Jason Ricci is one of the ten greatest blues harmonica players of all time, according to blues historian and leading musician Adam Gussow. He played on Johnny Winter’s Grammy-winning album Step Back. <\/em>Wi<\/em>th the Paul Shaffer Band, Tom Morello and Zac Brown, he helped to induct the Paul Butterfield Blues Band into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. On September 29, Gulf Coast Records released Behind the Veil<\/em> by Jason and his band, The Bad Kind.<\/p>\n

In 2011, some poor choices landed Jason in jail. However, what began as a nightmare became a gift, as he told me recently via the app Riverside. Here are eight lessons Jason learned the hard way, but you don\u2019t have to.<\/p>\n

At the end of each insight is a related question to reflect upon.<\/p>\n

1. The worst thing to happen to you may be a gift.<\/h2>\n

<\/fbs-ad><\/p>\n

For the first ninety days of imprisonment, Jason refused to have anything to do with anyone. He seethed with anger, in part because the felony he pleaded guilty to \u201cwas for something I didn\u2019t do\u201d\u2014hitting a police officer. \u201cI deserved to be in there,\u201d he told the audience at the Society for the Preservation and Advancement of the Harmonica annual conference in August. Just not for that offense. (There were two others that Jason did acknowledge as legitimate charges under the law.)<\/p>\n

Eventually, he decided to join some fellow inmates in daily exercise. He went to yoga classes. He began reading books offered to him by the jail\u2019s library. One in particular, Freedom on the Inside<\/em>, suggested that people can find freedom even in places where others control everything they do. Being free in this context means rethinking how one sees oneself and one\u2019s place in the world. Several months after he went to jail, he thought, \u201cI am finding a new freedom that I have never experienced before\u2026.So there’s a sense of peace.\u201d<\/p>\n

By the time Jason left jail, \u201cI was in the best physical, mental, and spiritual shape of my entire life.\u201d He says that none of this would have happened had he not spent those eight months behind bars.<\/p>\n

What does freedom mean to <\/em>you<\/em><\/strong>? How do you make the most of the freedom you have?<\/em><\/p>\n

2. Taking responsibility for your mistakes is the first step toward overcoming them.<\/h2>\n

When Jason landed in jail, he blamed everything and everyone but himself. \u201cSociety, the world, the cop, Mom and Dad, my brother, the job, the music industry\u2014[it was] everybody’s fault but mine.\u201d<\/p>\n

As he became physically and spiritually fit, Jason saw that the root of the problem was Jason himself. Several months in, \u201cI’m starting to let go completely of the question, \u2018Why did I land in this situation?\u2019 Through yoga, meditation and prayer, I started to realize that my life was a mess before coming in here.\u201d This realization led to, as he puts it, \u201ctaking accountability in action.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was only when he accepted the role that he had played in winding up in jail that Jason Ricci\u2019s life started to turn around.<\/p>\n

What mistakes are <\/em>you<\/em><\/strong> blaming on others? How might you find peace by facing your mistakes head-on, as Jason did?<\/em><\/p>\n

3. It\u2019s worth taking the time to appreciate life\u2019s simple pleasures.<\/h2>\n

Jason Ricci\u2019s loss of freedom gave him a newfound appreciation for things we take for granted. Once he left jail, he found joy in simple things. \u201cI’ve never taken a bath since that year without thinking about the fact that I have a bath,\u201d because in jail he had access only to showers, which often were shared.<\/p>\n

He values time alone \u201cmore than I’ve ever valued it before.\u201d And \u201cevery single time I put ice into a glass, I think this is something I was not allowed to do.\u201d More than ever, he appreciates the time he spends playing harmonica because \u201ccontrary to Hollywood, they don’t allow harmonicas in jail.\u201d<\/p>\n

What are some of the simple pleasures in life for you? How often do you appreciate having the freedom to enjoy them? <\/em><\/p>\n

4. Reflecting on where your life is going yields a high return on investment.<\/h2>\n

During his months in jail, one thing Jason had plenty of was time. Once he got past his anger and resentment for being there, he began to see the vast expanse of time before him as a benefit, not a burden. \u201cHow many people get an entire year to see how their life is gonna go?,\u201d he asked me.<\/p>\n

After he was arrested, Jason was forced to dwell in a vast expanse of time. He looked at this as a valuable opportunity to improve himself.<\/p>\n

During the pandemic, many of us had more time to reflect on where our careers were heading and what we wanted out of life. Now that we\u2019re in a post-pandemic world and our busy lives have returned, we must make the time for serious reflection.<\/p>\n

How might your physical, mental, and spiritual health benefit if you regularly reflect on your life and what you need to do to improve it? What would it take for you to do this?<\/em><\/p>\n

5. Doing more with less and being grateful for what you have are the gateways to happiness.<\/h2>\n

In jail Jason learned to do more with less. \u201cI want things, and I desire things,\u201d he told me. \u201cAnd our Western society in particular sells me on this idea daily, that having the perfect body or the bank account or the harp gear amplifier with the Lone Wolf pedals and the Jason Ricci custom microphone and Jason Ricci customized harmonica from Blue Moon harmonicas\u201d will bring happiness.<\/p>\n

