Busy parents...

You don't need to trust me yet. Just be willing to talk.

On our call, we’ll sketch a practical, action-based plan—so you walk away clearer on what your child needs next and whether my approach is truly the right match.

That means this call isn’t about convincing you of anything. It’s about protecting your time, your money, and your child’s trust.

No pressure. No scripts. Just a straight, honest conversation about your child, and what it would really take for them to handle hard things without falling apart.

Watch the video, or if you prefer to read what I recorded - keep scrolling.

You already know your child is struggling—you see the shutdowns, meltdowns, or half-finished attempts. 

This page is for parents who are done guessing and want a clear, action-based plan tailored to their kid—not another one-size-fits-all solution.

What makes it even worse?

Your kid is probably tired of talking about the same stuff with different people. They don’t want another conversation.

They want ACTION.

And honestly, I don’t blame them. I’d be sick and tired of “talking it out,” too. You don’t need another one of these sessions.

You want real action steps that create real results.

If you're not ready for a call with me, I understand. That’s why I included the Growth Stage Assessment on this page: so you’re not throwing your child (and your wallet) at another one-size-fits-all solution.

This quick assessment helps you see what growth stage your child is in, so you can finally make a smarter decision about what kind of help they actually need.

I don’t claim I can “fix” your child.

What I do is train kids and teens to become someone who can handle hard things without falling apart—and you’ll see exactly how I do that before you ever take the quiz or book a free session with me.

This isn’t therapy.

It’s a structured, field-tested method that helps kids build:

If this is your first introduction to me, let me tell you, I’m not famous.

I didn’t write a bunch of books on child psychology, or do a bunch of lectures around the globe…

I did something more effective.

You see, I didn’t want to spend endless years theorizing about change.

I didn’t want to sit in an office chair talking about problems that really never get fixed.

I’ve been quietly working in my lab for the last thirty plus years face-to-face with kids, teens, and eventually adults, who were too shy to look me in the eye, shivered with nervousness because they were too timid or terrified, and the voiceless youth that clung to their safety net because they didn’t have the courage to stand up for themselves.

I wanted to be in the trenches fighting the battle alongside these warriors to see them win it.

Instead of running from or avoiding their own fears or doubts, they face them and fight them.

Through training and practice, they got the tools to change their mindset, build momentum, and shift the direction of their life.

They no longer carried unfinished business around.

They found clarity, built confidence, and created behaviors that delivered positive results.

They made themselves into someone and they learned to handle any situation or setback without spiraling into darkness.

They started with nothing and left with a specialized skillset that they could use in all areas of their life, even as they grew and life changed.

When I graduated high school, I was directionless.

No fault to my parents, teachers, coaches, counselors, or anyone.

They all tried their best.

I knew I wanted something, but I didn’t know what that “something” was.

I didn’t want to chase off to college.

I wasn’t looking to find a career path.

And I definitely wasn’t thinking about settling down or starting a family.

I’d always been shy, timid, and soft spoken…and I never really tried to be a leader or bring attention to my existence.

I didn’t know who I was or what I was capable of.

I was just a follower who was sick and tired of following what everyone else was telling me to do or pointing me in a direction to go.

I wanted to lead my own life, create my own path, and follow my own interests.

I always had this fascination since the age of five with martial arts.

But, it wasn’t the kicking, blocking, or punching that captivated me…it was the magical side of something deeper that drew me into the training.

It was this unseen world that I could explore and discover things in that only a few ever experience.

Those few became like the Jedi in Star Wars - powerful.

Not powerful to use against anyone…even though you could…but powerful because you got a deeper understanding of yourself.

You no longer lived with fear or doubt or uncertainty.

You create a total alignment of all parts of you.

This connection puts you in touch with yourself, your past, and your future.

You live, you have purpose, and you find happiness without feeling regret or resentment.

You are true to yourself.

So, I went down to the ONLY local martial arts school in my tiny little town in Dickinson, ND and enrolled myself in martial arts at eighteen.

That September day, over thirty some years ago, was the start of my “Jedi” training.

I spent about two and a half years there until I realized that my instructor wasn’t the “Master” who I wanted to continue with.

