Pej is one of the top addiction professionals in the nation. His compassion and deep understanding of addiction-related topics are obvious in his podcasts. Anyone struggling with substance abuse - or has overcome substance abuse - would greatly benefit from listening to Pej regularly. We are losing our nation because of addiction, and it’s comforting to know that folks like Pej are on the front lines, putting it all out there, to fight this evil enemy. God bless you, Pej!!!!!

It’s always so inspiring to hear all of these stories and experiences shared in each episode. I learn so much each time I listen. I love how raw and real Pej is.

Pej is someone I met back when I was figuring out recovery. He’s the real deal—a guy who truly lives what he talks about. His podcast, Primary Purpose, hits home because it’s raw, honest, and always from the heart. Proud of you, Pej. Keep inspiring!

Pej is an expert in the field of recovery, and a pillar in the Recovery community

Pej is the light in so many lives! He has helped so many people and continues to do so with a pure heart. His podcasts are so well put together with a great purpose! Thank you Pej for being an amazing human on this earth! You have a heart of gold!

Listening to Pej has inspired me on my own journey in recovery. His own life transformation not only ignites the mind but it touches your soul. Spirituality and sensibility bleeds through his podcast. Pej’s hard hitting honesty combined with his compassion for humanity resonates through his unique voice and his catchphrases sprinkled in his podcasts. If you are in recovery or if you have a friend in need this is a must listen. My only complaint is that I can’t give him six stars!

Pej is a shining example of strength, resilience, and compassion. Through his own recovery, pej not only rebuilt his life but had become a guiding light for others. Whether offering support, sharing his story, or simply being present, Pej brings hope to everyone he meet. His journey is a powerful reminder that healing is possible—and worth it.

I recently had the privilege of listening to the latest episode of Primary Purpose with Pej, featuring the extraordinary Lauri Burns, and I can confidently say it’s one of the most powerful podcast episodes I’ve encountered. Pejman Alaghamandan masterfully guides the conversation, allowing Lauri’s harrowing yet inspiring journey to unfold with raw honesty and profound insight.  Lauri’s transformation—from surviving unimaginable trauma, including childhood abuse, addiction, trafficking, and homelessness, to becoming a Fortune 100 executive and founding The Teen Project, a nonprofit that has rescued thousands of exploited youth—is nothing short of miraculous. Her story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the capacity for change. What sets this episode apart is not just the compelling narrative but also the depth of the conversation. Pej’s empathetic interviewing style creates a safe space for Lauri to share her experiences, making listeners feel as though they’re part of an intimate and transformative dialogue.  For anyone seeking inspiration, understanding, or a reminder of the strength inherent in all of us, this episode is a must-listen. It doesn’t just tell a story; it ignites a call to action—to find purpose, to help others, and to believe in the possibility of redemption and change.  Tune in to Primary Purpose with Pej and let Lauri Burns’ story inspire you to see the potential for transformation in every challenge.

Pej provides the best service to families and residents in his centers. He genuinely has dedicated his heart to save lives

This is where I go when I want to hear thought provoking conversations and some thoughts to ponder. There are so many podcasts that are just something to listen to to pass the time but this podcast is what I listen to when I know I need to hear a certain message. Pej is a great host and his guests always just have something of value to share.

Thank you pej for this podcast. I really enjoy it. You are truly a bright light in the rooms of AA. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

As a mother of children with substance abuse problems, I only wish that someone like Pej would have been around when my family was going through our struggles. I love that he takes the time to introduce us all to the effects of different substances, and the nature of the disease of addiction. After watching his podcasts, I always walk away feeling enlightened in a new way. Although it’s probably true that most of us have someone we love or know someone who deals with the disease of addiction on a personal level, these podcasts are informative for everyone. My endless support and prayers are with you always! Keep up the good work!!

I have loved and looked up to Pej for a very long time now. His podcast and way of communicating with people in recovery is unmatched. Very interesting and entertaining content here, 10/10 recommend.

Incredible I look forward to the next episodes coming out!

Pej is generally an amazing person. His podcast is informative and Pej really delves into the nitty gritty of addiction. I love Pej’s genuineness. This podcast and Pej are the real deal!

