Why does change sometimes feel easier when we're doing it alongside other people?In this Think Thursday episode, Molly explores the science behind shared goals, group support, and collective behavior change — and why being part of something can influence motivation, effort, identity, and persistence.In this episode:How social norms influence what feels normal and possibleWhy shared identity can make behavior change feel differentThe Köhler effect and how other people can increase effortWhy shared struggle helps normalize difficult daysHow group support can help without creating dependenceWhy behavior change is personal — but doesn't have to be lonelySometimes the work is still yours, but doing it alongside others can change the environment in which that work happens. ★ Support this podcast ★

Welcome back for another episode of Trudge Report. Thank you for listening and supporting our show. Around the horn sees some football talk, MLB playoffs beginning, questionable Go Fund Me accounts, a brief synopsis breakdown of the ‘To Catch a Predator Movie,' and the usual collection of tangents somehow all make their way into the conversation.Then we get into a complicated topic in recovery: medications in sobriety. Where do necessary medications fit into an abstinence-based recovery program? We share our own experiences with detox, Subutex and Suboxone, prescription medications, anxiety, dental procedures, pain management, and the fears that can come with taking certain medications after years of sobriety. We're clear we aren't doctors and aren't telling people to stop taking prescribed medication, but we do question when medication is medically necessary and when it may become something else and how slippery of a slope that can be. Should a mentor know what medications someone is taking? What happens when a person's approach to medication doesn't align with the recovery experience their mentor can actually share? And when medication truly is necessary, what role can honesty, planning, doctors, trusted friends, family, and accountability play in protecting sobriety? The question will always be; are we being honest with ourselves?Trouble accepted, trouble squarely faced with calm courage, trouble lessened and often transcended.          -Bill Wilson-Don't forget to like, share, rate, and download the podcast on all of your listening platforms.

407: If you are wanting to lose weight, get off medications, improve your brain health, metabolic health, reverse diabetes, and even help with your gut issues, this episode is JUST for you! Oh, and you don't need to spend any money on a special supplement, pill, or biohacking device. - Today's episode may be my favorite interview not just this year, but in all the 4 years I've had this podcast! I know that's saying a lot, but honestly, we didn't even scratch the surface of what we covered with Dr. Anthony Chaffee. You may have heard of him, but if you haven't, Dr. Anthony Chaffee is a medical doctor who earned his degree from the Royal College of Surgeons and has worked as a neurosurgical registrar and resident in Australia, while often coming back to the U.S.He is a hardcore carnivore, or "strict" carnivore, and has personally experienced major health benefits. He has also seen his own patients reverse type 1 & 2 diabetes, get off all medications, reverse dementia and Alzheimer's, improve gut issues such as Crohn's and colitis, reduce inflammation in the body, and so much more, all by removing plants and eating meat. We also discuss the corrupt food industry and the literature behind studies that say you need fiber or that carbs aren't the issue, because many may not know that the people and companies funding these studies will, more often than not, sway the outcome in their favor. Topics Discussed: → Why Dr. Chaffee Went Carnivore → Studies That Show Improvement With a Carnivore Diet → Dementia, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's Disease, IBS, Crohn's, Colitis, Weight Loss, Arthritis, Fatigue, Type 1 & 2 Diabetes → Why No Dairy? → Is Carnivore Safe for Kids? → The Corrupt Industry → Who's Really Funding These Studies? → Why Vegetables Cause Harm → Misconceptions About the Carnivore Diet → How to Do Carnivore While Your Family Doesn't As always, if you have any questions for the show please email us at digestthispod@gmail.com.

This is part two of my life story — and it's the chapter I've never shared this openly before. In this episode I take you through leaving my mother's home to move in with my father, whose addiction shaped everything about the environment I grew up in. I share my introduction to drugs at thirteen, how I started selling to support my habit, my first real relationship and the heartbreak that sent me into a spiral, and how by sixteen I was selling hundreds of pills a week and making thousands of dollars — until the night I was robbed at gunpoint and nearly beaten to death, and what followed after that. This one is heavy. But it's real. And if you've been with me since the beginning, this is where a lot of what I teach started to take shape — even though I couldn't see it yet.

