The Power of Words and the Currency of Love with Jason Raitz

In this episode of What Are You Made Of?, Mike “C-Roc” sits down with storyteller, communicator, and founder of Speak With People, Jason Raitz. Jason opens up about the grit, love, persistence, and fun that have shaped his life and career, from his first spark of inspiration at an 11-year-old in a Detroit concert hall to building a business that helps leaders connect through authentic communication.

He shares the highs of speaking on hundreds of stages and the lows of walking away from a toxic church environment that left him burned out and questioning his identity. With raw honesty, Jason talks about navigating seasons of setback, entrepreneurship’s risks, the challenges of raising a family with special needs, and even his battle with medicating stress through food. Through it all, he emphasizes the power of words to either tear down or breathe life into others and explains why true leadership is built on love, connection, and speaking with people, not at them.

This is a vulnerable, inspiring conversation about resilience, communication as currency, and rediscovering who you are when everything else feels uncertain.