When the possibility of achieving those things is taken away, it\u2019s pointless to desire them. Then the question becomes, \u201cHow many different ways can I rearrange these few things [that I do have] to do multiple things?\u201d<\/p>\n

Jason\u2019s found himself asking why he wanted the things he wanted in the first place. \u201cAnytime I reach for something external, thinking it’s going to bring me happiness,\u201d he says, he is guaranteed to wind up miserable. \u201cI realized I have no way of enjoying the happiness that it’s going to give me until I can be grateful for where I am now.\u201d<\/p>\n

The next time you find yourself pining for something you think will bring you happiness, might you find more satisfaction in simply enjoying what you already have? <\/em><\/p>\n

6. The two most important days of your life are the day you were born and the day you find out why.<\/h2>\n

Jason Ricci quotes this saying when he tells people about the transformative role that jail played in his life. Commonly attributed to Mark Twain, the quotation may have originated in a sermon that Minister Ernest T. Campbell on January 25, 1970 at New York City\u2019s Riverside Church. The great thing about what Minister Campbell said is that it applies to believers and nonbelievers alike.<\/p>\n

For Jason, who always considered himself a religious or spiritual person, it took going to jail to find out why he was born. \u201cIt was no fun to care about me and watch me go out and smoke crack and shoot heroin and be gone for days at a time, sabotage my career, sabotage your<\/em> career if you’re in the band with me\u2014 none of those things are fun,\u201d he laments.<\/p>\n

Upon his release, Jason began mentoring others in 12-step programs who had done some of the things he did and felt worthless. They felt \u201cthey are not worthy of success. What’s important to know is that success is not<\/em> what we achieve.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jason now sees that the purpose of his life is to use the mistakes he made “to reach people that have made those same mistakes or maybe won’t make them as a result of yours.\u201d<\/p>\n

Do you know your purpose in life? If so, what do you do to serve that purpose? If not, how might it be beneficial to discover what that is?<\/em><\/p>\n

7. Your most overlooked career asset is your mind.<\/h2>\n

Jason\u2019s conviction took away his ability to play music. For a professional musician, this was a severe blow. How could he maintain his skill while he was prevented from playing the harmonica?<\/p>\n

The solution was an unusual one: he practiced in his mind. He ran \u201cscales and arpeggios in my head, which is just as effective as playing them, maybe more.\u201d (Arpeggios are a musical form in which notes in a chord are played in sequence, one after the other, rather than simultaneously.) Jason\u2019s mental work was structured, focused, and rigorous.<\/p>\n

Jason says he emerged from jail a better player, even though he hadn\u2019t played for eight months. \u201cThe muscles in my cheeks were gone, so it took a few weeks to get that back,\u201d he says, but the intense mental work he had done behind bars enriched his playing.<\/p>\n

If you devoted a portion of each week to thinking intensively about what you do in your career instead of doing it, how might this enhance your work? What would it take for you to achieve such deep focus?<\/em><\/p>\n

8. You are not your career.<\/h2>\n

The most valuable takeaway from Jason\u2019s experience in jail is that what you do is not who you are. \u201cHaving my identity tied to being a musician was a potentially deadly mistake that I made for many years and fortunately lived through, through grace alone,\u201d he wrote to me in a text. \u201cIdentity and occupation need to remain separate for my health and well-being spirituality, mentally, emotionally and physically.\u201d As much as Jason values being a professional musician, he finds more profound meaning in being a good person.<\/p>\n

It might seem odd for a professional musician to value character above career, but it is because<\/em> he views his life this way that Jason Ricci is more successful and happy than ever. In the past, when he was doing well financially in his career, he sometimes \u201cfelt miserable and purposeless. Conversely, when my career was in the gutter, like [when I was] in jail, I felt centered and full of worth and purpose.\u201d<\/p>\n

If you look at Jason\u2019s social media presence, you\u2019ll see a man constantly thanking his fans and friends worldwide for their support and belief in him. In his popular YouTube videos, he frequently acknowledges the role that band members, producers, agents, and technicians play in his formidable accomplishments. He is passionately loyal to the people who have helped him succeed, and they respond with unwavering dedication.<\/p>\n

Jason Ricci demonstrates high-character leadership through accountability, gratitude, humility, and loyalty. We will be enriched professionally and personally by following his lead. His music is smoking hot, too.<\/p>\n

Do you define yourself by your career? If so, how might you be better off if you challenged this idea of who you are?<\/em><\/p>\n

Book recommendation<\/h2>\n

If you found Jason\u2019s story inspiring, you\u2019ll like a new book called When We Walk By<\/em>: Forgotten Humanity, Broken Systems, and the Role We Can Each Play in Ending Homelessness in America<\/em> by Kevin F. Adler and Donald W. Burnes, with Amanda Banh and Andrijana Bilbija, coming November 7 from North Atlantic Books.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t need to teach me about social distancing,\u201d says one of the people quoted in the book. \u201cThat\u2019s my life already.\u201d What could be an unbearably heartbreaking work becomes something much more in the final section, which is devoted to detailing solutions in which, as Adler and Burnes put it, \u201chomelessness truly becomes rare, brief, and nonrecurring, in which no one experiences homelessness alone, and in which no one feels helpless about this issue.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
