Today I’m really excited to bring you one of the best and brightest bloggers committed to living an extraordinary life and inspiring others to do the same. His name is Jacob Sokol and he writes at Sensophy.com.

I didn’t know much about Jacob until I heard his interview on Blogcast FM earlier this year. After that interview, I became an instant fan. He’s got such a positive message and is lives by it.

Today his first guide, Living on Purpose, which he spent the last 6 months pouring his heart into, is available and I asked Jacob to do an interview for us so you can learn how he turned his life around.

I’ve listened to your interview on Blogcast FM in my car many times because I love your story and energy! 

For those who aren’t familiar with your story, could you tell us what you were doing before you started Sensophy.com?

Many times?! DUDE!!! I’m honored and thrilled to have resonated with you so much – thanks for sharing that. As far as life before Sensophy, MAN, I was doing what most people do.

I was doing the “right” things that I was “supposed” to do. These are the things that society subtly suggests we ought to do. I had the “good” job, to pay the bills, to buy more junk, and never have time to enjoy it. I was too busy repeating this vicious cycle.

I was working for a small IT company in the heart of Times Square NYC – awesome job but horrible lifestyle. I didn’t understand what the hell was wrong with me. I had money and a social life but I still felt miserable half the time. Deep inside I knew there had to be more to life than that.

This is an interview of JK Allen from the Hustler’s Notebook. JK is a phenomenal blogger who writes about experience-based, value-rich content in the domain of personal development, for business and life.

For those who may not know you, tell us about why you started blogging. 

I started blogging as a means of serving others. For me, blogging is an outlet to share some of the lessons I’ve learned throughout life, in an effort to impact others in a positive way.

In your writings you come across as full of confidence, what’s your advice for someone to build up their confidence? 

I think a lot has to do with personality. Some people are reserved and display their confidence in different ways. The reason I’m confident in my writing is because I mostly write about things that I’ve experienced. Writing from that layer gives me total confidence in what I’m saying because I’ve lived and breathed whatever the message is.

The most solid advice I can offer to others on being confident in your writing is to try to incorporate your experience and personal perspective into everything.

This is my first interview with someone I believe is doing great things in life and embodies the “get busy living” attitude. I interviewed Adrienne Smith, who is a good friend and have found her to be one of the hardest working, nicest person on the blogosphere.

Can you tell us a little bit about your old career, what you were doing before working full-time online?

I was an executive assistant and I worked for the president/owner of a small commercial real estate company.  I was also in the top 5% of income earners for my profession.

What was the turning point for you when you realized “This is not what I should be doing with my life?”

I guess you could say that the turning point came a few years after the loss of my father.  Three years before he passed away I also lost another dear friend due to a hypertension stroke brought on by stress.  He was my age and left a young son behind.

The loss of my father and remembering what took my friend’s life made me realize just how unhappy I really was and how I could see myself going in that same direction.  Just the stress of the job itself and all the other things I had to deal with on a daily basis were so unhealthy.  I went through therapy for a short time and it helped me put my life into perspective.
