Give me the opportunity to prove myself. with Jim “Jimbo” Bottomley.

Give me the opportunity to prove myself.  with Jim “Jimbo” Bottomley.

Jim Bottomley, affectionately known as Jimbo, a Production Superintendent from Langston, Alabama with a life story that's nothing short of inspiring. From growing up in an abusive home to overcoming a life-threatening stroke at 21, Jimbo embodies resilience. He's navigated through a diverse range of jobs—from working death row in a maximum-security penitentiary to managing restaurants and now overseeing production at Jet Polymer. But what sets Jimbo apart is his unwavering commitment to helping others. Whether it's volunteering at his local campground or being a single parent to his daughters, Jimbo's “Price of Admission" is summed up in blood, sweat, and a whole lot of tears. This is an episode about never giving up, about making those who say you can’t, understand why you can… with a little bit of “respect that you’ve earned” and “sometimes you can be too dern nice.”
