“Send Coach John a message”Came across the gem that I plan on actually using later today when I go out to run some errands. It comes from TeacherGoals (@teachergoals) The intro they shared is: “Love this!” - “When you see something beautiful in someone, tell them.  It may take a second to say, but for them it could last a lifetime.”  This is so spot on. I've been trying to say things to people when I come across something that I see about them. Good service. A smile. An act of kindness that I witness them doing. A compliment to share with them. Etc., it's all something that the world needs more of. I need to hold myself accountable to do this when I go out later today.

“Send Coach John a message”Reading my every day Kindle post from John Maxwell's “Daily Reader” and this one hit home for today. It's all about "Ratchet Up Your Passion!” He starts out with a powerful question - What makes it possible for people who might seem ordinary to achieve great things?  The answer is passion.  He also shares 4 truths about passion.  One, Passion is the first step to achievement.  Two, Passion increases your Will-power.  Three, Passion changes you, and Four, Passion Makes the Impossible Possible!  This is something I tried to remind my students about all through my teaching career. It's something I remind myself about and other adults too - as it's a life-long quest to keep every day we have, somehow connected to things that we are fired up about.  All of this comes from John Maxwell's book, “The 21 Indispensable Qualities of a Leader.”  I am reminded to keep investing in myself and the things that light my soul on fire!  That's a powerful life if we can keep these things going!  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

Contributor: Alec Coston, MD Educational Pearls: BiPAP is often effective in severe asthma, but many patients struggle with mask tolerance due to intense air hunger–driven anxiety, often compounded by hypoxia. Benzodiazepines are commonly used for anxiety, but they can depress respiratory drive, making clinical improvement difficult to interpret (a lower RR may reflect sedation rather than true physiologic improvement). Low-dose fentanyl is a useful alternative when patients cannot tolerate BiPAP despite coaching. Opioids blunt the perception of dyspnea and are well established for treating air hunger. When carefully titrated, fentanyl provides anxiolysis without significant respiratory suppression. It is rapidly titratable (e.g., 25 mcg IV every 5 minutes). Evidence primarily comes from palliative and oncology literature, but growing clinical experience supports its use in severe asthma to improve BiPAP tolerance. Failure of fentanyl should prompt escalation to ketamine, often signaling impending need for intubation. References Pang GS, Qu LM, Tan YY, Yee AC. Intravenous Fentanyl for Dyspnea at the End of Life: Lessons for Future Research in Dyspnea. Am J Hosp Palliat Care. 2016 Apr;33(3):222-7. doi: 10.1177/1049909114559769. Epub 2014 Nov 25.

“Send Coach John a message”Found a fired up thought from Psyche Wizard (@PsycheWizard) where it's a simple & powerful reminder that I know I needed to see.  “Everything you do, comes back to you. Do good, be good.”  I need to keep doing good. Being good. Doing better. Be Better. In EVERY THING I DO! So much of my life is changing (heck, all life is changing, all the time, every single day).  But since I have a front row seat on my roller coaster in my life, these are the things I know I need to keep working on. Hopefully you see the opportunities to work on things while you are riding your roller coaster.  Remember how motivation is not permanent, that is why we need to keep working on it every day! This thought helps me for sure to do that and I  hope it offers you some help too.Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

“Send Coach John a message”Mondays are great days! Early on in my life, even before I became a teacher, I tried to have a special / different connection to Mondays compared to others. Today's Daily Thought is something that I feel super connected to.  From Deep Psychology (@DeepPsycho_HQ) comes this life gem: “Don't be impressed by money, followers, degrees and titles. Be impressed by kindness, integrity, humility and generosity.”  In today's world sadly, so many people are following  the first part of this. Also, the lies, greed, lack of character, lack of responsibility, blaming others, etc., that go along with this mindset. I know I'm trying to take on more of the second part of this along with; encouragement, love, empathy, character, etc., and so many other positive traits. Sad to say, I have friends and family that are living on the first part - the crumbling part of things in life as they think everything is about winning at all costs and mixing it with the political sess-pool of today. I'm reminding myself that I love them more than I hate the person(s) and things going on with them in our country today. I also know that I need to live my life, build my life and connect more of these building blocks that are built on character, truth, etc., with people and not just flap my gums at things. One of so many reasons why I really enjoy psychology, learning and reading books …. And I know I need to connect with this even more!!   Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

We should start a new political party entitled "We". It would be based on the premise that we should help and care for one another. We have rights to our privacy and our public life. We have responsibilities to ourselves and to others. We would try to turn paying taxes into a bragable activity.

