🎙️ Where to Start...For one, John and I go way back — like, elementary school back. We were inseparable as kids, practically living at each other’s houses every weekend. You could even call him my “first boyfriend” (though our 10-year-old selves wouldn’t have admitted it).As life does, it pulled us in different directions. Through our teen years and beyond, we drifted — different crowds, different lives — but always checked in here and there.John’s path led him through years of substance abuse, rehab programs, and personal battles — especially during his time in Florida. But today? He’s sober, focused, and building something beautiful from the ground up.He’s found community, accountability, and a passion that’s lighting the way forward. And for the first time, John is sitting down to publicly share his story — raw, honest, and real.This episode is about resilience, redemption, and the power of being vulnerable. If you're struggling, or know someone who is, John hopes his journey can be the spark that helps change the course.Thanks for being here — and for holding space for stories that matter.
