What if healing yourself was the first step to changing the world? This is a space for grounded, soul-level conversations about mental health, emotional intelligence, personal growth, and what it means to live with intention. Here, healing isn't a trend, it's a lifelong commitment. Through vulnerable storytelling and honest reflection, For Good helps us reconnect with purpose, reimagine legacy, and choose growth — for ourselves, our families, and our communities. At the heart of it all is Joseph "JoJo" Simmons, the son of hip hop royalty, Rev Run of Run DMC, and a multi-faceted entertainer, entrepreneur, husband, father, and mental health advocate. From MTV's Run's House to Growing Up Hip Hop, JoJo's journey has been public but his evolution has been deeply personal. After facing public scrutiny in his teens, JoJo took a step back from the spotlight to prioritize his mental health. He reemerged as an advocate, determined to use his platform for good. In 2023, he received the Phoenix Arising Award from the Black Mental Health Alliance, honoring his commitment to wellness and emotional literacy in the Black community. JoJo brings a rare mix of humility, humor, and heart to every episode. Whether he's speaking solo or sitting with a guest, he creates space for listeners to reflect, reset, and rise together. Expect episodes that explore the power of emotional intelligence in real life, mental health beyond buzzwords — especially for Black men and fathers, breaking generational cycles through inner work and intention, and what legacy looks like when it's built on love, not ego. You'll also hear honest, unfiltered stories that inspire growth, healing, and a deeper connection to purpose. Notable guests include: Dr. Cheyenne Bryant: Life coach and psychology expert dropping truth bombs on relationships and accountability Lil Eazy-E: Reflecting on his father's legacy and the controversy surrounding his death Trell the Trainer: From prison to purpose: using fitness and emotional vulnerability to help Black men heal Vanessa Simmons: On protecting her personal life while growing up in a public family Steve Lobel: Behind the music industry grind: on hip-hop success, grief, and staying grounded Corvain Cooper: From life in prison to presidential pardon: a story of transformation, justice, and second chances Jesce Horton: Building one of the most respected Black-owned cannabis brands with Carmelo Anthony For Good is a production of 3isFor, a values-driven creative studio founded by childhood friends JoJo Simmons, Kris Karl, and David Dow. The three co-founders come from vastly different backgrounds — hip hop royalty, regenerative farming, and media production — but their values are the same. Together, they build with purpose, tell stories that matter, and champion regenerative business as a model for healing industries, communities, and the planet.

    Kier Gaines: How to Get Out of the Waiting Room of Your Life | E63

    Most people don’t wait because they’re lazy. They wait until they feel ready, confident, healed, or certain enough to change finally. But therapist Kier Gaines believes the longer you practice waiting, the better you become at staying exactly where you are. In this episode, Kier joins JoJo and Vanessa to unpack the uncomfortable reality of healing, from protecting your peace without avoiding hard conversations to taking accountability without tearing yourself down. He also opens up about forgiveness, comparison, relationships, and his own experience with depression, revealing why real growth rarely begins when you feel ready. It begins when you decide to show up anyway.

    For generations, "be strong" meant staying silent. If you were struggling, you pushed through. If you were overwhelmed, you kept it to yourself. But what if some of the habits we call resilience are actually keeping us from healing? In this episode, Dr. Alfiee Breland-Noble joins JoJo and Vanessa to unpack the generational beliefs that shaped how we think about mental health, why so many people don't recognize when they need help, and the practical tools that make healing feel possible. From therapy and self-awareness to community, social media, and everyday habits, this conversation is a reminder that taking care of your mind isn't a weakness. It's one of the most important investments you can make in yourself. In This Episode, JoJo, Vanessa, and Dr. Alfiee: (00:00) Introduction (05:04) Why "Be Strong" Kept Generations Silent (18:14) Making Mental Health Feel More Accessible (25:02) Why Gen Z Feels More Overwhelmed Than Ever (33:17) The Everyday Habits That Support Healing (48:11) Healing Through Community and Purpose Dr. Alfiee Breland-Noble is a psychologist, scientist, author, and founder of the AAKOMA Project, a nonprofit dedicated to improving mental health care for young people and communities of color.
