2 hr 38 min - Paul Jones | Getting real with My Best Friend of 30+ Years
In this deeply personal episode, JD Witherspoon sits down with his best friend of over 30 years, Paul Jones, for their most honest conversation yet. Paul is a filmmaker who has worked with Disney, Lucasfilm, and on various reality TV shows, but this conversation goes far beyond career accomplishments.The two friends journey through their shared childhood memories—from attending Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch to navigating their parents' divorces, from hilarious moments like the "pizza hoarding incident" to the darker realities of growing up. Paul opens up about being an only child, struggling in school, his experiences in the LA crump dance scene (including some disturbing revelations), and how childhood trauma shaped who he is today.They discuss generational trauma, the lack of emotional tools their parents had, feelings of being "broken" as kids, and the journey toward self-awareness as adults. Paul shares stories about family therapy at age nine, his complicated relationship with education, meeting Corbin Bleu at auditions, and why he eventually stepped back from the dance world.This conversation is raw, vulnerable, and filled with the kind of honesty that only comes from three decades of friendship. It's a testament to how childhood friends can become chosen family, and how looking back at where we came from helps us understand who we've become.
