John discusses his rough upbringing in Wichita, Kansas as well as his time spent in a group home for troubled boys on a ranch in Texas and several years at a state mental hospital in Kansas. He also talks about his struggles with drug addiction which had him in and out of prison in Florida and how he survived living on the streets of Miami.

Episode 1: Clean John

I know a lot of interesting people. My podcast allows me to go in depth with some of my friends, and others I've met along the way. It also gives me the opportunity, or an excuse to have conversations with people I never would have had the chance to meet. Most of my guests are very successful people, but I'm not as concerned with the success as I am with the adversity they overcame to get where they're at.  The topics discussed on my podcast include sports, culture, music, travel, food, health, wellness, steel cage matches and death row meals. And I always keep it a Hundo!
