If They Can Do It: Recent Episodes
Isaac Camargo
Host Isaac Camargo shares his life, and interviews people with amazing stories that will inspire you. After listening to this podcast, his hope is that you will begin to believe "If they can do it" SO CAN I!
What happens when your calling, your trauma, your faith, and your identity all collide?
In this episode of If They Can Do It, Isaac sits down with singer, songwriter, storyteller, and soon-to-be author Jo James for a deeply honest conversation about purpose, pain, and becoming who God created you to be.
Jo opens up about growing up in church, walking away from faith, finding his way back to God, and learning that his identity could not be built on music, talent, success, or applause. He shares the long road of pursuing music, the valleys that shaped his songs, the trauma he had to face, and the powerful adoption story that changed the way he sees fatherhood, faith, and God’s timing.
This conversation is for anyone who has ever felt stuck in the valley, questioned their purpose, or wondered who they are beyond what they do.
Jo’s story is a reminder that your gift may be part of your calling, but it is not the whole of your identity. And even when the road looks nothing like you expected, there can still be purpose, redemption, and beauty on the other side.
If he can do it, so can you.
Most of us assume life will unfold a certain way — then, it throws curveballs that force us to reimagine who we are. In this raw, heartfelt conversation, three friends reflect on life's unpredictable turns, from unexpected moves and career shifts to navigating heartbreak and self-identity. They reveal how embracing vulnerability, setting boundaries, and trusting your own values can spark profound growth, even when it feels like the world is falling apart.
You'll discover: the pivotal moments that challenge your resilience and how to differentiate between perseverance and walking away. Stephanie shares her journey of making tough decisions in her personal life, while Amanda discusses how trusting herself helped her rewrite her story. Amanda and the others break down the importance of emotional safety, reducing ego-driven pride, and cultivating self-awareness — lessons that can transform your approach to relationships, setbacks, and success.
This episode explores why it's okay — essential, even — to be imperfect, to ask for help, and to accept that sometimes the bravest move is walking away. If you've ever felt stuck, insecure, or unsure about your next step, you'll hear how leaning into vulnerability and trusting your core values opens the door to authentic happiness and growth.
Perfect for anyone feeling overwhelmed by life's chaos, contemplating a major change, or longing to reconnect with their true self — this conversation reminds you that, just like these ordinary people, you have the power to do extraordinary things. Your greatest progress begins when you embrace your true self and choose to walk the path that aligns with your values, even when it's hard.
Whether you're at a crossroads or simply seeking reassurance that you're not alone in the struggle — this episode is a must-listen. Tune in, get inspired, and walk with the confidence that if they can do it, so can you.

In a special Loving Day episode, Aleah Norwood recalls growing up in a community with very little diversity and how shocked she was when she moved to Denver to become a music teacher in the inner city. She talks to us about meeting her husband, Jordan, and how it wasn't too long ago that their marriage was considered a crime. She talks about raising their children in these crazy times and reminds us of the hope that the future holds. THANK YOU ALEAH FOR THIS POWERFUL EPISODE!

When I started this podcast, I thought it would be great to talk to inspirational people and learn from their stories. The events of the past week have forced all of us to look inward, and examine thought-patterns and fears that we have as individuals. We have been shown the need to change, and now are given the opportunity to be a source of change in this country. This week has also forced us to use empathy more than we ever have. This episode contains my thoughts on the subject.
PLEASE SUBSCRIBE AND REVIEW THE PODCAST. The individuals that I interview deserve to have their story heard by as many people as possible and your support ensures that. Thank you.
