PODCAST EP8: Jake & the Matts: Breaking a world record. A conversation about rowing into history

In this powerful episode, Mesi is joined by Jake Mattock, who opens up about the long journey between saying “one day I will” and actually doing the impossible - rowing an ocean.

For years, Jake spoke about this dream but struggled with something many of us can relate to: following through to the very end. In this conversation, he shares the exact moment he made the first real step — and how everything changed once he committed. From that point on, Jake began a series of extreme physical and mental challenges to prepare himself, including pushing his limits in ways most people never would - even running a marathon on ice.

Together, Mesi and Jake dive deep into what confidence truly means, how it’s built, and how it affects every area of life - from goals and discipline to identity and self-belief. Jake breaks down the mindset shifts that helped him move from hesitation to full commitment, and how preparation, discomfort, and self-trust shaped his transformation.

This episode is for anyone who’s been sitting on a dream, waiting for “the right time,” or struggling to finish what they start. If you’ve ever felt stuck between who you are and who you could become - this conversation will light a fire.
