When you think "convicted felon," you would not picture Craig Stanland.The "reinvention architect," TEDx speaker and author looks like just about the most upstanding citizen you're likely to meet.But looks can be deceiving; when Stanland was living a high-flying lifestyle many years ago, he was embezzling money to do it. And he sees his greatest failure NOT as the crime he committed (or going to jail) but what preceded the crime.Now he helps other people find fulfillment before they reach the point he was at. We get into all of that, as well as his three-step process for bouncing back from failure, in this episode.For more info, go to www.failyourway.com.
On today's show we are going to be talking to Craig Stanland .He's a former felon and has turned his life around after finding his value in prison. ABOUT BRETT Brett Johnson. Former U.S. Most Wanted Cybercriminal. Now Good Guy. The United States Secret Service called Mr. Johnson "The Original Internet Godfather" for his role in refining modern financial cybercrime. Or to put it another way: Brett was convicted of 39 felonies, placed on the U.S. Most Wanted List, escaped from prison, and … he built the first organized cybercrime community, Shadowcrew was a precursor to today's darknet and darknet markets, and it laid the foundation for the way modern cybercrime channels operate today. Johnson was sentenced to 90 months in Federal Prison. End of story? Not hardly. Brett found redemption through his sister, his wife Michele, and finally the FBI. He was given the chance to turn his life around. He took it. Today, Brett is considered one of the leading authorities on cybercrime, identity theft, and cybersecurity on the planet. He works hard to protect businesses and consumers from the type of person he used to be. Follow me for more at: www.thebrettjohnsonshow.com

Craig describes how he had it all; a wonderful wife, a fantastic job, multiple homes, beautiful cars, expensive watches. Craig would spend most days shopping at extravagant stores and bouncing into fancy restaurants for meals and drinks. He was a VIP at some of the best restaurants in Greenwich and Manhattan. But this wasn't enough. He wanted more. Craig saw his financial numbers falling as he was paying less attention to his large clients than his flashy, materialistic lifestyle. He had to make a choice and he saw only one option: commit fraud against one of the largest technology companies in the world. Hear how this path led to fifteen FBI agents at his front door, a sentence of twenty-four months of federal prison, three years of supervised release, and $834,307 in restitution. Craig shares the struggles of losing absolutely everything and spending time in federal prison. He describes a vision of suicide that he couldn't shake for months and wasn't able to share.

Have you ever thought to yourself if you are really the one supposed to be speaking on a stage? For a lot of people, that's what holds them back. Some people have low self-esteem, especially after making a mistake in life that they find unworthy to stand before people and share a message. They may feel so torn, and a message that could inspire, encourage or motivate others gets lost in fear. If that sounds like you, today's episode with Craig Stanland has all the encouragement you need. Craig Stanland is a Reinvention Architect & Mindset Coach, TEDx/Keynote Speaker, and Best-Selling Author. He specializes in helping people break free from autopilot, reach their full potential, and become the author of their extraordinary life stories so they can fill the success-sized hole without giving up everything they've fought so hard to build.

In today's episode of Wake Up Your Warrior, me my great friend, Craig Stanland take a look at our inner workings and talk about our journeys through rock bottoms, our experiences, and how we've coped with that. In the podcast, we talk about Craig's journey through prison, being stuck in the dark without a hint of hope, and being able to reform yourself. In 2012, Craig Stanland made a choice that would cost him everything. After exploiting the warranty policy of one of the largest tech companies in the world for almost a year, the FBI finally knocked on his door. He was arrested and sentenced to 2 years of Federal Prison, followed by 3 years of Supervised Release, and ordered to pay $834,307 in restitution. He lost his wife, his homes, his cars, his career, and even his identity. He wanted nothing more than to die. A well-timed prison visit from his best friend of over thirty years turned his life around. Today, Craig is a Reinvention Architect & Mindset Coach, best-selling author, TEDx and Keynote speaker. He works 1:1 with clients so they can re-architect the life of their dreams.