Ann Marie Farino's oldest son, Richard, was charismatic, funny, deeply empathetic, and the kind of kid who could walk into a room and connect with just about anyone. But beginning around age 12, he also struggled with depression, anxiety, and other mental health challenges that eventually gave way to addiction. For years, Ann Marie did everything she could to help—therapists, schools, treatment programs, boundaries, second chances, and countless “deep breath mom moments” when there was no obvious right answer. Eventually, Richard got sober and stayed that way for the final three years of his life. He was working, building a life, and preparing to get married when, in June 2016, he died by suicide at just 24 years old.In this conversation, Ann Marie and Heather talk honestly about what it means to love a child through mental illness and addiction, the limits of what even a fiercely devoted parent can fix, and the complicated reality of losing someone to suicide. Ann Marie shares why, even during Richard's years of sobriety, part of her always feared what might happen, and how she came to understand that life had simply become too painful for him. They also talk about the joy and humor that existed alongside the chaos, the “divine nudges” that continue to make Ann Marie feel Richard's presence, and the bench in his hometown that has become an unexpected place of connection and remembrance. Nearly ten years after Richard's death, Ann Marie has learned that grief and joy can occupy the same life—and that the love between a mother and her son doesn't end when he dies.Resources & Ways to ConnectAnn Marie Farino Website: https://annmariefarino.com/Chronic Chaos: A Son's Addiction, A Mother's Love, and Her Quest to Find Joy: https://amplifypublishinggroup.com/product/nonfiction/health-medicine-and-wellness/mental-health/chronic-chaos/Jake's Help from Heaven Website: http://jakeshelpfromheaven.org/Jake's Help from Heaven Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jakeshelpJake's Help from Heaven Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jakeshelpAPOY Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aplaceofyespodcastHeather's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heathersstraughterOur YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@aplaceofyespodcastFor more of Heather's writing and thoughts: https://ohheather.substack.com/Everything's Jakey (Substack): https://everythingsjakey.substack.com/

These are some horrible gambling stories...

Chris Avery's story is about what can happen when faith, discipline, purpose, and consistency start changing the direction of a life.On this episode of Wild Life Outdoors, Russell sits down with Chris Avery—a life coach, marathon runner, man of faith, and creator of the Run with Christ Blueprint. Chris has overcome addiction, built a life around faith in Christ and endurance running, and is now preparing for an enormous challenge: running around the perimeter of the United States.This conversation goes well beyond running.Russell and Chris talk about the turning points that changed Chris's life, the role faith has played in that transformation, and how running became part of a larger journey toward purpose and discipline.They also get into a question that applies far beyond running:What happens when you stop focusing only on the finish line and start focusing on the purpose behind the journey?The conversation touches on addiction and recovery, replacing destructive habits with meaningful pursuits, faith-driven discipline, self-improvement, suffering, purpose, fatherhood, and the importance of consistency.Chris also explains the philosophy behind his Run with Christ Blueprint, a system designed to help men build faith and discipline.One of the biggest themes of the conversation is that transformation doesn't necessarily start with something enormous. It can start with something as simple as one mile.Chris started with one mile a day and continued building from there. That consistency eventually led to thousands of miles of running and the much larger challenges he's taking on today.The episode also explores the difference between pursuing discipline because of external expectations and pursuing discipline because of a deeper sense of faith and purpose.Chris' Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chrisaverycoaching/WHAT WE TALK ABOUT• Chris Avery's journey from addiction to transformation• Faith, Christianity, and personal discipline• How running became part of Chris's life transformation• Starting with one mile and building through consistency• Marathon running and endurance• Chris's upcoming run around the perimeter of the United States• The Run with Christ Blueprint• Faith-driven discipline vs. worldly self-optimization• Purpose and why it matters• The role of suffering and difficult seasons in personal growth• Addiction, replacing destructive habits, and finding meaningful pursuits• Fatherhood and leading by example• Building consistency through daily action• Why the journey can matter more than the finish lineThis is a conversation about running, but it's really about something much bigger: what you're building your life around and what happens when you keep showing up.If you've ever struggled with finding purpose, building discipline, changing direction, or simply figuring out where to start, there's plenty here to think about.If you enjoy the conversation, like the video, subscribe to Wild Life Outdoors, and leave a comment.

Welcome to episode #285!

