I was 28 when I went to prison. I didn’t know it then, but those 261 days would become my turning point, the foundation for everything that came after.
So here’s the question: what happens when you lose everything, your freedom, your confidence, your sense of direction, and all you have left is a stack of books and a blank page?
That’s what this podcast explores. From Prison to President isn’t about regret. It’s about the gritty process of reinvention.
In every episode, you’ll hear a page from the journal I kept behind bars, woven with 30+ years of running mulitple businesses, leading people, and learning what it really takes to move forward.
This is for the owner who feels stuck, the founder who feels like the odds are stacked against them, or anyone ready to trade excuses for momentum.
Listen in. Because From Prison to President can change your life.