“Send Coach John a message”Found a great post that I got some good reflections on. It came from Reads with Ravi (@readswithravi) where this was shared from James Clear: “Embrace the fact that life is continual and look for ways to enjoy the daily practice.”  What was meant by this was a bit more in depth that helped me really connect to it.  “Work is endless. Exercise is endless. Parenting is endless. Same with marriage, writing, investing, creating, and more. You get to choose the parts of your life, but many of the important things in life cannot be “finished.”  Do not approach and endless game with a finite mindset. The objective is not to be done, but to settle into a daily lifestyle you can sustain and that allows you to make daily progress in the areas that matter.  Embrace the fact that life is continual and look for ways to enjoy the daily practice.”  I love the thought of things in life not ever being finished - other than our last day. I challenge myself to keep learning new things every day I have.  You know, something just came to mind was Mitch Albom with his friend and producer, Lisa Goich - their recent “Tuesday People Podcast” (listen to it HERE) was all about changing our perspective of living each day as if it's our last and start living it as it can be our “first” of doing different things. Rather than focus on things we might lose or never have again, it's a unique mindset shift that I think connects with this post, where we keep looking to continue things and not have things that are finished. Cool stuff if you ask me. Very motivating to start changing my perspective. Hope it is for you too.   Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

“Send Coach John a message”I found another lesson from a former student of mine. Coach Ray Ostrowski (@CoachRayO3313) shared this gem with his introduction: “Why accept Acceptable when you're capable of Exceptional? Acceptable is ‘good enough' for some but never meets the minimum standard for Great. Take small steps daily that combat our natural instinct to be satisfied & tolerate ‘acceptable.”  I reposted this from him with my thoughts: “Great stuff @CoachRayO3313 … awesome reminder for life and for anyone open to paying attention.”  Today's episode came in my mobile studio because I wanted to get out to you as soon as I could.  Early this morning I had a dream and it got my day started in a direction of wanting to learn more, do more, and to keep getting things done.  It's all about “Acceptable vs. Exceptional” - “Why tolerate acceptable when you're capable of exceptional? This is something many wrestle with daily.  Greatness demands higher standards.  Acceptable is good enough for many - but not for the great.  Strive to develop the diligence, competitiveness, details, standards, routines, & expectations to become exceptional.  Good enough is the enemy of great.”  I hope this helps you see some things that you want to work on. Remember, there is not one way of being Exceptional. So many ways to fit it into the areas of life that we want it to be!!  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

“Send Coach John a message”Found another simple, yet emotional and meaningful reminder for me from the Power of Positivity (@LIVEpositivity)  where this truth was posted:  “Every day is another chance to change your life.” Within every day there are many moments too. I've been doing more and more reflecting in the mornings with my coffee. First, I'm reminding myself each morning how much I love mornings. Getting my day started with some prayer time, reading some devotions, other daily readings to not only get me started but also to keep me grounded too. Secondly, it gets my day going in a great direction for the things I want to do and need to do. With me trying to focus a bit more on intentionally focusing on making the most of more moments, it's been eye-opening for me to keep working this way. Also remind ourselves that these “changes” don't have to be huge. They don't have to be posted about on social media. We don't have to share them with others. We just have to put action behind them. Please - remember this thought and remember it's the moments to connect with that matter which make up our days.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

In this solo kickoff to 2026, Christina reflects on the creative resistance she's been feeling and how even positive routines, like her nearly six-year streak of daily walks, can start to create stagnation. A podcast reminded her that growth often requires breaking our own patterns. That insight collided with a pop-culture moment (yes, the Brooklyn Beckham drama) to spark a bigger conversation about how social media pressures us to perform, exaggerate, and air conflict publicly. Her takeaway: real alignment comes from personal responsibility, knowing what you stand for, and not feeling obligated to fight every battle for the sake of optics. If you enjoyed this episode, make sure and give us a five star rating  and leave us a comment on iTunes, Podcast Addict, Podchaser and Castbox about what you'd like us to talk about that will help you realize that at any moment, any day, you too can decide, it's your turn!

