In this episode of The Iron Perspective, JD Denham sits down with someone who knows him better than anyone his firstborn daughter, Taylor Jayde. Together, they open up about addiction, divorce, broken memories, and the slow road to healing. From JD’s years lost in drugs and alcohol to Taylor’s silent battles with anxiety, control, and childhood trauma, this episode is raw, emotional, and deeply personal.
They talk openly about the impact of absent fathers, the weight of being caught in the middle of a toxic divorce, and the long-term scars that children carry into adulthood. But they also talk about redemption. Growth. Forgiveness. And the miracle of healing both as individuals and as a family.
If you grew up in dysfunction…
If you’re a parent trying to undo the damage of your past…
Or if you just need proof that broken things can still be made beautiful—this one is for you.
Your past may explain you, but it doesn’t define you.
Grace changes everything.

In this episode of The Iron Perspective, JD Denham opens up about the future of the show, the evolution of his own life, and the brutal honesty of what year-end reflection really looks like for an addict in long-term recovery. From questioning whether to continue the podcast, to asking listeners what direction they want next, JD gets candid about purpose, calling, and the weight of responsibility as a man in sobriety.
From revisiting the darkness of his last Christmas before getting sober, to the spiritual encounter that changed the trajectory of his life, JD walks through the hopelessness, heroin addiction, speed runs, sleepless weeks, and desperation that nearly killed him. But he also shares the God-shot moment on a liquor-store sidewalk that planted the spark of hope that led to January 18th, 2011 the day everything changed.
He reflects on the habits, disciplines, and non-negotiable routines that have anchored 15 years of sobriety, including waking up at 4 a.m., never hitting snooze, earning the sunrise, staying connected to God, and paying the tab every single day. He breaks down the dangers of drifting, the slow fade that pulls alcoholics back toward chaos, and why removing meetings or spiritual practices opens the door to old thinking, old temptations, and old destruction.
This episode is a raw reminder of what happens when an addict forgets how bad it was, and what’s possible when a man stays accountable, stays connected, and stays in the fight.

In this episode of The Iron Perspective, JD Denham confronts the dark side of sobriety the part most people never talk about. After nearly 15 years clean, JD has witnessed the heartbreaking truth: many get sober… but few stay sober.

From the power of early discipline to the danger of drifting away from meetings, mentors, and integrity JD lays out exactly why staying sober requires the same effort that got you sober in the first place. This episode is a wake-up call and a warning for anyone fighting addiction or supporting someone who is.

In this episode of The Iron Perspective, JD Denham returns to the mic just five days after back surgery to share the story of how a mortgage banker became the co-founder of Warrior Makers, a thriving peptide company. What began with his wife’s relapse, a Monday night AA meeting, and sponsoring men during COVID eventually sparked into a new mission combining sobriety, faith, fitness, and business. From discovering BPC-157 for tendonitis to growing a fitness channel with 300k+ followers to moving from a garage operation into a 3,000 sq ft warehouse, JD breaks down how God knows what He’s doing every step of the way.

In this episode of The Iron Perspective, JD Denham shares a raw update ahead of his fourth back surgery why the last two months have been brutal, how a younger, conservative surgeon changed the plan, and what it means to finally be two days from relief. From there, JD opens a powerful “God shot” chapter of his sobriety: the season he was on disability after a fusion, how that made space to drive his sponsor Darko to chemo, and what serving in Darko’s weakest hour taught him about integrity, character, and purpose. This is about pain, providence, and paying the gift forward.
