SOUL PATH PODCAST | SEASON 3 EP04 : INITIATED MAN

THE BARBER PRIEST.

In this mythic episode of Initiated Man, Marko Petrovic welcomes Jake Putan—modern-day barber, mentor, and ceremonial space holder—to explore the forgotten roots of his craft and the ancient initiatory role once held by those who wielded the blade.

Jake shares how climbing the ladder of success in the barbering world left him hollow, until a series of life-altering initiations—marked by retreats, spiritual mentors, and a pilgrimage to Egypt—reawakened the deeper essence of his calling. From cutting hair in ancient temples to realizing his lineage as a “barber priest,” Jake unpacks the spiritual dimensions of listening, surrender, and trusting the unseen path.

This episode is a testament to the mysterious thread that runs through all things, showing us how even the most ordinary professions can be portals for profound transformation—when remembered in their sacred origin. It’s a journey of miracles, moneyless trust, and full-bodied devotion to life’s wild unfolding.

Whether you’re holding scissors or just seeking to cut through illusion—this conversation offers a transmission for all who are walking the edge of destiny.
