I like this guy. Did his time, didn’t sensationalize his time, didn’t blame others. He owned it, bettered himself and is on a path of success.

@@southphillylilly Ironic thing is you’re bullshitting yourself and others with this comment. The particular city has nothing to do with how you’re going to turn out. These qualities come from parents and from within. There are a ton of garbage people from Philly and everyone knows it. Just like there are a ton of shit people in every city.
Young men be careful! One night can ruin your life! Glad he survived and is on to great things!
One Bad Decision can change your life forever. My Mother always said ( Nothing Good happens after 10:30pm). She was right.
Sorry all, I forgot the part that when they got to the hospital they didn’t have a trauma unit so they transported me to a different hospital that did. How dare I forget an important piece of information that happened 13+ years ago. Crazy that that’s what some people pulled out of this whole hour plus interview. Bless you all!

Yeah that's crazy. As soon as I heard you say getting blood I automatically went to "rushed to Episcopal by car, transported by Ambulance to Temple or Penn" Don't sweat those bullshit comments. Your story was great to hear and it came from a humble place not trying to glorify or play up anything. Respect for the changes you made. People who don't live in Philly don't know what the crime is like here. Your situation could have happened to many of us. Much respect for taken responsibility and not trying to put it on anyone else. That's not what you see on many of these stories. Congrats on starting a business and hustling to make something legit. God bless 🙏

This guy….at every Fkn turn of the interview….which btw Ian was masterful…he had the right answers. It was really inspiring. This guy deserves so much credit. God bless. Ian. Excellent work
Awesome interview. I’ve worked corrections as a nurse and have heard so many stories. But I laughed when he said that a human brain doesn’t fully develop or “mature” until the age of 25 because it dawned on me that I was 25 when I left a toxic marriage. So I just had one of those light bulb turns on “ahhh” makes sense moments. 😂

Hi Ian, Love your interviews! 👏👏👏Another Great one. Always sharing and looking to educate the next one. You can definitely really pick the ones that regret and give Thanks for the 2nd chances and opportunities. Thank You Frank for sharing and Congrats to You for changing your life around. What really bothered me is we're ALL human and w/ that comes mistakes (some harsher than others). What bothered me is that he couldn't evn get an R&B. Ridiculous! Frank paid his DEBT and has a company w/ 15 employees (which says a lot) As well as a Family that stands w/ him. Give credit where credit is due. This Country needs to change and for the better. Thank You Ian for ALL the hard work and time you put in to try and hopefully make a change and to Frank for having the courage and strength to admit your wrong doings so others don't follow in that direction. Much Respect to Both You Men 💯

I was in the county jail for 7 days (felt like 7 months and the worst time of my life) and I keep hearing girls say they couldn't wait to be shipped to prison and it blew my mind

I hear ya but the flip side is if I have been sitting in jail for a year fighting down a case (that I know is getting me prison time, just a matter of how much) I’d just be ready to get it over with and start moving on. I think I read somewhere that plea deal acceptance rates pretty much triple once a person has been in the county/city jail for 12 months or more.
Good lesson Frank taught was chasing excellence and not women or any other bs that doesn’t bring value to your life. Much love and respect to both of you guys.

“Ambulance never came” “They gave me blood in the ambulance “
You made the comment about him sitting in county awaiting his fate was unjust. He was a menace to society at the time. He was where he needed to be at the time. Glad life has turned around.
I got to stop at five minutes and when he said my mom might’ve done something to him and I don’t know the full story there’s a lot of us that want to be there that we’re kicked out of the situation, toxic mothers and I guess on the contrary really toxic fathers I can already tell that I like this guy I swear that I didn’t wanna see any more prison shit there’s too much out there at this channels. Just got something different. You’re actually bringing out reformed people ive done time anybody who has a release date of can use that time to better themselves.

Couldn't agree more, so good to see success for these gentlemen who believe that they deserve & can obtain a better life than the one afforded them... Excellent job & a great podcast..
They say that the average man doesn't reach mental maturity until almost 50 years of age...
I seen this kid around the neighborhood a couple times, he's an average normal kid who got unlucky catching a case. I hope he makes it.

Most interested in the piece that was left out. Why was it attempted murder? Was a weapon used? It’s like he didn’t want to give details
There’s something very endearing about this guy
We have a spent conviction scheme in most states in Australia where after 10 years, your convictions become 'spent' and they won't be disclosed to employers doing criminal record checks - doesn't count for sex offences, 'working with children' checks or firearms applications though and a few other industries but for the rest of the world, your past disappears after 10 years.

30 feet ahead, hardly even turned around, shot and it actually hit?!? That's one lucky shot or the guy had some next level skill with a handgun! Pistols aren't very accurate especially at that distance, add in adrenaline, a moving target and what sounds like not even aiming, that was likely just luck at that point... Sorry to start my comment with something so negative, that part of your story just surprised me. Glad you survived and doing great today!