“Send Coach John a message”I found so many powerful posts today and I wanted to share this one with you first. Coming at you a little bit late in the day today, but sometimes “life” gets in the way a bit. So, I'm in the library studio today and getting some stuff done.  This comes from Curious Minds (@CuriousMindsHub) where this one hit me right between the eyes and I hope you connect with it too!  “It's time to get more aggressive about the life you want.”   It is time. Not just because it's late January of a new year, but it's because it's TODAY!  Today is the only time I can do something about this because that is the moment I'm in. Truthfully, it would have been really easy to stay at home.

The Unexpected Path to Cycling  Nathaniel's journey began on a small family farm in rural Oregon, where he faced significant challenges during his childhood. Struggling with family dynamics and a deep-seated desire for justice, he initially pursued a political career, enrolling in a prestigious liberal arts college. However, disillusionment with the political system led him to drop out and seek a new path. This pivotal moment was the catalyst for his life-changing adventure. After a transformative experience in nature with a friend, Nathaniel found himself on a one-way ticket to Europe with a bicycle, ready to embrace the unknown.Embracing Minimalism and the Vagabond Lifestyle  When Nathaniel and his friend set out on their bikes, they embraced a lifestyle of minimalism and spontaneity. With just a few changes of clothes and a commitment to living without money, they relied on the kindness of strangers. One innovative strategy they employed was the "Magic Note"—a simple piece of paper in various languages asking for food donations. This approach not only provided sustenance but also fostered deep connections with the communities they encountered.Life Lessons on the Road  Cycling through Europe, Nathaniel faced numerous challenges that tested his resilience. The duo often found themselves in unpredictable situations, relying on their instincts and the generosity of others. Nathaniel reflects on a particular mindset that guided their journey: to appreciate every moment as if it were the last while also embracing the wonder of new experiences. This perspective allowed them to engage fully with their surroundings.Wild Encounters and Unexpected Friendships Throughout their travels, Nathaniel experienced both the highs and lows of human interaction. One particularly harrowing experience involved a robbery in London, where a group of street kids took advantage of their hospitality. Despite the danger, Nathaniel managed to stand his ground, which ultimately led to an unexpected bond with another stranger—a former criminal who turned out to be one of the kindest individuals he had ever met. This contrast between danger and kindness underscored a vital life lesson: every experience is an opportunity for growth.Nathaniel Allenby's extraordinary journey is a testament to the power of adventure, resilience, and human connection. His experiences remind us that life is unpredictable, and embracing the unknown can lead to profound personal growth. The key takeaways from Nathaniel's story include the importance of living in the moment, the value of community and kindness, and the realization that every individual we meet has a unique story to tell. Whether through cycling or any other form of travel, Nathaniel's journey inspires us to seek our own adventures and embrace the beauty of life on the road.

“Send Coach John a message”Found another fabulous learning moment from The Mindfulness Meditation Institute (@TrainingMindful) and it's all about Learning! They shared this and it's 7 words long:  “Be open to learn, unlearn and relearn.”  Learning is something I know I want to do every single thing I can to keep learning things, picking up things and growing with those things I find. There is plenty I know I need to unlearn for sure. What I need to do is to make sure the things I relearn are good things. I know for sure that ALL OF US need to unlearn a lot of things (especially what is going on in our country, today of this recording 1-24-26) AND THEN, we need to relearn so many things that will be good for ALL OF US. The thing is, throughout ALL of history, humans have had trouble with things like how we treat each other. I think NOW is the time for us to learn and put into play these lessons. Come on people, we are smart enough to do that!!  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. ** 

“Send Coach John a message”Love finding things that help keep my soul on fire… these posts that I find are really things that fire me up! From Mindful Maven (@mindfulmaven_)  Its a reminder for all of us to “Trust the process. Always remember that… You can have the worst days of your life and a few weeks later you can have the best day of your life. Keep pushing through.”  This is something that hits me hard when I reflect on it - and truthfully I do have a bit more time to reflect now a days. It get me thinking about how proud of my little 8 year old self would be of my 59 year old self.  That 8 year old is part of me and has been since I was that age. I do have plenty to be proud of that I have pushed through and not given up. It helps me to also connect with Seek Wiser (@SeekWiser_) that shared this: “Hardest thing right now is, finding people with pure intentions”  Part of our process needs to keep focusing in doing the right thing. Not only for our lives and the people we love, but our communities / country / the world!  My little 8 year old self has been in the front row seeing all the good and bad I've done. I need to do more of what is right in living my life.

