The man you were isn’t the man you have to be.

You’re not too far gone. This is the story of a man who owned his truth, stopped running, and changed everything. Let it remind you what’s still possible.

Some men think it’s too late for them.
Too much damage. Too many mistakes. Too far gone.

I hear it all the time:

“Jimmy, you don’t understand what I’ve done.”
“Guys like me don’t get second chances.”
“I’ve tried to change, and I just end up back in the same place.”

But here’s what I want you to know:

You’re not too broken to change.
That’s not just some motivational slogan.
It’s the truth.

Proof that it’s possible

When I sat down with James Dixon on the podcast, I wasn’t prepared for what I heard.

This is a man who’s lived through hell, drug addiction, violence, self-hatred, spiritual numbness.

He was the guy people gave up on. The guy most would’ve written off.

But then he changed his story.


He got tired of his own lies.
Tired of running.
Tired of waking up every day wondering why he was even still here.

So he made a decision.
To stop letting his past define him.
To stop playing the victim in his own life.

You Can’t Heal What You Hide

One of the biggest things James said was this:

“God told me, ‘Tell the truth.’ And that was the beginning of my healing.”

Let that sink in.

Not “hustle harder.”
Not “fake it ‘til you make it.”
Tell the truth.

Because that’s where transformation happens.
When you drop the mask and get honest about where you actually are.

You can’t heal what you hide.
And we hide things from ourselves on purpose.
Because healing has a cost.

It costs your comfort.
Your excuses.
Your pride.

But it’s worth it.

Your Past Isn’t a Death Sentence

You are not your worst moment.
You are not the sum of your screw-ups.
You are who you choose to become, starting today.

James made that choice.
So have hundreds of men inside We Are The They.

So if you’re sitting in the dark today wondering if there’s any way back, there is.

But only if you stop waiting for someone to save you and start saving yourself.

Own your story.
Change your life.
