Episode notes

Today’s guest, Mo Parson, is the co-owner and operator of Fitness Sanctuary. After experiencing gang violence and surviving being shot, Mo found healing and purpose through faith, fitness, and connection.

In this episode, we talk about turning pain into purpose, the often-overlooked mental health struggles in inner-city communities, and how our hardest experiences can become the foundation for growth. Mo’s story is a powerful reminder that pain may be part of our story, but it doesn’t have to define how it ends.
