For Good

About For Good

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.

[…] You know, somebody on level three shouldn't be judged differently. Or somebody on level one shouldn't be judged. There are three levels. There's level one, level two, level three. And then level three is the one where you have to have a lot of support. Level two is where you have a moderate amount of support. Level one is where you might need hidden support. Like, you know, you may have to carry earphones or people. You may not look like you're on the spectrum, but you actually do. Very much so are. So there's different levels.
