EPISODE SUMMARY 

People don’t check out of life because they hate life — they hate the life they’re living. In this episode of Comeback Kings, Aaron James sits down with Jermaine T. Johnson for a raw conversation about pain, power, setbacks, and why healing work matters for men who carry a lot… and talk about none of it.

Jermaine breaks down what real growth actually takes: confronting trauma, doing the work, filtering the voices in your head, and building a life that isn’t run by fear, cynicism, or old stories you inherited.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, heavy, or like you’re fighting battles in silence — this one will meet you where you are.

In this episode, you’ll learn

• Why real strength starts with facing real pain
• How therapy and “process work” can expose triggers you didn’t know you carried
• The difference between being cheered for and being cared for — and why men need correction and protection
• Why many athletes (and high performers) aren’t prepared for money, pressure, and “no”
• How to rebuild after legal, financial, and personal attacks
• How to quiet the loudest voices in your mind and reconnect to purpose
