Yes chosen and gifted

This is exactly what I went through I was incarcerated luckily only 2 years. My celly taught me about the financial markets and business structure and we would talk about it all night long and go over penny stocks in the wall street journal and going over tax liens deals as a business opportunity extension. I then got out and learned to trade options as penny stocks were too risky then I learned forex which trades all around the clock. I started llc which was product based and failed but it taught me the structure. I learned about corporations and their ability to set up one easily. I taught my brother how to start his own construction business and get it creditable through a duns number and how to open a business bank account. The base of all my self taught education came from prison and wanting to better my life for me and my family. A lot of my friends ask me where did I learn all this stuff and I tell them prison and that just reinforces my thought process that anyone can go after it if they want it bad enough. I only look to successful people or people that strive for success I don't watch dumb videos of people on facebook fighting or stuff that is a waste of time. I don't talk about people, I give them the benefit of the doubt. There's so much more I want to say but to everyone out there that's struggling and wants to learn something different I do recommend stocks and currency, you can build it into a business. and possibly be financially free with patience. just remember this" patience + persistence = profits". thanks curtis for sharing your story I came acrossed it look for successful people and you're in my list.

This Dude Is Too Smart, FREE HIM!

I’m crying, this has touched my heart so much. WOW! This guy is so POWERFUL. He has found himself while being lost.

I want to be part of the solution. I have over 22 years in finance and didn’t realize until a few years ago how rare that was. I’ve gone to the communities and helped twelve 11-19 year old kids understand, create, run and earn income from a business and product they created. I’m in the midst of creating an online school where individuals can create a course based around their talent, skill or trade, regardless of their degree or background. Mr. Carroll and his story always fires me up!! However, I felt him when he spoke of the pressure he feels about getting out, how he wants the opportunity to experience life and not being sure of where to start. He is in deed a phenomenon who can and will find his place in helping the communities but, it’s gonna take us all to help and do. Let’s give him a hand in making a smooth transition back into society, allow him to feel freedom and let’s help as best we can to contribute any way we can to educate, protect and lovingly hold each other accountable. Just like Mr. Carroll, we all have gifts, talents, and good stuff inside us. Sometimes we just need someone to pull the good stuff out of us. I’m tired of seeing the gifts of my brothers and sisters killed, stifled and locked away. We got us, never forget that. We built, created, farmed, reared, and were brilliant long before the mission to make us feel otherwise. How many of us here will find just one way to use their gifts as tools to help shape the next generations, to help heal the current generation and honor our older generations? How will you contribute? We got us, never forget that❤️

Either way said it’s still something LACKED in the Black community. Either you know it or you don’t. And those whom do know it keep the information. Don’t share it unless the knowledge is being sold. OR those whom don’t know it or take the time to learn it never learn it and make mistakes later down the line that can cost them thousand one even millions!?

Damn this dude is amazing. God bless him i hope he gets out.

HE NEEDS TO WRITE A BOOK ASAP!! I'll buy a copy for myself and one for everyone I know. This story is beyond inspiring!

AS did you know in the 90ies early 2000s a law was passed and inmates can not make money anymore "off their crime" or i believe in anyway in prison. Im about 99% sure that includes writing a book pertaining to his life, or even finance for that matter. If he writes a book a lot of the profits will go to the victims family 😞 he wont get any money from it.

It was in 2018 when President Trump signed the First Step act. It was that bill he was speaking of that allowed him to go up for parole in 2020. Instead of after serving 40 years. It did away with the outrageous bill that President Bill Clinton championed and signed into law. That bill caused a lot of people to go to prison for extremely long sentences.

The criminal cases I have seen some of the guys are bright and intelligent. If they could grind it out. They could either rise through the ranks of a company or own their own business. What you see is a free man in prison. As opposed to a incarcerated man who is in prison.

The toughest lessons in life comes from discipline, however the knowledge is invaluable, the young people of today need to hear this man, America is truly the last free nation, when a young man from prison who took responsibility for his own actions (murder) can still change his live, and the lives of others.

He MURDERED someone, cold careless and without compassion and being illiterate and having bad beginnings is no excuse...even he says his actions are not justified..he took life from someone and he deserves life and the similar actions of other murderers who got away with it doesn't parallel to this or absolve him...they deserve the same fate but got away...if you really think because 1 person got away with crime, everyone should get away with a crime, you have serious issues...glad he has bettered his life and made changes but he doesn't deserve freedom, no one who willingly takes life from someone without provocation deserves absolution in my opinion.

education is the answer to all. our culture around education needs to change.

This is real right here man lot of respect for this man... "The more educated you get, the less excuses you can make -Curtis "wall street" Carroll
