This week on Define Insanity, Joe and Justin interview Louis, Joe’s older brother, in a powerful conversation about brotherhood, incarceration, and life after prison.

Growing up, Louis was the protector and Joe was the youngest. When Louis found himself in trouble and ultimately served nine years in prison, the entire family was affected—but in very different ways.

The brothers share stories from their childhood, reflect on how that challenging period shaped them individually, and explore the emotional distance created by incarceration. They discuss responsibility, regret, perspective, and the long road back.

After his release, Louis committed to turning his life around. Today, he has a beautiful family and a successful career, offering a powerful example of resilience and redemption.

This episode is about family bonds, accountability, and the possibility of rebuilding a meaningful life after loss, separation, and hard consequences.

This episode of Define Insanity features Meech, a man whose life journey took him from addiction and incarceration to sobriety and service.

As the son of a police officer, Meech grew up with structure and strong expectations, yet still found himself pulled into a destructive path—selling drugs, drinking heavily, and using substances. That path eventually led to jail and prison, forcing him to confront the reality of where his choices had taken him.

Sobriety became the turning point.

Through recovery and deep personal accountability, Meech rebuilt his life. Today, he’s sober and working as a counselor, helping others navigate addiction using the hard-earned wisdom of lived experience.

This is an honest, grounded conversation about addiction, consequences, recovery, and what real change looks like when someone commits to it.
