Partners, Fathers, Leaders: A Conversation with Marcus Straub & Jason Jepson (Part 1)

Episode Summary:
What happens when two strong, driven, and deeply introspective men sit down to discuss life, love, loss, and legacy? You get one of the most insightful and thought-provoking conversations yet on THE P-I-G. In this episode, we introduce you to two of the most important people in our lives—Kellie’s husband, Marcus, and Erin’s boyfriend, Jason. But this isn’t just about their connection to us. These two powerful, intelligent, and deeply reflective men have built their own unique legacies—shaped by love, heartbreak, success, and tremendous loss.

• Jason is a devoted father, an entrepreneur, and a creative visionary who has carved his own path both professionally and personally. He is someone who loves deeply, sees possibility everywhere, and has experienced profound shifts throughout his life that have shaped who he is today.
  
  
• Marcus is a 20+ year life and business coach who has spent decades helping people navigate the complexities of life—guiding them through personal transformation, owning their reality, and learning how to embrace love, loss, and reinvention with clarity and purpose. He has worked with thousands of clients worldwide, including us—Erin, Jason, and Kellie—to help us grow into better versions of ourselves and prepare for The Boxes and The P-I-G projects.

 
Join us as we dive into...

• How Jason unknowingly set this journey in motion by introducing The Boxes to his longtime friend and film/television producer Chris Howard.
• Marcus’s perspective as both a husband and a coach—and how watching The Boxes project unfold has deepened his view on legacy.
• The defining moments that shaped their lives—the loves they’ve cherished, the losses they’ve endured, and the lessons they’ve carried forward.
• How fatherhood has influenced their understanding of legacy, and what they hope to leave behind for their own children and families.
• The shifts they’ve witnessed in our relationship as sisters—and how this project has impacted our family dynamics…and so much more!

This episode is raw, insightful, and deeply personal. It’s about what it means to be a strong, emotionally aware man in today’s world, how to navigate love and loss with intention, and how to build a life that truly matters.
