Archie Clay III on Healing After Failure, Identity Loss & Breaking the Ego

Archie Clay III joins Dr. Jay Barnett for a raw and restorative episode of Heal with Dr. Jay — one that will speak to every entrepreneur, every dreamer, and every person who’s ever had to mourn the version of life they thought they’d be living.

In this intimate conversation, Archie unpacks the hidden layers of what it meant to lose something he helped build from the ground up — his brand Wear Brims. But this isn’t just about business. It’s about manhood. It’s about ego. It’s about the deep grief that comes when identity is wrapped in success, and the success crumbles.

He talks about feeling like a failure… and not just financially. Spiritually. Emotionally. Internally. And Dr. Jay helps him peel back the shame to find the true source of healing: being honest about the pain, not rushing through the process, and understanding that identity doesn’t die when plans do.

This episode will challenge what you think healing looks like. It's not always prayer and praise. Sometimes, it’s confusion. Sometimes, it’s detachment. Sometimes, it’s having a breakdown in your closet, where nobody can see you. But healing — real healing — begins when you stop hiding your wounds.

If you’ve ever felt like your life took a turn you didn’t plan for, or your sense of worth got tangled up in what you could produce, this episode is your reminder: you are not your losses. You are not your mistakes. You are not done.

Watch now — and just heal.
