What does it take to pick yourself out of depression and turn personal struggles into meaningful change? In this episode of On The Homefront, Jeff Dudan sits down with fellow App State alum Jack Scalise, who stopped by the studio for an in-person interview. Jack opens up about how he overcame some of his darkest moments to launch The Mindful Project—a business built to foster connection and promote mental well-being. They also reflect on their experiences in Boone, North Carolina, sharing how those challenges helped shape who they are today. Throughout his journey, Jack noticed how many people struggle with shyness and awkwardness, often finding it hard to form real connections. In response, he created a conversation-driven card game as part of The Mindful Project, designed to bridge that social gap and help people connect without discomfort. The game, focused on fostering meaningful relationships and mental wellness, will be launching soon. Follow Jack’s social media channels to stay updated on the release. This raw and inspiring conversation is packed with lessons on mental health, social media success, and entrepreneurship that you won’t want to miss.
