Troubled Past Podcast
Welcome to The Troubled Past Podcast
Hosted by Jarod "The Rock" Johnson, this is where the skeletons come out of the closet — hard and unapologetic.
Each week, Jarod dives deep into his own wild past, sharing raw, unfiltered stories from the streets, the hustle, and everything in between. But it doesn’t stop there — he brings on guests with equally insane backgrounds to tell the tales most people are too scared to say out loud.
From brushes with the law, cartel connections, underground deals, and close calls — The Troubled Past is your front-row seat to the lives people don’t talk about… but should.
No sugarcoating. No filters. Just truth, grit, and redemption.

Episode 7: “Not a Bad Kid – Skyler’s Story”
In a powerful father-son conversation, Jarod sits down with his son Skyler to share a kid’s perspective on what it’s really like growing up in today’s school system — especially when the adults around you get it wrong. From dealing with unfair teachers to feeling misunderstood, Skyler opens up about how he started getting labeled as a “bad kid”… until one vice principal stepped in and changed the game.
This episode is raw, emotional, and real — showing that sometimes all it takes is one person to believe in a child to pull them off a path they never chose to begin with. It’s a must-listen for parents, teachers, and anyone who wants to understand the kids who often go unheard.
