28 December 2025, 5:01 pm - 43 minutes 25 secondsThe 2026 War Plan: Focus, Identity, and the One Thing That Changes Everything
Every year, Jai Long sits down in what he calls the war room... a blank whiteboard, big unrealistic goals, and a plan that forces him to become the next version of himself.
But here’s the truth he keeps rediscovering:
Every time he sets vague goals, he ends up planning a comfortable year, and comfort never leads to expansion.In this episode of Make Your Break, Jai reveals the yearly ritual that changes everything:
Choosing one mission
Blocking out three months off
Asking what he wants to be known for in the new year
And letting go of the noise, hacks, and overwhelm that keep creators distracted
He shares why focusing on a single audacious project, like a book launch, creates more identity shift, more momentum, and more impact than following 100 tactics from gurus, podcasts, and business books.
You’ll learn:
Why you start each year planning vague “safe” actions, and how to break that cycle
The secret to designing a year that actually excites you
How one mission can outperform every multitasking strategy combined
Why deeper focus beats doing more, every time
How to set up your 2026 so you move further ahead than everyone in your space
This is the mindset that will define your next chapter.
Not doing more.
But doing the right thing… deeper.Share this episode on Instagram and tag @jailong.co — it’s how this podcast reaches more creatives who need it.

21 December 2025, 5:01 pm - 38 minutes 27 secondsSay Yes to Your Future: The Mindset That Will Define Your 2026
Your future self is waiting... but it’s up to you to close the distance.
In this episode of Make Your Break, Jai Long dives deep into one of the most powerful mindset shifts for 2026: learning to say yes to the version of you who already exists 12 months from now. The one who’s braver. Louder. More intentional. More creative. The one who finally stopped sitting on ideas and started saying the things they needed to say.
Jai challenges you to rethink your content, not as something you “have to do,” but as a gift. A lifeline. Someone out there needs your words, your story, your perspective... and they’re stuck because you haven’t shared it yet.
Inside this episode, Jai explores:
Why the moment you say no, you disconnect from your future self
How your content impacts people two years behind you, even when you feel invisible
Why your “imperfect posts” are someone else’s inspiration
How to evaluate your next chapter by asking better questions
What you must let go of to enter 2026 with clarity
How to step into your potential and finally make your break
Jai also shares why he’s opening the Business Map to just 30 people for 2026... a small, intentional container designed to brainstorm, create, get real-time feedback, and build your new identity together over 12 months. No more giant programs. No more hustle. Just deep, impactful creation alongside Jai himself.
If you’re ready to write a new chapter… if you’re tired of playing small… if you want 2026 to be the year you finally meet the future version of you , this episode is your spark.

30 November 2025, 5:01 pm - 28 minutes 25 secondsThe New Era of Content: Slowing Down to Stand Out in 2026
In 2026, the most underrated creative power won’t be trends, speed, or algorithms... it will be slow, intentional content.
In this episode of Make Your Break, Jai Long takes you behind the scenes of two decades of creating content, from MySpace days and newspaper publicity stunts to becoming one of Instagram’s earliest top creators long before Reels existed.
Jai reflects on the rise and fall of platforms… the pressure to keep up… and the heartbreaking moment in 2012–2013 when so many talented creatives quit because they felt overwhelmed, unseen, or simply burned out.
Now, moving into 2026, Jai shares why the pendulum is swinging.
Why depth is beating speed.
Why intentional storytelling is outperforming random virality.
And why creators who slow down will actually stand out more than ever in a saturated, noisy world.Inside this episode you'll learn:
Why thoughtful content will outperform high volume in 2026
The creative cycles Jai has watched evolve since the early 2000s
Behind-the-scenes stories from the early Instagram era
Why Reels didn’t start as Reels, and what that means for the next shift
How consumers are changing the game (again)
What photographers and creatives should prioritise right now
If you’re tired of chasing the algorithm… if you feel like content is getting faster and heavier… if you want to make 2026 the year you create with intention, clarity, and purpose, this one is for you.

In today’s episode of Make Your Break, Jai dives into the real reason travel changes you… and why it’s one of the most underrated tools for creative growth.
This isn’t a “visit new places and take cool photos” conversation.
This is about observation, submersion, and perspective ... the kind of perspective you only earn when you drop yourself into a new culture, a new rhythm, a new way of living.Jai talks about:
• The power of slowing down and truly seeing the world around you
• How stepping into the unknown reveals your blind spots, your fears, and your biggest opportunities
• Why the things that divide us, scare us, or feel uncomfortable often hold the deepest lessons
• How travel resets your nervous system, your habits, your creativity, and your ambition
• The difference between consuming a place and contributing to it, and why giving back matters more than ever
• How new environments show you new ways to work, think, build, create, and leadThis episode is a reminder…
You don’t travel to escape your life, you travel to expand it.
To shake yourself awake.
To remember who you are when the world is bigger and your patterns are smaller.If you’re craving a reset… if you want 2026 to look different… or if you just need a spark in your creativity again, this one’s for you.

18 November 2025, 6:00 am - 36 minutes 10 secondsThe Truth About Why Your Business Isn’t Growing (And It’s Not What You Think) [EP314]
If you’ve ever wondered why your business feels stuck—even though you’re doing so much—this episode is for you.
Jai Long gets real about the biggest mistake he keeps making: taking on too many projects at once. From launching multiple businesses to offering too many services or chasing too many niches, spreading yourself thin is killing your momentum (and your income).
In this episode, Jai shares how going all-in on one thing can change everything. You’ll learn why simplicity scales, how to create a clear focus plan, and the power of time-blocking your day for deep work (plus—why you need to rest once the job’s done). Backed by science, personal stories, and hard-earned lessons, this is your sign to stop playing around and finally make the impact you know you’re capable of.
