Episode Details

In this episode I go back to April 28th, 2008, the surrender drive my mom and older brother made with me, the gas station in Bakersfield, the very bad Carl's Jr. meal, and the fact that I walked in without a plan until I met Michael inside, I explain how that mentorship led to my first asset, a daily writing commitment that started on October 12, 2008, I sent pages to my mom, she put them on the internet, I got praise and criticism and kept going, I lay out why I tell people to write something today—even a napkin note—and why to build a profile on prison org with a biography, daily journals, book reports, a release plan, and testimonials that go on a leaderboard, I talk about support for the org, the First Step Act program, and policy work on credits, parole, clemency, and furloughs, and you can also read the full blog on White Collar Advice.
