In this episode of the Raw Success Podcast, I sit down with Pastor Jason Jennings, better known as Pastor J — an entrepreneur, real estate investor, and pastor who turned his life around after walking away from the streets.
Though raised in a good home with a religious father, Pastor J became a drug dealer in his early 20s. But after hitting rock bottom, he chose to rewrite his story. Over the past 20+ years, he’s built multiple six-figure businesses — including real estate, tax preparation, insurance sales, and a PreK program inside his church — all while leading others through faith and mentorship.
In this powerful conversation, Pastor J shares how failure became the key to his success, how mentors helped him create systems instead of hustles, and how vision and discipline transformed his life from the streets to entrepreneurship and ministry.
This episode is for anyone looking to rebuild, refocus, and find purpose in their pain.