Milestones are like mountain peaks - they give us a sense of where we are. We locate ourselves in relationship to them. That is what birthdays, graduations, marriages, moves from place to place, job changes, and deaths are all about. Retirement has to be one of the more significant milestones we can experience in life.

Allie's dad, Ron Simmons, hosts this Saturday's episode of “Relatable,” breaking down the week's biggest stories with fatherly wisdom and calm clarity. He explores the Insurrection Act's history — from George Washington's Whiskey Rebellion response to its use by Lincoln, Eisenhower, and Kennedy — explaining why President Trump's potential invocation to protect ICE officers amid escalating Minnesota violence is legally justified and precedented. Ron contrasts Democrat outrage now with their past calls to remove Maduro, highlights the tragic ICE shooting of Renee Good, and addresses fraud, sanctuary policies, and lawlessness. He answers listener questions on faith, family, voting, housing, and more — plus his “Words from the Wagon” life lesson.

In this episode, Reggie takes us back to the Yard, the HBCU campus that raised him and shaped his early understanding of belonging, pride, and pain. He reflects on how a single comment, a crowded cafeteria, and a quiet conversation with his father became the foundation for learning to deal with difference, toughness, and hiding pain. What starts as joyful memories of summer sports, friendships, and growing up on campus shifts into a moment that permanently changes how he sees himself. This chapter examines where the armor was first worn and why it remained there for so long. Book TitleMUFUCKABook Chapter Chapter Two: The YardAudibleMUFUCKA on AudibleAmazonMUFUCKA on AmazonSupport the show

“Send Coach John a message”I used to run “2 for 1 Specials” with my students when I would find a great article for them to read and reflect on with their summary + opinions and thoughts. The special was that I counted it also for one of their weekly articles that they had to turn in as well. I'm just reconnecting to a past part of my life that I loved very much… teaching… but we go on with this episode description. I found two uplifting posts and both of them were re-tweeted (reposted) from Mark Hickie (@MPHickie) who is someone that I connect with a lot on social media. First he shared this clip from Mel Robbins (@MelRobbins) where she was interviewing Trent Shelton (@TrentShelton) - the reminder that Mark connected with this clip, is something similar to what I would say too:  “To anyone who needs to hear this -  If you feel like you've lost your way, please know that better days are coming, my friend. Don't give up.” Such a simple and heart-felt message for anyone and everyone that needs the reminder to just keep going!! The second connection also from Mark was a clip from Inky Johnson (@InkyJohnson) and Mark's summary:   “It's not what you do … it's who you are! It's how you operate… how you treat people! It's not what gets you there … it's what keeps you there!  Do what's right … not what's easy! It's how you life your life!”  I found it very interesting that these two came just about back to back in my feed this morning. Both messages are tied into lifting me up and encouraging me - which I'm finding I need every day! I hope these help you too!!  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

