On today's rewind hear an incredible story from Jason Spyres. Jason suffered a major injustice as a result of selling cannabis in his teens. Jason was arrested on drug charges nearly 20 years ago. In the years since, he’s been on a path of personal success. When he was 19 years old, he was arrested for selling cannabis during an undercover sting, and until recently, the state of Illinois had kept him out of society for it. Jason served 15 years of a 30-year prison sentence. Once Jason got a taste of freedom, he pushed relentlessly for his goals. While on work release he worked 2 jobs and took on a full slate of college classes to work towards his goal of becoming an engineer. Currently, Jason is enrolled at Stanford University and is actively petitioning the Governor of Illinois for a full pardon. Jason will be the first to tell you that he's not doing this for himself, but to blaze a trail for those who do not have the resources to fight for themselves. Learn more about your ad choices.

Judy Henderson joins John to talk about the unbelievable injustice she suffered in the criminal justice system. In 1982, Judy Henderson was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for 50 years for her role in a robbery-turned-murder. Her boyfriend at the time – the man who committed a robbery, fired a gun, killed someone, and shot Henderson herself in the process – went free, while Henderson did the time. In December of 2017, Missouri Governor Eric Greitens commuted Judy Henderson’s sentence to time served: 36 years and 111 days. The Governor reached this decision after he and his counsel reviewed thousands of pages of reports, court transcripts, letters, and records related to Henderson’s case.

Today’s guest on Finding Freedom is Joy Watson. Joy shares her remarkable story. It will have you crying along with her and cheering her on as she perseveres through many traumatic experiences along the way. Through it all, Joy kept her spirit and came out of prison on the other side with a heart that is eager to help others and to chase her dreams. Unfortunately, Joy’s story starts similar to so many of the formerly incarcerated that I talk to. She got caught up in a situation with her husband selling pot and the feds nailed her with conspiracy charges. Joy decided to fight because she knew she was innocent and as almost always happens, the feds won. Joy was convicted of conspiracy to possess marijuana and money laundering. She was sentenced to 18 years in prison. She served 12 of those year and was finally released on December 23rd 2019.

On today's Finding Freedom Rewind we look back on an incredible interview with polygraph expert Doug Williams. Doug shares with John why he believes the polygraph to be a complete fraud of a technology. This episode originally aired in September of 2018. Unfortunately, Doug passed away in March of 2021. He had been battling an illness. May he rest in peace. Doug administered polygraph examinations for the Oklahoma City Police department from 1972 - 79. In 1979 he began teaching people how to beat the polygraph. The feds didn't like this so they came after him and he was incarcerated in Federal prison for 2 years for "protesting the loudest and the longest against the polygraph." Williams was finally released from prison on July 26th 2017. Visit Run Your Mouth Coffee and use promo code "freedom" for 10% off and Free Shipping! Drink Coffee. Run Your Mouth. Repeat.

Today’s episode is an amazing conversation with Magette Wade. Ms. Wade is the Senegalese founder and CEO of Skin is Skin, the "lip balm with a mission" - a staple at Whole Foods. One thing she said struck me down to my soul. "Criticize by creating," Ms. Wade said. She discussed the power that capitalism holds to bring prosperity to Africa and the pitfalls of centralized planning, which have led to much of the economic struggle in so many African nations. Ms. Wade uncovered the root cause of how over regulation and corruption took root in African countries. I promise her explanation is likely one you haven't heard before and one that certainly has not been taught in American schools. Throughout our conversation Ms. Wade confronted topics head on with grace and shared how her own worldview evolved as she experienced life, first in Senegal, then Europe and finally the United States. Ms. Wade, is using her company as a vehicle to educate and to prevent discrimination while creating jobs and economic prosperity in her home country of Senegal. Learn more about your ad choices.
