Dark Days

In a world where success is celebrated but struggle is silenced, United States Army Combat Veteran and motivational speaker Mr. JayR McIntyre pulls back the curtain on the raw truth of entrepreneurship after war in his highly anticipated book, Dark Days: The Silent Battles of a Combat Veteran in Business.


This gripping memoir-meets-blueprint is more than just another story of entrepreneurship—it's a war journal from the frontlines of trauma, trust, betrayal, and business breakdowns. From serving three combat tours in Iraq (2002–2010) to building Florida’s #1 veteran-led security company, Rat Pack Security, and then losing it all, McIntyre takes readers on a rollercoaster of redemption.


“This isn’t just my story—it’s the story of every veteran who came home, put on a suit, and found themselves in a different kind of war,” says McIntyre.


"A Good Heart Don't Pay Bills" - Combat Veteran & Life Coach Exposes the High Cost of Loyalty in Business

Tampa, FL - In a bold and unfiltered new release, A Good Heart Don't Pay Bills: The Toxicity of Generosity, combat veteran, entrepreneur, and motivational speaker Dr. JayR McIntyre-also known as Tha Hood Motiv8tor-shares his gripping story of business betrayal, downfall, and ultimate transformation.


Built on loyalty and second chances, Rat Pack Worldwide Security rose to become a leading force in Florida's private security industry. But between 2018 and 2022, McIntyre watched his dream unravel-contracts stolen, trust broken, and generosity taken for weakness. As a disabled veteran living with PTSD and TBI, the emotional and financial collapse nearly destroyed him.

Yet from the ashes of bankruptcy, eviction, and legal scrutiny, Dr. McIntyre rose again. Now armed with an MBA and pursuing his Doctorate in Business, he has reemerged as one of the most authentic and relatable voices in motivational speaking. His brand, Tha Hood Motiv8tor, has inspired thousands across the country-bridging boardrooms and street corners with his raw message of resilience and purpose.


"This isn't just a business book-it's a blueprint for every person who's been burned doing the right thing," McIntyre says. "I lost it all, but I found my voice. Now, I'm on a mission to help others turn their darkest days into defining moments."

A Good Heart Don't Pay Bills delivers real stories, hard truths, and a transformational message for entrepreneurs, veterans, leaders, and anyone who's ever questioned if their kindness was a liability.
