“Wise beyond his years for obvious reasons. I haven’t always believed in God, but I am telling you now I do. The feeling I had listening to his story was unexplainable. ”
MEET YOUR GUIDE
Bubba Herrick is a former Division I pitcher at Jacksonville University whose career was cut short by a life-changing near-death experience — his heart stopped during a routine elbow surgery. In the years that followed, he faced anxiety he couldn't explain, crushing self-doubt, and a full identity crisis, with no roadmap for finding his way back to who he was.
Flow state was the way back — the same feeling he'd touched once on a pitching mound years earlier, and the same thing he encountered when his heart stopped. Now he works as a guide, helping people move through fear, self-doubt, and a stalled sense of purpose to find their way back into that state — in their work, their relationships, and their own heads.
Through speaking and 1:1 guidance, he shares what he wishes someone had told him: you don't have to almost die to give yourself a second chance at really living.

“Working with Bubba on mental health and performance has completely shifted my perspective and strengthened the foundation of how I approach pro ball day in and day out. If you’re serious about taking your life and career to the next level, I couldn’t recommend working with him more.”

"Bubba has clearly been chosen by a divine power to inspire. This generation is blessed to have such a hero dedicated to changing this world. It is a rare and wonderful gift he brings. Besides hearing his story, I have had the privilege to work alongside Bubba in delivering Storytelling Workshops; he’s a special human.