In this episode, I sit down with Krista, winner of the Jeffrey Award for Most Tragic FKT, to talk about what might be the happiest tragic FKT of all time. We start with the infamous double Tahoe Rim Trail effort, an adventure that was never officially recognized, never really meant to be an FKT, and somehow still earned an award. From there, the conversation spirals in the best possible way.We get into thru-hiking origins, trail names, COVID-era Appalachian Trail chaos, living in vehicles, selling bikes in Poland, walking across Europe, scary moments on trail, bear encounters, ultra running detours, and the strange emotional comedown that follows big goals. Krista is thoughtful, honest, funny, and self-aware in a way that makes this episode feel less like an interview and more like two people trying to understand why we keep choosing hard, inconvenient adventures.We also accidentally pitch a thru-hiker assisted living facility, question the economics of adventure, and agree that sometimes the process matters more than the recognition. This is one of those conversations that reminds me why I love long trails, long runs, and talking to people who are willing to build unconventional lives around curiosity and movement.Follow Krista on Instagra: https://www.instagram.com/kristafas/Chapters00:00 The Tragic FKT Award01:54 The Tahoe Rim Trail Experience03:50 Travel Adventures and Countries Visited06:52 Biking vs. Hiking: A Personal Preference09:52 The European Adventure: From Biking to Hiking12:44 Challenges and Changes in Travel Plans15:32 Scary Moments on the Trail18:29 The Journey of Thru-Hiking21:51 COVID-19 and the AT Experience25:45 The PCT and CDT: A New Chapter29:35 Post-Triple Crown Adventures31:35 Transitioning to Ultra Running32:56 The Journey into Ultra Running35:02 The Draw to Challenging Adventures37:12 Coping with Post-Trail Depression39:00 Living the Adventure Lifestyle42:01 Making Sacrifices for Adventure45:01 Life Lessons from Thru-Hiking50:33 Transformative Experiences in Nature53:38 Wildlife Encounters and Their Impact57:03 Innovative Ideas for the Future of Adventure01:02:59 Introduction to Outdoor Adventures01:03:28 Sponsorships and Support for the ShowSupport our Sponsors: Sawyer: https://sawyerdirect.net/Janji (code: Freeoutside): https://snp.link/a0bfb726CS Coffee: CSinstant.coffeeGarage Grown Gear: https://snp.link/db1ba8abSubscribe to Substack: http://freeoutside.substack.comSupport this content on patreon: HTTP://patreon.com/freeoutsideBuy my book "Free Outside" on Amazon: https://amzn.to/39LpoSFEmail me to buy a signed copy of my book, "Free Outside" at jeff@freeoutside.comWatch the movie about setting the record on the Colorado Trail: https://tubitv.com/movies/100019916/free-outsideWebsite: www.Freeoutside.comInstagram: thefreeoutsidefacebook: www.facebook.com/freeoutside#Trailrunning #Runningnews #Outdoors #Outdooradventure

Shawn Johnson shares his story of growing up in poverty in New Jersey, getting pulled into street life, and eventually joining the Bloods. He breaks down how a murder charge led to a 60-year sentence in New Jersey State Prison, what it took to survive nearly two decades behind bars, and how prison life reshaped him mentally and emotionally. Shawn also opens up about the long road to freedom, the legal fight for clemency, and what it meant to finally walk out of prison after 19 years, when he was granted clemency by the governor in 2025. _____________________________________________ #PrisonStories #TrueCrime #NewJerseyPrison #SurvivingPrison #LifeBehindBars #RealStories #CrimeDocumentary #youtubepodcast _____________________________________________ Thank you to PRIZEPICKS for sponsoring this episode: Visit https://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/IANBICK and use code IANBICK and get $50 in lineups when you play your first $5 lineup! _____________________________________________ Connect with Shawn Johnson: YouTube: Shawn Robert Johnson TikTok & Instagram: shawjohn1222 _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Shawn's Case Overview & What Led to 19 Years in Prison 02:22 Growing Up in New Jersey: Childhood & Early Influences 09:05 Juvenile Charges, Family Struggles & Early Warning Signs 18:00 From Trouble to the Streets: Choices That Changed Everything 24:45 The Incident, Arrest & Facing Serious Charges 36:13 Trial, Sentencing & Life in County Jail 43:41 Arriving in Prison: Survival, Routine & Reality Shock 48:01 Daily Life in Prison: Politics, Social Dynamics & Rules 55:04 Avoiding Trouble, Growing Up & Mental Survival 01:00:01 Appeals, Legal Setbacks & Holding Onto Hope 01:08:05 Rehabilitation, Programs & Preparing for Release 01:15:15 COVID in Prison & a Major Legal Turning Point 01:20:32 Clemency Explained: Application, Review & Approval 01:25:11 Coming Home After 19 Years in Prison 01:28:18 Life Lessons, Advice & Final Reflections Learn more about your ad choices.
