The conversation flowed into fitness, where Peter stressed the significance of strategic workouts, moving away from heavy lifting, and adopting high-intensity training. He opened up about his routine, mixing strength and cardio, while acknowledging the mental health benefits of pushing himself physically.   Diving into coaching strategies, Peter suggested focusing on exercises with a lower risk of injury for virtual clients, incorporating cables and emphasizing good form. He also touched upon his newfound appreciation for meal prep, urging people to simplify their diets by outsourcing nutrition through reliable meal delivery services.

Peter Myerhoff AKA Chappy Once lost in the grips of hard drugs during his teenage years, Peter Meyerhoff's choices led him down a path of car thefts, burglaries, and eventually, a 12-year incarceration sentence. Inside the prison walls, he was ensnared by the intricate web of prison politics, eventually rising to a position of influence as a shot-caller. Yet, amidst the chaos of violence and addiction, Peter found himself in solitary confinement for the concluding 11 months of his term. Upon his release, Peter chose transformation over regression. Channeling the resilience and mental fortitude he honed in isolation, he now stands as a best-selling author, riveting motivational speaker, and inspiring podcaster. As the proud owner of a sobriety-focused clothing brand and the innovative mind behind a prison curriculum app, Peter is dedicated to uplifting those battling addiction and reducing recidivism rates.  Above all, he is a testament to the infinite possibilities that await when one harnesses unwavering drive and embraces a life without excuses. Today, besides his professional achievements, Peter cherishes his roles as a devoted husband and father. We dive into his story from everyday athlete to drug-addict to prison and back.

He aims to motivate people, help people get sober, and change the recidivism rate.   Key Highlights: [00:01 - 05:10] Opening Segment ●        Peter started his life story with a successful childhood until his life changed when he entered high school. ●        He got involved in criminal activities such as stealing cars and breaking into houses to support their drug use. ●        At 18, Peter was falsely accused of stealing $155,000 worth of jewelry and given a 12-year prison sentence for a non-dangerous burglary, which was blamed for influencing other juveniles to commit the crime. [05:11 - 16:10] How Peter Became a Shot Caller ●        Peter talks about how his mindset had shifted after being behind bars for so long. ●        He tells about his life of being in prison and how he gained respect from other prisoners. ●        OGs called Peter “Chappy” in prison because he was addicted to Chapstick.  [16:11 - 22:27] The Prison System ●        Peter is seen as a tough guy who ran yards in jails, leading to people talking about him as tough. ●        Being in solitary confinement taught him mental strength, and he wants to help others do the same by developing a new prison curriculum. ●        Peter talks about getting in trouble while he is in prison, like stuff that wasn't allowed, fancy shoes, and sunglasses that cause him to stay longer in prison due to tickets.

His parents put him in sports and catholic school, and he received straight A's. Everything in his world started to change by the age of 13. His father left, his mother went into a deep depression, and his teenage sister got pregnant at 16. By the time Carlos was 14, life at home became so unbearable, he ran away. Carlos started off living in the streets, he joined a gang, became addicted to drugs, and committed himself to a life of crime.   At 16 his best friend killed himself in front of him while they played a game of Russian roulette. That caused Carlos to develop PTSD and become even more violent and destructive. At 19, Carlos was arrested after being hunted down by US Marshalls, and received 20 years in prison for armed  robbery. It was on a trip to solitary confinement that ultimately sparked transformation in his life.  He went on to finish High School, then college, graduating with a 3.8 GPA in both Psychology, and Liberal Arts. He also earned Certificates in Entrepreneurship, Public Speaking, and Mentorship. His last four years incarcerated were spent organizing and teaching life changing workshops within the prison. He paroled on June 25, 2021 after serving 17 years.  Today, Carlos is the founder and CEO of How to Battle: Coaching for Conquering Self-doubt and Building Confidence.   You could say Peter Meyerhoff had the world in his palm as a kid, from athletics, modeling, and even starring in a movie.  In high school, he began using drugs, starting with just weed, before turning to hard drugs.

