was
performance-minded but had a huge fascination surrounding the
narratives we use and paradigms we subscribe to. All to say, I was
very much aligned with his values of thinking critically about our
clinical practice, as well as not selling out on IG with nocebic
click bait.
While I have grown away from some
of my early connections through social media, my relationship with
Jarred has stayed strong over the last 6 years. He has been a
constant as someone that both myself, and now our community, looks
to as a role model of practical skepticism, intellectual humility,
and a steadfast commitment to both personal and clinical
excellence.
As someone that I truly admire, I
had SO much fun getting to have a super candid conversation with
Jarred.
I really wanted to take the
opportunity to learn more about what makes Jarred, Jarred. He opens
up and explains a little bit more about how his early childhood and
environmental factors helped to shape who he is, and we reflected
on the last 6 years of growth, the lessons learned, the consistent
themes, and what the future holds.
Trust me when I tell you that you
do NOT want to miss this conversation. Thank you for all you do
Jarred, and if you don’t for some reason follow this individual,
then get on it!!!
