    Eric Robinson spent a quarter century in the FBI after beginning his adult life in Christian ministry.

  • Home in the Heart of the Tenderloin — JJ Smith | Episode #265
    Sep 14 2026

    JJ Smith has spent much of his life in San Francisco’s Tenderloin, a neighborhood he calls home. In this conversation, he talks with Greg and Marc about his own history, his family’s struggles with addiction, and the path that led him from surviving on the streets to helping people around him find treatment, work, food, shelter, and a way forward.

    JJ’s approach is simple but demanding: show up, tell the truth, build trust, and don’t give up on someone just because they aren’t ready today. The conversation moves through addiction, recovery, homelessness, incarceration, economic opportunity, race, community, and the complicated question of what it means to help another person without judging them.
