Criminal Justice Evolution Podcast: Ricky Johnson - Former Marine & Ex-Convict Who Turned his Life Around

Hello everyone and welcome back to The CJEvolution Podcast. Thank you for listening and sharing with family and friends.  A special thanks to all the first responders and other criminal justice professionals. Remember you are honored, cherished and loved. Keep up the great work and please be safe. I struggled. I was in a dark place for a long time. I was in pain, and I masked it with alcohol.  I was contemplating hurting myself.  I finally decided to reach out and ask for help, and I am grateful I did. FHE Health and The Shatterproof Program saved my life. If you are struggling, you don’t have to stay there. We can and will help you. Reach out today at 303.960.9819. https://fherehab.com/ https://www.cjevolution.com/shatterproof/ My next guest had me almost in tears with his story. Ricky Johnson is a former US Marine who ended up in prison due to his drug use and other criminal activity. Ricky lost everything in his life, including his son.  Ricky never blames anyone but himself for his life, which is a true testament of personal accountability.  But Ricky had a special someone enter his life that helped him turn his life completely around for the better. Ricky is now a sought after speaker, peer support specialist, motivator and influencer. This is probably one of the best shows I have had in a long time, and I hope you enjoy it.  You can find Ricky here: https://www.rickyjohnsonjr.com/ Stay tuned for more great episodes on The CJEvolution Podcast. www.cjevolution.com Patrick