Chris Olsen has built an empire on TikTok with fourteen million followers, his own coffee brand and a bestselling memoir, and he's sitting down with Josh for a chat that goes way deeper than the algorithm usually allows. Chris talks to Josh about his recent breakup, his close friendship with Meghan Trainor and some of the most formative conversations of his life that he had with his mum whilst she was discovering she was an alcoholic. He walks Josh through the intervention that changed everything on September 28th, 2017 and the biggest misconceptions people still have about addiction. Josh and Chris also get into coming out at 13, the internalised homophobia that still exists within the queer community, and why Chris thinks the UK's new social media age restrictions are the right call.  Chris also joins the group chat to answer your questions, including about that viral Harry Styles "daddy" sign and the worst opening line to a TikTok video.

Dopamine plays a major role in wanting and seeking a reward, like opening the refrigerator and looking for something even though you're already full.One of the most powerful addictions today is smartphone addiction. Checking your texts, emails, and social media feeds can consume hours of your life. The average person checks their phone around 130 to 160 times per day! Smartphone addiction can become especially dangerous when it leads to behaviors like texting while driving.One way to help break an addiction is to add friction and time between yourself and the behavior. DATA:https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5171207/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2815034/ https://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/addiction/delivery/ https://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/abouthttps://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11150183/ Dr. Eric Berg, DC, Bio:Dr. Berg, DC, age 61, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

What if becoming whole requires you to release some of the identities, beliefs and versions of yourself that once made you feel safe?In this episode of Mirror Talk: Soulful Conversations, Tobi sits down with Cristine Hull, a writer, speaker, teacher and Doctor of Natural Medicine whose life has been shaped by addiction recovery, Christian faith, psychology, meditation, personal reinvention and a continuing exploration of consciousness and what she calls ego-management.Cristine has lived through several profound transitions. At twenty, she experienced a dramatic shift from cocaine addiction toward Christian faith. Years later, an encounter with a former Buddhist monk during a period of intense anxiety challenged her understanding of healing, spirituality and the ways truth can sometimes arrive outside the frameworks we have built around it.Her professional journey has been equally unconventional. Cristine has worked in substance-abuse counselling, school psychology and clinical mental health before eventually stepping away from a thriving practice and exploring more integrative approaches to human wellbeing.But this conversation goes far beyond professional credentials.Cristine opens up about changing her marriage, family life, home, name and career; confronting unsuccessful business approaches; learning to recognise the ego even within spiritual growth; and discovering why surrender has become one of the defining themes of her life.We explore:What addiction may be searching for beneath the surfaceFaith, spirituality and the courage to question familiar beliefsHow ego can disguise itself as certainty, enlightenment or the need to be rightRemaining open to unconventional ideas without abandoning discernmentWhy personal transformation sometimes requires letting an old identity dieThe difference between surrender and giving upCristine's idea of “being at zero” and returning to neutralityPhysical, psychological, spiritual, relational and financial wholenessTaking the next step when life does not reveal the entire pathWhat it means to live a truly soulful lifeCHAPTERS00:00 Introduction to Cristine Hull's Journey02:17 What Simple Thing Makes You Smile?03:37 Surrender, Faith & Spiritual Awakening06:40 Understanding Ego Structure & Ego Management08:33 Addiction, Recovery & Finding Another Way14:12 Looking Back at Her Younger Self23:15 Exploring Spiritual & Unconventional Approaches to Healing28:15 Returning to Truth, Neutrality & “Being at Zero”39:56 What Does Living a Soulful Life Mean?43:39 Connecting With Cristine HullOne of the most powerful ideas Cristine brings into the conversation is simple:Freedom may exist on the other side of the thing we are afraid to release.Sometimes growth is not about adding another achievement, identity, strategy or answer.Sometimes it begins with letting go.Listen to this soulful conversation and ask yourself:What am I still protecting that I may already have outgrown?Learn more about Cristine Hull and her work at cristinehull.com.This conversation is educational in nature and is not a substitute for professional medical, psychological or mental-health care.If this conversation speaks to you, follow Mirror Talk: Soulful Conversations and share the episode with someone who may need it.Keep reflecting.Keep growing.Keep becoming.And keep looking into the mirror.Continue Your JourneyRead CONFESSIONS: A personal invitation to reflection, healing and honest self-discovery: https://mirrortalkpodcast.com/confessions-book/ Ask Mirror Talk: Share what is on your heart and receive a thoughtful reflection that may help you see your situation more clearly: https://mirrortalkpodcast.com/ask-mirror-talk/ You can also support our work and outreach by becoming a Mirror Talk Patreon member: http://patreon.com/MirrorTalk

