Becoming Heart Strong isn’t about what you’ve built or what broke you—it’s about who you’ve become. Hosted by Jess Lindberg, this podcast invites leaders, founders, and everyday changemakers into honest conversations about the challenges that shape us—and the strength we forge through them. These aren’t surface-level interviews. They’re vulnerable, grounded, and real. We talk about the losses, pivots, breakthroughs, and decisions that transformed not just someone’s path, but their character and lives. Because it’s not what happened to you or what you’ve accomplished that defines you—it’s who you choose to become, and what you create from the hard things. Every episode goes beyond the story to offer tools, strategies, and insights—especially from experts—to help you grow stronger in your own life. You’ll leave with not just inspiration, but practical ways to take your next step. If you’re ready to grow through what you go through, lead with heart, and live with deeper courage, this show is for you.

J.A. Happ has spent the last 13 years as a pitcher in Major League Baseball. From his midwest roots to the World Series, we discuss his journey and what he’s learned along the way. J.A. has so much wisdom to offer from thoughts on mindset, what it takes to operate at a high level, how the best advice he’s gotten from his mom.
We discuss youth sports and how important sports are for the game of life. J.A. shares that hard work will trump talent any day and that we gain confidence by putting in the hard work so we can show up when it’s our turn to play.
J.A. just retired from the game and he talks about that decision and reflects on the highs and lows of his career and how baseball has positioned him for the next season of his life.
