This week, Mason and Francis sit down with Tami, the granddaughter of Jimmy Kinnon, one of the founders of The Fellowship, alongside long-time member Indiana Joe, for a powerful and heartfelt conversation.Together, they explore the life and legacy of Jimmy Kinnon — his vision, his humanity, and the lasting influence he had on what would become a worldwide movement of recovery. Tami shares her personal journey of discovering Narcotics Anonymous and learning about her grandfather’s impact, along with tender reflections on her mother, Cathie Kinnon, Jimmy’s daughter, who recently passed away.The discussion also dives into the story of the History Gypsies, the passionate travelers dedicated to preserving the fellowship’s roots, and other stories that remind us of where we came from — and why it still matters today.This is an episode about love, legacy, and the spiritual foundation that continues to guide our fellowship forward.
