My favorite interview. This man is helping others who live on the street, trying to show others how to choose “better.” I hope this man gets off the street and into a house, hope he has steady work and can continue to help others. Such an inspiring store about humanity

This a true man who has found his was in life. Very humble and hardworking.

This interview really touched my soul. May god continue to bless this man. He truely is amazing!

Love this dude. He's a real one. I wish this channel provided a way to contact these people and reach out a hand. Sharing the story is great, but doesn't do any good if they can't get any help

5 minutes in and the weed taking his drive and creativity away really hit me. Probably won't mean shit to yall but I haven't smoked weed in 4 days that's a very small accomplishment for me I've smoked pretty much every day for the past 15 years or so. I kinda see myself a little bit in jj

He is a very kindred soul. I love his morals and mentality. I wish nothing but the best for him. Also FYI if u close ur eyes he sounds very young.

Brilliant interview. What an inspiring sweetheart

He seems like such a kind gentle person

What a beautiful man inside and out. He would make an amazing grandad! I hope he finds out if he's the dad to the boy and girl and if he is, I hope he gets a chance to be a parent, no matter how late it may be. Most positive interview I've seen yet!

quickly becoming my favorite channel. you need to keep this shit running!

people always speak about street smart but never mean this, it's always gutter knowledge, how to swim in the dirt and all that..and, on the other hand you have JJ street smart, man who elevated himself above that gutter and dirt aerobics into real freedom. Best of luck to you JJ, fly high brother ! Peace

Wow. This is an amazing interview! What a complete turn around, so glad he got the redemption he deserves 👏🏼👏🏼 Now nobody can ever take his peace of mind.

PPL LIKE THIS NEED A CHANCE!! I HAVE A CHANCE FOR SOMEONE LIKE YOU JJ!! if you somehow make it to central pa as clear headed as you are here then i have a guest room with its own entrance 20 mins outside pennstate so if you wanted to get a job or go to school i would be honored to help you make a new life for yourself. you have huge potential and a great grasp on the fundamentals. gotta live to learn! keep your head up!

This guy warms yr heart the way he articulates his story....emotionally charged from the life he lived ..💔

His demeanor is the truest form of a real gangster cool calm collective. Not a loud big mouth good luck to you JJ May you be blessed with the things you need and desire.

When you get to his age you want peace, not excitement. I'm the same way, I avoid troublesome people and situations

Great interview! JJ just taught me something about myself. Lord, pleaseeee Bless this man! 😭

That's a genuine , REAL man ,rt there. Went thru some real shit, learned from it, keeping his head up and being positive, damn. God bless JJ.

Seems like a good guy. He's got some strong morals & values plus he's handsome too👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💕

JJ appears to be a good man, He has wisdom for sure

Such a kind man, not a lot of people are truthful and kind and you can really tell from the way he talks...

Wow, accidentally stumbled on this. Such a kind-hearted being speaking truth, what a blessing!

This Mans HEART shows through. Best wishes!

My favorite interview so far 👍

This is a great interview. I wish him all the success in his progress.

It just goes 2 show we can be born good but led down a bad path anyone can fall victim I was 1 until I was nearly killed funny part is the gang that says they got u will never go to the hospital to see u that's when I quit and moved away love yourself first

I love how he said people always looking for attention because they have an attention deficit. That's some real shit! Kids in the street with no real direction are always looking for that love and acceptance and attention from anywhere they can get it...hence why gangs are so successful in recruiting from broken homes or living a tough line existence. A huge hug for JJ!

Its funny. Once you let go of "perception", and give someone a chance, you realise that most people are good people deep down.

This man should be presented again as a follow up to see how he's doing. He seems to have grasped the concept of "the self." Has a very positive presence.

He looks like an older Eddie Murphy. Really enjoyed this interview. Seems like a kind soul

I love your story JJ.. Amazing turn over in your life, you will go far in life with that positive attitude! ❤

his energy is priceless

He seems very down to Earth and real. Super likeable.

He's so awesome and clear headed. I wish him only the best!

Just wanna touch on the weed topic. I know the both of them mentioned that weed brings you down, and takes away your drive and motivation. But it does the exact opposite for me. I'm a recording artist and audio engineer, and though I don't need it, weed gives my inspiration. I just think it effects everyone differently, based on their personality and traits. I wouldn't cast it off as a downer.

I worked in construction for years and most of the people I worked with got stoned every single day. My take is that they can still work hard and it doesn’t affect their thinking when it comes to stuff they already know about , but when they try to figure out something new that they’ve never seen before, they get stuck. That’s why I quit and never went back. And all the guys I knew that smoked every day stayed stuck working for some guy who didn’t pay them enough. They never get motivated to move up. Get their license and work for themself. I know it helps pain and trauma and people love it, but I’m telling ya, it holds you back from bein the best you can be. JJ figured that out and look where his life went. HE NEVER WENT BACK TO A LIFE OF CRIME, INCARCERATION AND ADDICTION.

He deserves help - men don’t get a lot of help! He’s honest & humble. I want to support his new vision of 2nd chances!

such a genuine and kind soul. may god bless him

Best one so far !

JJ....Thank you for your talk.....You give in ways you may never know and at the same time you know.....:-)

Honest. Kind folk.

He's disciplined and wise I respect him

what a lovely man. sending love from ireland xx

awwwwwwwww what a truly beautiful man. he deserves a home, a job, wife, kids and dog - the whole shebang. his eyes are truly the eyes to his soul. beautiful, loving, warm eyes 😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️

Solid dude.. always aware, facts man. He good soul but don’t try him,. Family be the ones who make you seek out. All he wanted was appreciation. He’s grounded. He’s an earth sign for sure.

I applaud this guy,he is a gentleman and i cant imagine how hard it must be to keep yourself outta the gang life,god bless him,these videos are great snapshots of how hard life can be,even in the 1st world,great work

Humanity is still alive....thank you JJ for your example

What a super cool human. I wish him nothing but the best. I'd love to sit and talk with him. We're all related is right.
