Recently people have attempted to pull me back into past mistakes from years ago. I am not talking last year I am talking 7,8-12 years ago. Yes, I made a lot of mistakes but at some point after apologizing multiple time you have to let it go in your mind and you may have to let the person go as well. Take a listen to my stories on letting go and see if they resonate with you and as always thank you for listening.   "At the end of the day, sometimes you have to be an asshole. You can't do anything about it. You've reached the point where like, 'Okay, what am I going to do? Do you think I'm a jerk? Do you think I'm this? Do you think I'm that? So fine I am. I am." – Greg Kotsaftis   What do you want to hear from the Pitching the Truth podcast? Tell us here! Love the Podcast?

Jeff Johnson used to be a juvenile delinquent. At the age of 17, he got associated with a kid just like him, and one thing led to another which brought him to prison. He was incarcerated for 24 years for a crime he did not commit. Listen up to this episode as Jeff relates his story from the time he first serves prison up to the time he turned his life around. He was a victim of injustice, as he would relate later, but no amount of that can compare to what he’s done to help the community inside prison and outside after he was released. The amount of positive impact he’s done to society is impressive.   “My Grandma told me, ‘Everybody got a life sentence. We're just going to do it in different places.’ That statement of her made me have that paradigm shift where I realized like even though I'm going to die in prison, it doesn't necessarily mean I'm going to have a bad life. Like I can create a good life out of this.”  -Jeff Johnson     What do you want to hear from the Pitching the Truth podcast? Tell us here!
