"Live It. Breathe It. Be It." with Jay Gross (E134)

In this inspiring episode of the Unlocking Unlimited Potential STORIES Show, Dr. Brandon Beck sits down with Jay Gross (@jgross811), a 36-year veteran educator whose journey into teaching is anything but ordinary.

Jay’s story begins with a devastating motorcycle accident...an event that could have ended his life but instead became the defining moment that gave him a renewed purpose. Through his recovery, he discovered his calling to teach, inspire, and uplift others. In a full-circle twist, he was hired into education by one of his former students, and from that point forward, his impact has reached countless lives.

Over the years, Jay has become an award-winning speaker and educator, known for his infectious positivity, deep care for students and colleagues, and relentless commitment to helping others find joy and purpose in their work. His mantra, “Live It. Breathe It. Be It.” is more than a phrase—it’s the way he approaches leadership, teaching, and life.

In this conversation, we explore:

• How a single defining moment can completely reshape your path.

• The power of relationships and full-circle leadership in education.

• Practical strategies for staying inspired and avoiding burnout.

Whether you’re a new teacher finding your footing, a seasoned leader searching for renewed energy, or someone looking for inspiration in the face of life’s challenges, Jay’s story is filled with wisdom and encouragement that will resonate deeply.
