We had the good fortune of connecting with Jarratt Damn and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Jarratt, how has your background shaped the person you are today?
I was born and raised in Shreveport, LA (Shout Out to Shreveport)
For me, Shreveport was always this blend of the amenities of things you would find in a bigger city but small town values. Growing up there made me appreciate what I had but created this hunger to want more and see the world from a broader perspective.
Without growing up in Shreveport, there’s no way I would be the Jarratt I am today.
Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
It’s About DAMN Time is a self-improvement, personal development podcast. I think what separates my podcast from others is my approach. Most of these category of podcast are hosted by an expert in that realm. These individuals have credentials and loads of experience in helping people. They are like the Thors and Supermen of their worlds.
I’m more like your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man! Lol
I’m not an expert. I am your peer. I am going through the same stress, trauma, and healing journey we all are. Fighting the same demons, running from the same generational curses, and trying to lose the same damn 20 pounds. Lol
I feel like sometimes listening to some who’s in the trenches with you, it’s easy to get started on your growth journey because you have someone right by your side doing it with you.
Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
UGH! Why is this question so HARD???!!!
Okay, I have a week. So it’s definitely mostly a food tour because…hey, I’m a foodie! So we are going to Ponce City Market for H&F burgers and Honeysuckle Gelato. We are also going to the Marietta Square Market at some point so they can try B.A.D Gyal Vegan! Oh it’s so good!!!
Now for the non food options…since I am more of an adventurer than a “going outter”, I’m gonna take them to Stone Mountain, go to the Chick-fil-a backstage tour, and finally head to Red Hare brewery for good beer and the best root bear I’ve ever tasted in life.
Okay…I think that’s my answer. Ask me in a week and it will be a completely different agenda.
Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
It’s so many people I want to thank.
I mean it really takes a village. So many people have picked me up (and continue to pick me up) when I am so overly critical of myself, when I need to relax and get out of my own way, or when I need to cry and be held.
For everyone in the last 10 years that has loved, supported, shared, encouraged, and just gave me hugs. THANK YOU!!!
I could not do this without you and I love each and every one of you!!!
