Für fast zwei Jahre hatte Jake den selben rekreiernden Traum. Es begann immer mit Erfolg. Seine Geschichte war weltweit. Die Leute wussten, worüber er gesprochen hat. Und er ist jetzt auf der Bühne, an einem Redezeit, seine Reise zu teilen und andere zu inspirieren.

And now some overdue thank yous. To Jake, thank you for your bravery, your honesty and your patience, for fielding my million questions, helping me piece together timelines, fact check interviews, and for offering so much insight, even when I know it was really hard. I know how much trust that took. It's a very vulnerable thing to hand your story over to someone else.

And unfortunately, in this space, we've seen time and time again how that can go wrong. Survivors deserve to tell their stories authentically and with ownership. I was lucky that Jake chose me and together we created something that honored that. To Jake's family, friends and the professionals who lent their voices, memories and expertise you offered more than just support.

Your insight brought this story to life. In fact, some of what you shared helped Jake uncover parts of his own past that even he hadn't fully known. Pieces of the puzzle he's still assembling to this day. To Michael Marguet, thank you for composing original music for every single episode. The emotional depth you brought to this project helped immerse all of us right into Jake's world.

And to everyone who listened to Blank, thank you. Your support has meant more than we can put into words. And by showing up episode after episode, you haven't just listened to Jake's story, you've amplified it. This story isn't always easy, but your kindness, curiosity and compassion helped turn it into something powerful, something that's already reaching others who need to hear it.

Thank you for supporting Jake, for rooting for him and for seeing the strength, humor and humanity in his journey.

How your life can change for the better in just the blink of an eye. This is Blink.

This podcast is the story of a man who beat the odds, a medical miracle who survived an incurable brain disease after a life marked by sorrow, loss, and addiction. Each day, Jake pushes himself to rebuild, mind, body, and spirit, refusing to waste the second chance that he was never supposed to get. But this isn't just a story about recovery. It's a story about reckoning.
