Jack Jablonski has a tattoo on his forearm, it reads: “I understand my injury. I don’t accept it.” That should give you some insight as to who he is and how he perceives the future.
In this episode of Spinal Cast, we have a candid conversation as Jack reflects on the past 13 years. We discuss his injury, experience with the SpineX SCONE spinal electrical stimulator, and his decision to come out as a gay man. We also explore his current role with the LA Kings, love of hockey, and the inspiring work of his foundation. Jack’s determination is undeniable. Through raising awareness and staying true to himself, Jack’s voice resonates with anyone facing adversity, reminding us all of the power of resilience and being our true selves.

Intentionally Disturbing
Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
