The Blueprint
Welcome to The Blueprint Podcast — where we throw out the old blueprint so you can become who you were always meant to be.
I’m Jason Smith — podcaster, coach, and storyteller. I help people reclaim their sense of self, rebuild confidence, and move through life with more direction and purpose.
This podcast is about the work of becoming — what it really takes to rebuild after loss, heartbreak, or major transition. You’ll hear raw conversations, honest insights, and stories from people who’ve had to start over and build something stronger.
Listeners describe the show as direct, grounded, and real — the kind of perspective that helps you make sense of where you are and reminds you of what’s still possible.
