Jonah Marais: WDW Lawsuit, One Direction comparisons, and New EP ‘More Than Enough’ (Full Episode)

Why Don’t We’s Jonah Marais joins us in the studio for the first time—on his own and since the lawsuit verdict. He opens up about what really happened in the courtroom and the mental and physical toll the court case, along with his years in WDW, took on him.

The 26-year-old is stunningly candid about his struggles with mental health and substance use, openly discussing his rock-bottom moment, how Liam Payne’s passing was a wake-up call, and how faith and friendship helped set him on a new path. In this incredibly intimate and grounded conversation, Marais also talks about the future of WDW, how working with Ryan Lewis on his new solo music changed the game, the importance of communication and rejecting toxic masculinity, plus so much more.