In this episode, I'm joined by Nathan Crane for a raw conversation about addiction, trauma, spirituality, the subconscious mind and what real healing can look like. Nathan shares his journey from homelessness, addiction, depression and a suicide attempt as a teenager to decades of studying meditation, nervous system regulation and human potential.We talk about why the patterns we call self-sabotage may have started as protection, how childhood experiences can shape adult behavior, and why compassion can take us deeper than constantly trying to fix ourselves. Nathan also takes me through a powerful live parts-work exercise that gets very personal, very quickly.Highlights:(04:32) - Nathan's journey through addiction, homelessness and finding a completely different path(17:41) - Why there may be a solution to every problem, but you don't always have to be the one to solve it(24:28) - The gratitude practice Nathan has used for years to retrain where his mind focuses(32:01) - How childhood experiences can become subconscious beliefs that follow us into adulthood(39:58) - Inside Nathan's Awaken Process and how he approaches root-cause healing(45:17) - Nathan takes me through live parts work to uncover what's underneath one of my own reactionsConnect with Nathan:https://open.spotify.com/show/6IO2h2UhUHMD0jFRs416D6https://www.instagram.com/nathancraneofficial/?hl=enQualia Mind - click hereCoupon Code: SHOCKANDYALL (15% off any purchase)Visit Nicole's on demand fitness platform for live weekly classes and a recorded library of yoga, strength training, guided audio meditations and mobility (Kinstretch) classes, as well: https://www.sweatandstillness.comGrab Nicole's bestselling children's book and enter your email for A FREE GIFT: https://www.yolkedbook.comFind Nicole on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/nicolesciacca/Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thenicolesciaccaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/nicolesciaccayoga/Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1X8PPWCQa2werd4unex1eAPractice yoga with Nicole in person in Santa Monica, CA at Aviator Nation Ride.

From a prison cell, Kevin “Big Country” Gilhouse used to look out at a lake and dream about fishing with his son. Years later, he found himself on that very lake, looking at his son on one side and the prison unit where he spent some of his darkest years on the other. ❤️Inside Louisiana State Penitentiary, better known as Angola Prison, Kevin shares his incredible journey from a childhood spent in foster care to years of addiction, violence and hopelessness behind bars. At his lowest point, Kevin reached out for help and entered the New Men program, where he found a community of men who encouraged him to pursue Jesus.On May 23, 2024, Kevin gave his life to Christ. Today, he shares how his faith has transformed the way he sees himself, his family and his purpose inside prison.In this episode of the God Behind Bars Podcast, Kevin sits down to share the emotional story of fishing with his son for the first time, the unexpected moment his daughter received his prison identification number at a GBB event, and the important role his wife has played in keeping their family connected. He also opens up about the moments he wishes he could get back as a father and the message he wants his children to hear.“I'm better than the worst thing I've ever done.”Kevin's story is a reminder that our past does not have to define our future and that God can bring hope, healing and purpose even inside prison walls.At God Behind Bars, our mission is to introduce inmates to Jesus and connect them to the local church.