His views were shallow.

The only thing he wanted to teach was the sport of martial arts or fighting.

He wasn’t interested in anything other than money and having you test for belts to make more money.

Don’t get me wrong, I started in classes to learn how to fight, but it's the exploration of myself that helped me craft a system that changed the direction…and ultimately lives of students who embark on this with me.

If you went to the police and asked them to investigate a crime, who would you want?

An investigator who assumed you were like all the other cases that landed on their desk. There was no real investigative work done. They just assumed that all humans are the same and blew you off. Or worse, just told you to keep your doors locked.

Or do you want a very good investigator assigned to your case?

Someone who is going to unearth all the evidence, hunt for all the facts, search for all possible clues, and find the one culprit that fits the crime?

When it comes to us experts helping you help your child, most just fit the first investigator. They just assume all humans are the same and provide you with the same generic process.

What you’d hope would happen if they were trying to help your child with a particular problem is to investigate, hunt, uncover, and find the one thing that would help fix it.

That’s why I have this free conversation call. It is a way to help you investigate what growth stage your child is in. Without knowing this, you can’t possibly know who can help or who can not help.

This initial investigation does two useful things for you:

1. It gives you a snapshot of where your child is and what next steps to take.
2. That snapshot gives you an early “report” to begin looking for the right “match” for your child.

I’m not even saying at this time that anything I have will help.

And you might find out that I definitely am NOT the right person for your family. If you find that out, then you are already miles ahead.

You can only discover a snapshot of where your child is, so you can have a better direction to point for help.

That help might not come from anyone except yourself.

This exploratory call gives you a launching pad of sorts to know where to start.

There are NO upsells, cross-selling, or down-selling that happen.

You pick a date and time, you enter some details for the call, and then we get to know each other from there. There are NO obligations to do anything after the call.

I figured there wasn’t much for me anymore in my hometown, so I needed to get out and spread my wings.

The Marine Corps is like modern-day Sparta.

You learn an ethos, you are made into a warrior, and you get to be part of a small but very close-knit fellowship.

After basic training, I continued to train at various martial arts schools.

But, truthfully, I was wondering. I had no “home.”

And a warrior without a home is essentially directionless.

Being directionless is dangerous.

It can lead you down many dark paths.

And that’s what was happening to me until I found a new home.

I always had this dream to be on a martial arts team, and I had this opportunity to try out for a newly formed All Marine Corps Tae Kwon Do Team.

After a rigorous full-day try out with about seventy other Marines, I was one of the few fifteen selected.

That’s where I met retired Gunnery Sergeant Master Luis De La Rosa.

Let me tell you, there was and never will be anyone like him.

He had been who I was searching for my whole martial arts teacher journey life.

He made me think.

He pointed directly at what needed to be addressed.

He made me find myself.

I didn’t even know that I didn’t know what I needed.

I came there with the hopes to be on this once in a lifetime team, and left with direction, purpose, and clarity of action.

I was introduced to a way.

And that way, turned into my passion to help others uncover their true self, find confidence in clarity that leads to action, and discipline toward direction in life.

Even though I was already teaching these skills three months into my own martial arts training as an assistant instructor at my first school, it wasn’t until after this Marine Corps experience that I started working in my lab.

There, I tested, retested, and refined my methods every single day.

I wanted to make sure that I had enough of a test group to call what I did effective.

Not a guarantee, but useful!

I wanted to make sure the skill sets could be used anywhere under any conditions in any situation.

But to do this I needed to find the worst of all cases.

I wanted them to have completely different backgrounds. I wanted them to have gone to countless other coaches. If they had been to multiple therapists, that was even better.

And, I wanted them to have tried everything.

I didn’t always get the worst cases, but I did find more than I expected.

Then, I got to work.

In the beginning, I was failing.

They were coming in and leaving with nothing useful at all.

I knew what I had gone through and I knew how my life changed because of what I’d studied, done, and shared with others.

So, why wasn’t I able to replicate the same in others?

That’s when a light bulb flipped on.

It wasn’t just a single element of my training that shifted my direction.

It wasn’t just martial arts.