Simply put it’s a battlefield out there in this world of addiction a top killer of our use ripping families apart. Having these conversations so vital to creating space and sharing knowledge and hope that there is a way out and it’s a beautiful one.

Pej brings it every time. This is real ish for real people in a real world, sharing the journey and proving there is a way out….No Matter what!

Pej allows his guest the freedom to tell their story so as a person who wants more awareness of recovery can hear the message. The message is always “we are enough “. Pej thank you for your service to our community.

This is incredible. The hope that is available at our fingertips amazes me. Thank you Pej for all that you do and the way you bring communities together is outstanding. I listen to this when I need I need some inspiration and it makes me feel like I’m no longer alone!

Learning from others is essential to understanding yourself. My life journey as a mother of a recovering addict was like learning a new language. Navigating this world wasn’t a choice, but essential if I was going to survive and then thrive. Pej’s podcast Primary With A Purpose will offer you insight into others journey to help you navigate yours. To know Pej is to love him.

Pej has always been an inspirational guy for many reasons. First, he doesn’t pretend to be perfect. He’s very clear about his past, the trials and tribulations he endured and went through. He’s very descriptive about the process, emotions, and various alluring aspects of drug use, but equally emphatic about the dark rabbit hole you crawl into in doing so. He’s also very enthusiastic—this is a guy on a mission. He’s not phoning in his videos and messages. He really means what he’s saying, and really wants to inspire and deliver as many people as he can towards ultimate freedom through recovery. Lastly, he’s doing all of it in a non-judgmental way, seeking to uplift than to berate. I have seldom known anyone who has done this with such fervor and sincerity at the same time. May this podcast find him succeeding in everything he is trying to accomplish, and may those who tune in be inspired on their journey to recovery.

Pej is a beautiful beautiful human. With a beautiful heart. He has been called to help people with his time here on earth and he does that so beautifully and elegantly with this podcast. He’s handsome, charming and charismatic. Truly entertaining and an absolute pleasure to listen to. On a personal note, I had a son who spent many months in the NICU when he was born. And Pej is one of the very few people who dropped everything to just show up. If that doesn’t show the true character of this man, I don’t know what else would. I am grateful for Pej, for his podcast and everything he does to touch the lives of so many. I hope you will take the opportunity to watch his podcast, support him and be a part of something bigger than all of us. Join Pej on this incredible journey.

I can’t say enough good things about Pej as a drug recovery coach. He’s been an incredible source of support and strength for a few of my clients who were struggling with addiction. His approach is not only compassionate and nonjudgmental, but also incredibly effective. He knows how to meet people where they’re at and guide them step by step toward lasting recovery. I’ve witnessed firsthand the transformation in my clients’ lives—more clarity, confidence, and hope for the future—all thanks to his dedication and insight. If you or someone you love is struggling, I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend him. He truly changes lives.

Pej is someone I have respected from a distance for his unwavering vulnerability and dedication to the recovery community. While we have not met in depth yet, it is clear through his work, and now through his podcast Primary Purpose with Pej, that he brings the same authenticity to every conversation. The stories shared on the podcast offer real insight, encouragement, and hope — not just for those in recovery, but for anyone looking for meaning or clarity in their own journey. I truly believe that listening can help people better support loved ones or even find inspiration for themselves. Grateful to see this platform growing and highly recommend following and tuning in.

“Incredible podcast — honest, uplifting, and a true support for anyone in recovery.”

The authentic conversation between these two friends, Pej and Jeremy who have both been throw highs and lows in their lives completely draws you in. Their willingness to share the hard truth about decisions they’ve made and situations they’ve gotten themselves into in life is so pure, honest and raw. I’m thankful to have gotten the opportunity to listen and learn from both of them.

After 25 years of walking this sacred path of sobriety, I know when I stumble upon something divinely guided and Primary Purpose with Pej is just that. The first episode feels like a soul conversation, rich with wisdom, humility, and the quiet miracles that happen when we surrender and grow. Pej’s heart-centered approach reminds me that healing is not only possible…it’s our birthright. This podcast is a beautiful tool for anyone seeking connection with their Higher Power, their true self, and their deeper purpose. Thank you, Pej, for being a vessel for hope and grace. I’ll keep listening with an open heart and a spirit ready for the next blessing.
