n this powerful episode, Lucas Mack sits down with Jeremy Nulick, founder of Boulder Futures, to explore what most leaders avoid talking about: emotion, identity, and the deeper human story behind business strategy.

Jeremy shares his journey from journalism to strategic foresight, and challenges the modern assumption that business is purely analytical. Instead, he argues that business is a creative act—built on narrative, meaning, imagination, and the courage to make decisions that shape the future.

Together, Lucas and Jeremy dive into:

Why storytelling isn’t just marketing — it’s strategy

The hidden struggle many executives face: emotional suppression

What happens when your identity becomes your title

Trauma, recovery, and the way pain can distort vision

How hope is a discipline that leaders must reclaim

Why vulnerability and human connection are essential for building lasting organizations

This conversation is for founders, executives, creatives, and anyone who feels the tension between success on paper and emptiness inside.

Because the future won’t be built by people who numb themselves.
It will be built by people who are brave enough to be human.

In this episode, Lucas Mack sits down with Robert Toombs, founder of Mountain Readiness and a leading voice in self-reliance and practical preparedness, to explore what it truly means to reclaim sovereignty in an increasingly artificial world.

Robert shares his remarkable upbringing — spending his first twenty years living off-grid in the wilderness without modern utilities, where foraging, manual labor, and deep connection with the land formed the foundation of his worldview. Those formative experiences now fuel his mission through Mountain Readiness, where he teaches hands-on skills that help individuals, families, and communities build resilience and real-world capability.

Together, Lucas and Robert discuss the relationship between land, body, spirit, and truth — emphasizing physical health, grounded living, and the recovery of ancestral wisdom as pathways back to freedom. This conversation calls us to step out of dependency, reconnect with what is real, and cultivate a life rooted in courage, stewardship, and inner alignment.

What if the hardest part of healing isn’t forgiving others — but returning to the part of yourself you left behind?

In this episode of The Lucas Mack Show, Lucas shares a deeply personal story from childhood — a moment of abandonment that shaped how he learned to survive by disconnecting from his true self. What begins as a seemingly small memory reveals a universal pattern: when fear, pain, or trauma overwhelms us, we don’t just endure it — we abandon parts of ourselves to stay safe.

As adults, that survival strategy becomes a prison.

We wear masks.
We armor up.
We perform strength.
And slowly, we lose touch with the innocent, truthful, loving self we once were.

In this episode, Lucas explores:

How childhood trauma teaches us to abandon our inner child

Why survival masks feel protective but keep us stuck

The difference between coping and healing

Why freedom requires facing, naming, and speaking past pain

How to become the hero and rescuer of your own inner innocence

This isn’t about blaming the past — it’s about reclaiming what was lost.

Healing begins when you stop waiting for someone else to save you…
and choose to return to the part of you that never stopped longing for truth and love.

You don’t heal by becoming stronger.
You heal by becoming whole.

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from yourself, stuck in performance, or afraid to slow down and feel — this episode is for you.

🎧 Listen with honesty.
🕊 Sit with what stirs.
🔥 And remember: the child you abandoned is still waiting — and you are the one who can bring them home.
