Jesse's documentary film company, Coming Home, focuses on the phenomenon of Near-Death Experiences and the evolution of consciousness. As a licensed psychotherapist, Jesse has a private practice and leads transformative mens work in several CA State Prisons with the GRIP Training Institute.

Jesse also sits on the board of two family foundations, General Service Foundation and John Lloyd Foundation.

The study of Near-Death Experiences, which I believe can bring spirituality into the Secular Age without the dogma of organized Religion. The emergence of persistent digital objects on the blockchain, and how they are an emergent feature of culture. The intersection of trauma, healing, initiation, and justice - at a time when the world is facing a Meaning Crisis. I believe in the importance of recapturing Meaning in our lives, individually and collectively.

All humans have at their center something infinite and eternal. Our modern culture, however, is losing the language to talk about it. We are outgrowing the dogmatism of traditional religions throughout the world; yet modern secularism and its philosophy of scientific materialism leaves people hungry for real and authentic Meaning. Especially during a time of upheaval and uncertainty. I believe the emerging field of Near-Death Experiences offers evidence-based research into the reality of what we call the Self. This is the spiritual principle beneath the surface of the personality and has had many names throughout history: the Soul, the Daimon, the Genius, or the Self. Carl Jung believed we ignore the collective unconscious (and our own unconscious) at our peril. To embrace and inquire into the psyche requires patience, curiosity, and depth; it also requires diving into the numinous world of spirituality. Listening to the stories of people who have died and then come back, and how they share the meaning they have discovered, is something that makes the world a better place.
