Featured Interview With Jared Heldt
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
Raised in the pacific northwest, I’m fairly introverted, I do like to go out some. Growing up I did martial arts for about 8 years. I got into philosophy and spirituality when I was in high school. I’m also a big tech guy as well, always had generally a console and a pc. I used to work as a prep cook and cook but it was a stressful occupation. I’ve been dealing with health issues since I was 21 and going on 30 now, I try to bring more awareness to these health problems as well.
I have 4 dogs, some chickens and goats.
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I think early on, I know when I was a teenager I was big into science fiction, fantasy but also manga as well. I started to read Lord of the Rings, Wheel of Time series and the Ender series as well. There were other books I got into as well, like the writing of Bruce Lee but also books on buddhism and martial arts as well.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
My favorite authors would have to be Timothy Ferriss, Neil Strauss, Paulo Coelho, Teal Swan, Dave Asprey, George R.R. Martin and those are the ones I can remember. I started out with fantasy and science fiction but I also like to read books on self-development, business, spirituality, and philosophy.
Timothy Ferriss but also Paulo Coelho have been big influences, both “The Alchemist” and “Four Hour Work Week” not only changed my life but my perspective and so much more.
Tell us a little about your latest book?
Psynautical is a book which is a collection of past articles, blog posts mixed in with some new content and some resources as well.
I felt like I had enough material to do a small, fairly inexpensive ebook that I could expand on over time and follow up on. It covers biohacking, martial arts, self development, business and some other topics as well.
