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.
🎙️ New episodes every week
💥 Real people. Real stories. Real troubled pasts.
