For decades Jason Wilson was losing the war within - the internal battle that many men wage daily but were never taught how to win. As a result, he could not combat his toxic thoughts and emotions. Instead, he was conquered by them and communicated without composure - hurting those he loved and himself. This went on until he renewed his mind by releasing years of past trauma. His life and relationships were transformed when he learned how to master his emotions and express them with self-control. In the process, Jason became a better husband, father, and leader.

For many years Jason Wilson struggled with trying to conform to the world's mandate for men, only displaying stereotypical masculine attributes such as brute strength, unchecked boldness, and aggression. But it wasn't until he discovered a pivotal truth—the moment you allow others to define you is the moment you lose your identity and power—that he was able to escape emotional incarceration and become a comprehensive man: a man not defined by others, a man who can become whatever the moment demands.

Lucky soldiers who could sing a song, perform a skit or pass as a “lady” were taken from the line and put onstage for the benefit of their soldier-audiences. The intent was to bolster morale and thereby help soldiers survive the war. The Dumbells’ popularity was not limited to troop shows along the trenches. The group also managed a run in London’s West End and became the first ever Canadian production to score a hit on Broadway. Touring Canada for some 12 years after the war, the Dumbells became a household name and made more than 25 audio recordings.