There's a point where you can't blame your past anymore. You have to look in the mirror and decide who you're going to become.My guest, Shane Goodbar, has lived both sides of that truth.Shane was sexually abused as a child, learned to hide behind a mask, and eventually found escape through alcohol and drugs. What started as a way to numb the pain spiraled into addiction, broken relationships, multiple DUIs, jail, and a moment where he came terrifyingly close to taking another man's life.But this isn't just a story about addiction. It's about accountability, recovery, fatherhood, faith, forgiveness, and what happens when you finally stop seeing yourself as the victim of your own life.In this episode:How childhood sexual abuse shaped Shane's identity and need to escapeWhy drugs and alcohol became a way to stop feelingThe rock-bottom moment that finally broke through years of denialHow a two-year therapeutic community completely rebuilt his lifeWhy recovery meant learning to love the man staring back in the mirrorWhat stayed with me most was Shane's willingness to own all of it. Not excuse it. Not hide from it. Own it.Because no matter how lost you've become, your past doesn't have to be where your story ends. But eventually, you have to take the first step.Key Moments:00:00 The man behind the mask03:18 Hiding childhood sexual abuse06:02 When drugs became the escape09:41 Living two different lives13:15 Addiction starts taking over17:46 The relationship that changed everything21:07 Becoming a father changes the path24:49 The lie he told himself about fatherhood27:07 His fourth DUI and arrest30:04 Ten days after leaving jail33:09 When rock bottom finally hit36:03 Facing the man he had become39:01 Learning to love himself again42:03 The identity crisis facing men45:12 Finding God after years of pain48:26 Why surrender finally brought peace51:03 His message to anyone still lost53:02 What recovery actually gives youConnect with Me:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tyler.hall/Connect with Shane:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sr_goodbar/

What does it really mean to walk in the freedom Christ has given us—and how should Christians respond when the culture increasingly loses sight of the value of human life? This week on Fearless with Mark & Amber, we're back from our Walking in Freedom event in Jacksonville, Florida, reflecting on an incredible weekend of ministry, fellowship, testimonies, and conversations with men and women carrying very real wounds from their past. One theme kept surfacing: assumptions. What happens when someone walks into a church looking for help but encounters judgment before anyone has taken the time to hear their story? We talk about welcoming the prodigal, confessing our struggles to one another, breaking free from addiction, and refusing to keep “fishing” for sins that God has already forgiven. Mark also shares some of what came out of his men's breakout session on biblical manhood, pornography, addiction, temptation, and why prayer—and sometimes radical changes in our lives—are necessary when we truly want freedom. Then the conversation turns to the value of human life. We revisit the Lindsey Clancy case before discussing a troubling report from the Netherlands involving the euthanasia of a two-year-old child suffering from severe medical conditions. How should Christians think about suffering, compassion, justice, euthanasia, and the sanctity of life? Ultimately, the question is not whether a human life is easy, productive, healthy, or free from suffering. Human beings are made in the image of God. The Lord is the Author of life. We are not. Scripture discussed:
 James 5:16
 Genesis 1
 The Prodigal Son
 Biblical warnings concerning temptation

I state unequivocally at the outset that the paramount message of our conversation is that there is hope for veterans ensnared by addiction, PTSD, and the disorienting vicissitudes of transition. I, alongside Chef JB Brown, engage Daniel “Smoke,” a United States Marine, who recounts his trajectory from enlistment and frontline service to a decade-long struggle with substance abuse, incarceration, and profound moral injury. We examine the concrete pathway to rehabilitation that he embraced: solicitation of assistance, enrollment in Veterans Treatment Court, immersion in Camp Hope's therapeutic milieu, and the sustaining influence of peer accountability. I recount how sustained commitment to those resources enabled him to reclaim custody of his child, secure stable employment, and rebuild a life anchored in serviceable purpose. We emphasize that recovery is arduous yet attainable, and we exhort fellow veterans to request aid without shame. I close by affirming that strength and honor remain guiding tenets as one pursues reintegration and restoration.Takeaways:I describe my decade-long struggle with addiction, legal trouble, and shame before seeking help.I recount how a prayer and asking for help in jail began my path to recovery and change.We explain the role of Camp Hope and veteran treatment court in offering structured therapy and clear accountability.I emphasize peer-to-peer support and camaraderie as essential to maintain long-term recovery and regain purpose.I share that recovery required hard work, steady accountability, and years of consistent effort to rebuild trust.I tell how regaining custody of my daughter and finding stable work renewed my hope and responsibility.I offer a clear message: there is always hope, and asking for help can change your life.We discuss how military training and values like strength and honor can be repurposed to support recovery and resilience in civilian life.LinksCo-HostAaron Q.

Thom's Nutshell: Serious condition: I'll be okay as soon as that thing that happened to me didn't happen to me. There's a difference between blame and responsibility. Blame comes from “low differentiation,” or a low level of emotional maturity. It's a sign of where we're stuck in our development-fused with our environments. Taking responsibility, conversely, empowers us. It gives us more possibilities, brings in enthusiasm and zeal. We're working towards self-support, where we act for ourselves without being selfish, and acting for others without losing ourselves.