This is going to be a short week for a lot of people and you might be traveling. What a perfect time to get caught up on podcasts! We have Craig Stanland, A Great Dude in Fraud, for our guests. You know I like to interview people who have been on the other side so to speak. I am picky however and really want to hear the personal side of their experiences. Craig does a wonderful job of his personal experience and has written about it in his book, Blank Canvas. Link in the show notes. The book is so incredibly personal. We were connected by Jeff Grant who you have listened to in episode 39. This past week I took a much-needed break and got to read and listen to podcasts at a beautiful beach. A new podcast I am listening to is The Criminology Academy. Sally Simpson was a guest on episode 32. I hope to have her on this podcast. Such interesting work and she used to live in Oregon! Also, episode 30 with Wim Huisman was fantastic. The ACFE Nashville chapter made my day by including Great Women in Fraud as one of their Top 5 podcasts. What an honor. Stay tuned to Bad Blood the Final Frontier because Elizabeth Holmes is testifying this week. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Today I welcome Craig Stanland to the pod! Craig is the author of the book “Blank Canvas; How I Reinvented My Life After Prison”. Craig was a top executive at a big tech company in NYC when he began committing mail fraud against a partner company, only to have the whole scam come to light one morning when the FBI showed up at his front door. Craig opens up about his journey into and out of prison, losing everything, the fear, shame, and loneliness resulting from those decisions, and how he's reinvented himself since he's been out. Craig gets deeply vulnerable and shares so much of his story including his experience with thoughts about suicide.September is Suicide Awareness Month. If you or someone you know is thinking about suicide—whether you are in crisis or not—call or live chat the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255). Talking with someone about your thoughts and feelings can save your life.You can find Craig, his Tedx talk, and his book, “Blank Canvas; How I Reinvented My Life After Prison” here:Website: www.craigstanland.comBlank Canvas: https://geni.us/LifeafterPrisonTEDx: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrkG9VQzqIoIG: @craig_stanlandLI: https://www.linkedin.com/in/craigstanland/

Today we are speaking with Reinvention Architect, Craig Stanland. After hitting rock bottom, Craig was forced to make a choice: give up or rebuild. He thought he had "it all" until he lost sight of what's truly important and made the worst decision of his life, losing everything along the way, including his own self-worth. Through the painful, terrifying process of starting over, Craig ultimately discovered that when you have nothing, anything is possible. Today, Craig is an author, speaker, and Reinvention Architect. He specializes in working with people who want to reinvent themselves so they can create the extraordinary lives they've always wanted. He is celebrating the release of his upcoming book, “Blank Canvas - How I Recreated My Life”, released on May 25th, 2021 and hit Bestseller on Amazon. In this episode we discuss: 1) The difference between internal and external fulfillment. External fulfillment comes from outside of us and chasing monetary items or status in order to feel that fulfillment. Internal fulfillment comes from inside of ourselves. This was one of the most powerful lessons that Craig learned during his time in federal prison. 2) Sometimes our life has to blow up in order to create the space to start over. We have to know one side of the coin before we can know the other side. We have to know dark to know light and sadness to know happiness. We choose what we focus on and this is how we learn to re-write the story. 3) The power of shame and how it stops us from living, showing up and allowing ourselves to be seen. Craig shares how he worked through the shame up to the point of planning his suicide. 4) Embracing vulnerability to learning our value and worth is the path to creating freedom. When we are being vulnerable we are giving others the permission to be vulnerable too. It can also lead us to the most incredible relationships and people who are meant to make a difference or an impact in our lives. We must be open and willing to receive this support from others.

