Author: Tim Storey, Life Strategist & Original Comeback Coach July 13, 2026 Duration: 44:40
We all experience pressure to abandon our purpose and pursue success in other areas, whether that pressure comes from family, society, or our inner critic. But it's never too late to pivot and transform into the person we want to be, even if it defies the image and brand you've built for yourself. JoJo Simmons was born into a legacy most people only dream about. As the son of Run-DMC’s Rev Run and a member of one of hip hop’s most influential families, success seemed written into his story. But behind the fame, reality television, and industry connections was a young man trying to answer a difficult question: who are you when everyone already thinks they know you? After years of navigating expectations and chasing his own ambitions, fatherhood became a turning point. Today, through entrepreneurship, podcasting, and media production, JoJo is building platforms that empower others while continuing to define success on his own terms. In this episode, he joins Tim to share how faith, mentorship, and personal growth helped him create a legacy that extends far beyond the Simmons name.
