A Veteran led Leadership & High-Performance Mastermind​ in the Most Extreme Classroom on Earth: Mt. Kilimanjaro​

The Next Mission Project is a transformative expedition to summit Mt. Kilimanjaro, designed specifically for U.S. veterans who are overcoming PTSD and seeking new purpose. This mission combines the power of nature, physical challenge, and a proven High Performance Coaching (HPC) curriculum to deliver lasting mental, emotional, and spiritual breakthroughs.

WHY THIS MISSION MATTERS

Veterans are struggling to transition. They have been trained to lead in combat zones, but no one has trained them to live in everyday life. Uncertainty, Isolation, and loss of identity.

THE NEXT MISSION PROJECT DELIVERS:

  • A clear and powerful purpose through physical challenge

  • Brotherhood and bonding through a small, elite cohort

  • Tools for long-term transformation through HPC training

  • Post-traumatic growth by shifting identity from survivor to mission-driven leader

THE OPPORTUNITY

This expedition isn’t just about climbing a mountain. It’s about rewiring how veterans think, operate, and create lasting change. The expedition leaders are certified high-performance coaches who have walked the path and understand the struggles these veterans face. ​

THE OUTCOME

A life-changing experience- a reset button. Graduates ​return with clarity, confidence, and a recalibrated mindset for peak performance.​​

THE EXPERIENCE

PHYSICAL & MENTAL BREAKTHROUGHS

Climbing Kilimanjaro creates a life changing opportunity for veterans to focus on self, build resilience, and find their purpose and identity post service. ​

Strategic training on finding purpose, identifying “next mission”, provide tools to navigate military to civilian transition, and provide tools to address PTSD/Trauma.

  • -Craig H. • Master Sergeant, U.S. Army, Retired

    “I can’t say enough about working with Jay. His coaching and mentorship is not only helping me getting closer to achieving my personal and professional goals but have also pushed me to better myself as a husband, father, and friends. If it weren’t for my work with him, I’d still be stuck. Instead, I’m pushing myself harder and farther than I ever would have on my own.”

  • -James T. • Captain, U.S. Army, Retired

    “Working with Jay really helped me during a challenging time with my military transition. I needed to get focused on my next career, overcome some health issues, and didn’t know where I wanted to live and whether I wanted to maintain my relationship with my girlfriend. However, with Jay’s help, I successfully transitioned, got refocused on my fitness goals, landed my dream job in cyber security, and am engaged to be married."

  • Lorenzo V. • CEO of Force Multiplier Self-Defense Systems and Host of the Force Multiplier Podcast

    “Leaving the Marine Corps was tough. I am so grateful for Jay who taught me the importance of boundaries and provided some strategies to help me get focused on my goals and helped me make my dream career a reality. I started taking care of my health and fitness, started a podcast, and now use my skills helping law enforcement and first responders by teaching self-defense tactics.”
