Viewer discretion advised. Today’s episode is a unique one. I sit down with someone from the adult film industry and we have a real, honest conversation about life, faith, and where he’s at in his journey. I also get the chance to share the gospel and simply spend time getting to know him. We understand this topic may feel sensitive for some, and we respect wherever you’re at. But if you’re open to a meaningful conversation, sit back, relax, and enjoy.Follow George! Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/georgejanko⁠⁠⁠ TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@georgejanko⁠⁠⁠Follow Shawna! Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/shawnadellaricca/⁠⁠⁠ Youtube: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@ShawnaDellaRiccaOfficial⁠⁠Business Inquiries Email: ⁠⁠⁠[email protected]⁠Chapters: 00:00 Intro05:02 Growing Up in Boston07:11 Building No Jumper From Nothing10:44 The Early SoundCloud Rap Era14:58 When Podcasting Took Over Internet Culture20:01 Adam22 Explains the Reality of the Porn Industry27:03 George Challenges Adam22 on Morality34:18 Fame, Controversy, and Living Online42:36 Adam22’s Craziest Podcast Guests50:12 Marriage, Boundaries, and Public Relationships58:03 Adam22 Opens Up About God1:07:40 Can Someone in Porn Find God?1:17:18 Adam22’s Honest Thoughts on Religion1:27:06 Internet Fame vs Real Life Meaning1:36:44 The Hardest Moments of Adam22’s Career1:47:22 Logan Paul Controversy and Internet Backlash1:51:24 Jake Paul Before the Boxing Era1:54:24 Adam22’s Story From KSI vs Logan Paul2:00:31 Final Thoughts on Faith, Culture, and Judgment
