The Good Stuff Podcast

Jake and Ashley dedicate their lives to serving the veteran and first responders community which is incredibly rewarding work. It can also be thoroughly taxing. This episode is about the concept of “healthy-selfish” (the act of self-care) and in particular, the remarkably healing qualities of travel. Tune in for a conversation about some of their recent trips to Alaska, Ireland and Scotland - and how enjoying this amazing planet can reunite us with our free souls within. 

Celebrated actor, director and producer Bradley Cooper joins The Good Stuff Podcast. Bradley and Good Stuff host Jacob Schick met on the set of American Sniper and after a rocky start quickly became close friends. Over the years they have been there for each other through some of their darkest times and most joyous moments. Jacob, Ashley and Nick talk with Bradley about the importance of meaningful friendships, hilarious Hollywood stories, golden memories of USO tours, the spirit of serving others, and what currently lights his path. Not only is Bradley Cooper today’s very special guest but his company Lea Pictures has been executive producing The Good Stuff Podcast since our very first episode. It’s a real pleasure to have him on the show and we are incredibly thankful to Bradley, Weston, Kristen, Rebecca and Maxine.

The Schick family cordially invites you into their life for a week’s worth of Texas football.  Join producer Nick as he steps into the passionate world of tough hits, hard work, big hugs and deep love. Jake and Ashley reflect on the gifts football has given them and then Jake and Ashley’s boys join the show and we learn what it means to be receiving those gifts in real time. This is an episode about football, which in Texas means it’s an episode about family.

While this season of The Good Stuff has invited you deep into the fight for mental and emotional wellness in the veteran community, this episode we bring you one man’s story in his own words. It’s our honor to introduce you to Cody Turner. As you’ll hear, Cody joins the show at an unthinkably vulnerable moment in his life. It’s hard to express how just how much his participation meant to Jake, Ashley and Nick and it’s our absolute privilege to help spread Cody’s courage. RIP Angie.

Happy Veterans Day and welcome to a free-spirited, open-minded conversation between three friends. Jacob (a veteran), Ashley (a gold-star granddaughter and spouse of a veteran), and Nick (a civilian) do what they do best: connect about things big, small, funny, infuriating, difficult and beautiful. Tune in for the real talk about issues facing veterans and stay around for the healthy dose of good vibes.
