Jonathan aka. Johnny Nuggets, the intro is here ! The intro lets the people know what you can expect from the podcast, about the many life lessons that will be shared, and talk about the many life mistakes he has made. A very intimate podcast, where you aren't listening to a person, but a friend, and someone that will share his deep fears, how he deals with the many relationships with people around him, and how he can help people not make the same life mistakes and failures he has made. The podcast resembles someone's own personal 1 on 1 therapy session with a friend/mentor, from Johnny who has been through life's ringer, and somehow still finds hope though all the darkness he has come through. Johnny will never proclaim he has all the answers, he just wants to find a way to find some of them with the audience through his podcast.