Stephen McWhirter is here today and we're talking about what it looks like to worship even when shame is telling you that you don't belong in the room. Stephen has a story of radical restoration. He went from hating Jesus, battling addiction, and feeling completely beyond saving to becoming a worship leader, songwriter, and someone who now gets to tell people all over the world that Jesus is real. He's also the author of Radically Restored and the songwriter behind a song you probably hear often: “Come Jesus Come.” I think Stephen's story is going to remind you that worship isn't something we earn the right to do. It's a response to the grace we've already been given.  Find the show notes here . . . . Order your copy of Don't Let That Hold You Back wherever you love to buy books! . . . .

What if the goal of More Sober October isn't a perfect calendar—but learning something about your relationship with alcohol?In this episode, Molly shares how to approach October as an experiment instead of an exam. Rather than measuring success solely by alcohol-free days, use the month to get curious about your desire to drink, practice experiencing urges without automatically acting on them, and notice what genuinely changes when you drink less.What You'll Learn:How to choose a More Sober October goal that works for youWhat may actually be driving your desire to drinkWhy wanting a drink doesn't mean you have to have oneHow Alcohol Core Beliefs influence your drinking habitsWhat to notice about sleep, energy, mood, and social situations when you drink lessWhy an off-plan day is information—not failureTry ThisChoose a goal for October and a question you want to answer.Maybe it's: Does alcohol really help me relax? Can I enjoy Friday night without drinking? What happens to my sleep when I drink less?The goal isn't to win October. It's to finish the month understanding yourself—and your relationship with alcohol—a little better.Join More Sober October-The DailyLow risk drinking guidelines from the NIAAA:Healthy men under 65:No more than 4 drinks in one day and no more than 14 drinks per week.Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older:No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week.One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.Abstinence from alcoholAbstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.Benefits of “low-risk” drinkingFollowing these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more. It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work. ★ Support this podcast ★

Kevin "Fresh" Townsend grew up in Brooklyn with his father in prison and his mother raising him on her own. He took to the streets at a young age, dropped out of high school, became involved with gangs, and started dealing drugs. Then, at just 19 years old, he landed on America's Most Wanted for a murder he says he did not commit. After two trials, Kevin was convicted and sentenced to 20 years to life in New York state prison. Over the next two decades, he ran with the Bloods, navigated Rikers Island, and survived some of New York's toughest maximum-security prisons. After serving 20 years, Kevin finally walked free — just two weeks before sitting down to record this episode. _____________________________________________ Become an EXCLUSIVE Locked In: After Hours Member & recieve a FREE merch box: https://lockedin.supportingcast.fm/ _____________________________________________ Connect with Kevin "Fresh" Townsend: Book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DPSW499L?lv=shuf&channelId=500&plpRedirect=mhFallback Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/townsendrealm/ _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction to Kevin 00:50 Growing Up in Brooklyn 02:10 The Impact of Having a Father in Prison 03:03 Street Lessons and Gang Life 03:57 Gambling and the Addiction to Money 06:10 The Routine of Gang Life 08:12 Staying Away from Selling Drugs 10:14 Family Love and His Father's Advice 12:56 Reading Books and Dreaming of a Better Life 14:27 A History of Violence and Fear 17:35 Charged with Murder 25:53 Arrest and Interrogation 27:31 Lack of Evidence and False Testimony 30:19 First Day at Rikers and the Start of Prison Life 34:00 First Trial and Mistrial 37:12 Convicted at the Second Trial 40:01 Sentencing and a 20-Year Prison Sentence 44:37 Failed Appeals and Losing Hope 48:53 Sent Upstate to Prison 51:18 Five Points and Adjusting to a New Life 54:00 Prison Rules and Survival Tactics 57:19 Solitary Confinement and Mental Struggles 59:49 Transfers Between Prisons and Different Experiences 01:04:18 Relationships with Other Inmates and Unexpected Events 01:07:57 Back in Solitary and Working on Himself 01:12:54 Released from Prison and Reuniting with Family 01:15:19 Adjusting to Life on the Outside 01:18:50 New Goals and Hope for the Future 01:23:22 Marriage and Relationship Struggles 01:26:29 Lessons from Prison and Advice for Young People _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka
