Damon sits down with JOMO—an inspiring voice in the recovery community whose journey is marked by deep empathy, authenticity, and a powerful example of how to live a recovered life. From his compassionate outlook to his unwavering respect for others’ paths, JOMO shares what it means to give people the grace to grow.

🎯Episode Highlights

Here’s what stood out in our conversation with JOMO:

  • Empathy is everything in recovery.
    JOMO reminds us how powerful it is to just meet people where they’re at—without judgment. A little compassion goes a long way.

  • It’s not just what you say—it’s how you live.
    JOMO lives his recovery out loud. The way he shows up—with grace, honesty, and humility—is a blueprint for what real recovery can look like.

  • Let people be who they are.
    One of the biggest gifts you can give someone in recovery is space—to grow, to stumble, and to figure it out without trying to control their process.

  • Real connection heals.
    This episode is proof that deep, honest conversations can light the way forward—not just for us, but for everyone listening.

  • Recovery doesn’t have an endpoint.
    Damon and JOMO both talk about how recovery keeps evolving. It’s about staying open, learning, and showing up again and again.