It was a combination of elements that needed to be included in order to create the chemical change that led to confidence in oneself, courage to live with passion, and discipline to find success.

That’s when I started adding the warrior training element, the intellectual element, and the spiritual awakening element.

Almost overnight, my classroom morphed into something powerful.

That’s when I started Building Powerful Kids. That’s where my Cognitive Adaptability Method was created.

In a forty-five minute training session, I started shifting beliefs, building behaviors, and delivering outcomes that led to incredible results.

That’s where I started unleashing the inner muscle, medicine, and magic in each and every single one of my students.

What was once something I found no longer belonged to just me. It was something that belonged to everyone I could impact through their training with me.

That’s how I got to helping an estimated 10,000+ students over the last thirty-four, and counting now, years.

But, there was one other group I privately worked with in my lab: the high strung energy bunnies, labeled ADD or ADHD kids.

Both these types of kids were on the same path, they just didn’t know it.

Where the shy, timid kids were struggling with confidence and courage, the bouncing off the wall kids were struggling with focus and concentration.

Both can be improved with the same method.

My worst case student was AJ.

He was about eight when his parents enrolled him.

He couldn’t stand still for longer than five seconds, and then he’d be off in his own little world.

I could understand AJ because I was the same at that age.

In my case, it led to being diagnosed with a learning disability.

Every day AJ came to class, I would challenge him the whole forty-five minutes. I never let up.

That’s until one day his mother had a one-to-one chat with me.

She asked me if I would go easier on him because she was afraid I was breaking his spirit.

So, I obliged since she was sitting through class watching the whole time.

Instantly, he went back to bouncing off the walls…learning nothing useful.

But she got pulled out of the classroom to keep her younger son from destroying the place.

With mom gone, I got back to work.

For the next three years, AJ and I had an understanding.

He learned how to harness his energy and use it in a way that led to success in his life.

After about a total of six years of training, he headed into other interests.

A couple years later, he ran up to me while I was standing in a Home Depot aisle.

Excited to see me, he said, “Master Jason! I want to thank you for never letting up on me, and teaching me what you taught me about focus. It has been your lessons and that one thing I believe that has given me the power to make it on my school’s rowing team, and it was my first attempt.”

We talked for a while about his journey on the rowing team.

And that’s about when his father surprisingly found him talking to me, he was so excited as well to tell me about how much he’s taken from the classes and put it into use.

What this gave AJ was the POWER over his life. The confidence to know what steps to take to reach any goal he set.

Now, I’m not under the delusion that I can help every student. There are some times when the timing is never right, or maybe I’m never the right coach.

If you went to a doctor and they didn’t take the time to ask you anything and just prescribed you some medicine without any diagnosis, would you take it?

They just said, here take this. It cures everything!

You probably wouldn’t. And, if you did, it probably wouldn’t help. It most likely would cause more harm.

Unless it’s harmless or some placebo.

But, that’s what most experts do with parents when it comes to helping their child. They simply prescribe you to do this, or use this, or take this without ever diagnosing the issue, challenge, or problem.

And when they do “diagnosis,” most prescriptions are a one-size-fits all solution.

You need something unique to your child’s problem.

Unless the doctor knows more about the ailment, they can’t decide what to do next and neither can you.

I’m NOT saying I’m a doctor.

And, I’m definitely NOT a therapist.

And, at this point in our relationship, I can’t say what I can or cannot do.

I can assure you no matter if someone spends forty-five with me, four months, or four years, they’ll get something powerful to use in their life.

That’s why I have this free conversation call.

It’s a starting point for parents. It does two useful things for you:

1. It gives you a snapshot of where your child is and what next steps to take.
2. That snapshot gives you an early “diagnosis” to begin looking for the right “medicine” for your child.

I’m not even saying at this time that anything I have will help.

I can’t guarantee my program helps anyone.

And you might find out that I definitely am NOT the right person for your family. If you find that out, then you are already miles ahead.

This exploratory call gives you a launching pad of sorts to know where to start.

There are NO upsells, cross-selling, or down-selling that happen.

You pick a date and time, you enter some details, and then we get to know each other from there.
