On April 28th, 2008, I surrendered to the Taft federal prison camp, three years to the day after the FBI came to my door. I wasn't ready. I stuffed myself at Carl's Jr., lied to my family, and walked in with no real plan other than to exercise and keep my head down. In this episode, I talk about what it felt like to go in lost, the lessons I learned from my mentor Michael Santos, and how creating something tangible—a handwritten blog—became the turning point for my time inside. I share how reading with purpose, writing daily, and documenting progress changed not only my prison experience but also my family's ability to see I was okay. If you're preparing to surrender or already sentenced, these lessons matter. You can also read the full blog version of this message on White Collar Advice.