#260: Life is a Blank Canvas with Craig Stanland Today we are speaking with Reinvention Architect, Craig Stanland. After hitting rock bottom, Craig was forced to make a choice: give up or rebuild. He thought he had "it all" until he lost sight of what's truly important and made the worst decision of his life, losing everything along the way, including his own self-worth. Through the painful, terrifying process of starting over, Craig ultimately discovered that when you have nothing, anything is possible. Today, Craig is an author, speaker, and Reinvention Architect. He specializes in working with people who want to reinvent themselves so they can create the extraordinary lives they've always wanted. He is celebrating the release of his upcoming book, “Blank Canvas - How I Recreated My Life”, releasing on May 25th, 2021. In this episode we discuss: 1) The difference between internal and external fulfillment. External fulfillment comes from outside of us and chasing monetary items or status in order to feel that fulfillment. Internal fulfillment comes from inside of ourselves. This was one of the most powerful lessons that Craig learned during his time in federal prison. 2) We always have a choice and learning how to own and exercise our choices is the path to our freedom. We can choose to change our story at any time. 3) Embracing vulnerability is the path to creating freedom. It can also lead us to the most incredible relationships and people who are meant to make a difference or an impact in our lives.

In this episode, Craig Stanland shares his story of how he landed in jail from living a luxurious life. I, Kevin investigate how Craig made himself grow back again and become a ray of hope for many others. Some of the major points discussed in this episode are laid out as follows: Learning to love: That's been an evolutionary practice for Craig. Once we realize that fear is an illusion, we can navigate much better. A gratitude practice can be unbelievably transformative when done consistently. It rewires the brain from scarcity to abundance. My previous life was based upon materialism: Craig. Everything is temporary. We grow up believing in lies. One of the biggest lies in the story of humanity is the ‘lie of our imperfection' or in other words ‘not being enough'. Sometimes just being okay is good enough. Losing my identity was really the crux of my journey: Craig. When you do keep your commitment to yourself, celebrate yourself. Quotes from the episode: Gratitude was one of the foundational practices that I began in prison that I still do to this day. I cannot express there's so much out there about gratitude and I feel like it's almost lip service at this point, with some of the content that is out there, but I have to reiterate how unbelievably transformative a gratitude practice can be when done consistently it rewires the brain from scarcity to abundance. When we're operating from a place of abundance, we can operate from a place of courage, we can face those fears, we can really start changing our lives and we don't look, it's so easy to spend so much time looking at what is missing, what is lacking, as opposed to spending time looking at what really is there and what we actually do have and that's what gratitude. ...our brain is actually wired for our success. So when you make and keep commitments and then you congratulate yourself for that, giving yourself a little bit of a shot of dopamine. So now the brain goes ooh that felt nice, I'd like a little bit more of that.

#155: Embracing Vulnerability with Craig Stanland Today we are speaking with Craig Stanland. Craig is a coach, a Reinvention Architect, the author of the soon to be published memoir, The Blank Canvas, and a highly sought after public speaker with a TEDx Talk titled, "How I Learned My Greatest Worth in Federal Prison." Craig's mission is to help people whose lives have fallen apart, who want to start over rebuild and reinvent themselves so they can have the extraordinary life they've always wanted. In this episode, we discuss: Craig's mantra is to live fully, connect deeply, and impact many. We talked ownership on all levels. Ownership is truly how you create freedom. Our greatest adversities become our greatest teachers when we become open to receiving the lessons. Finding our self-worth involves the ability to connect, love, and receive support from others. It involves expressing ourselves by being honest, practicing forgiveness, and self-compassion. The more we bottle up the shame, the more powerful shame becomes. The only way to release the shame is to build self-trust and that leads to allowing ourselves to embrace vulnerability. Our perspective determines our reality. Our stories can be the answers that others are looking for, and when we make our mission about others it helps us to move through and release our shame.

This week, Craig and Liz discuss the story we tell ourselves vs reality, and the limiting beliefs that dictate our lives as a result. How forgiving yourself requires vulnerability and honesty. In order to release the shame, speak those truths out loud, connect with other humans, and choose to commit to yourself fully. After a lifetime of negative self-talk and not keeping promises to yourself, this commitment is hard to keep, but the process is the reward. Celebrate your wins and keep going.
