What Can Happen When You Ask Jack: The Dr. Sage Project Incubator Story

Gary Whittaker

A Jack Righteous Project Incubator announcement

What can happen when you Ask Jack?

The new Dr. Sage Adessi book feature began with a creator story and a simple request. It grew into a complete reader journey for Christian women—and a real example of what the Jack Righteous Project Incubator can become when the project is close to my heart.

From feature to reader pathway

This became more than a book promotion.

Dr. Sage Adessi’s work now has a focused destination that helps women recognize their need, understand the difference between her two books, choose the right starting point and continue into related Christian reflections, prayer-centered support and creative emotional-expression tools.

The project connects the author, the books, the audience, the supporting content and the next action. That is the difference between posting about a project and building around it.

Why I went this far

This project is personal to me.

My connection to strong Christian women began long before JackRighteous.com.

The women who raised me

Both of my grandmothers helped found programs within their churches. They did more than attend. They organized, served, built and created places where other people could belong.

My mother carried that commitment into the second half of her career, working for the church and investing her time in service to others.

The women these books serve

Because of them, I understand something about women whose faith is real, whose strength supports families and communities, and who may still need permission to admit when life feels heavy.

This was not just a promotional assignment. I wanted to help meaningful books find the women most likely to need them.

What project incubation means

You do not need to arrive with everything figured out.

My goal is to help people begin wherever they are—even when the first need is finding the idea inside their experience—and then carry the right project as far as its potential, timing and available resources allow.

01 · DiscoverFind the idea

Identify the experience, conviction, skill or story that could become meaningful work.

02 · ClarifyFind the audience

Define who the work serves, what they need and why the project matters to them.

03 · BuildShape the project

Develop the book, music, message, content, offer or supporting resources.

04 · ExpandTake it further

Create the audience path, platform and opportunities that help the work reach people.

I have several self-publishing projects still incubating now. They are at different stages because incubation is not about pretending every idea is ready to launch. It is about giving the right ideas enough care, structure and honest evaluation to discover what they can become.

An honest boundary

I will not work at this depth on every project.

I want to be direct about that. Work this extensive requires a real investment of time, attention and personal judgment. I reserve that depth for projects that are near and dear to my heart—projects where I recognize a meaningful connection, a real audience and the possibility of helping something valuable reach further.

Asking does not guarantee a public feature or this exact level of incubation. It begins a conversation. The right next step may be a free resource, structured AI training, focused VIP Plus support, broader Complete Access guidance—or, in select cases, a much deeper project relationship.

The goal is not to force every idea into the same system. It is to identify the most useful honest next step.

The first step is simply to ask

What are you carrying that deserves a real beginning?

You may have a finished project, an unfinished manuscript, a song, a ministry resource, a business problem—or only the beginning of an idea. Tell me what matters, who you hope it will serve and what is keeping it from moving forward.

Ask Jack and Choose Your Starting Route

Ask Jack explains the free, AI Training Access, VIP Plus and Complete Access routes. No submission guarantees a public feature or a specific project outcome.