Peter “Chappy” Meyerhoff sits down with Megan Racer. As Megan tells her story, she paints a picture of a girl, barely an adult, who relied on others—particularly the men she dated—for validation and a sense of identity. She entered relationships for the type of lifestyle they could afford her, not for the love she could share with her partner.Finally unable to keep up appearances, Megan quit her job and, with no options left, jumped on an opportunity offered by her dope dealer, which involved her driving to and from Mexico to do odd jobs for the cartel—with her two kids in the backseat on each and every single trip.It was a short-lived gig. Megan was finally arrested at the border with 89 pounds of methamphetamine in the back of her truck, and she was separated from her children. She was able to sign a plea and took a lesser charge of distribution.Megan spent 14 months in prison—living out those months on the same grounds she toured when she was in college—and spent the next year in a drug program, where she was completely determined to change for the better.Today, Megan works in recovery, and she loves every second of it. Megan closes the conversation this way:Topics Discussed:[01:38] Megan's backstory and when she began experimenting with drugs[11:40] Living with addiction while pregnant[15:35] Becoming sober and having her second child with the same man[19:35] Quitting her job amid her renewed drug addiction[25:27] Working with the cartel[30:35] Getting arrested at the border[37:27] The days leading up to prison[51:29] Life in prison[1:00:48] Working in recovery after prison[1:06:35] Megan's words of hope for those in prison todayConnect with Megan Racer:LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/megan-racer-a82720224Instagram -Connect with Peter Meyerhoff:Website: https://petermeyerhoff.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/peter_meyerhoff/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Peter-Meyerhoff/100008245219126/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@theoriginalchappy?lang=enYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpa6ABvtPcSSwM2LJvuLv0wKey Quotes:My relationships were always about getting the lifestyle I want. It was never, “What kind of love can this person give me?” It was more about, “What empty feelings could I fulfill?”After they interrogated me, put me back in the cell and closed the door, I never felt more free in my life. Seriously. It was done. The madness—the chaos—was done.We have such an advantage. We know the depths of hell, and we know the peaks of what it could look like. There's nothing we have not seen. There's nothing we cannot go through. We've already experienced something we didn't think we could go through and made it out as better people.Can you go through the worst situation of your life and become a better person? If you can, you'll find the most success in the world, and it might not be monetary, but it will be internal, and you will spread it to other people. I 100% believe that.

Tune in as we hear Peter's story of prison, and how he turned his Trials, into his Triumphs.  Let us know in the comments what YOU want to hear about next!  About our Guest:  You could say he had the world in his palm as a kid, from athletics, modeling, and even starring in a movie.  In high school, he began using drugs, starting with just weed, before turning to hard drugs. His life spiraled downhill extremely fast, from stealing cars to robbing houses. He got arrested multiple times. Eventually, he was sent to prison for 12 years, at the age of 18, and didn't get out until after his 30th birthday.  Peter ended up getting swallowed up by prison politics and by the end of it, was the "Shot Caller" in there. He gained his success from transferring his pains from prison, to drive for success out in the world.  He made a couple million dollars his first 5 years out of prison, with only an 8th grade education. He started his podcast to help motivate people, as well as telling his story across prisons and jails across the country, and he now owns a sober clothing company.  Peter's goals now are to motivate people when he speaks, using the mental strength he acquired in solitary confinement, helping people get sober, and change the recidivism rate, by showing people what's really possible with the right drive and no excuses. History has a way of repeating itself but with his guidance and experiences he's helping the younger generation not go through the rough pitfalls of life.  Follow and contact: petermeyerhoff.com  Insta: @peter_meyerhoff  Podcast: Roll Call With Chappie

Star Power The Elites, along with Mario's own music, has the newer generations squarely in mind. He believes that it is important for the youth to have role models, and so he makes it a point to avoid profanity in his music. Truly dedicated to paying it forward, he is involved with a number of local initiatives outside of his art, including fundraisers and toy drives.Mario grew up living a “double life” and, as a teenager, he had no aspirations besides accumulating money and earning respect on the street. It was only when his son was born later on when Mario realized that he needed to live for people other than himself.While working at AT&T one day, he was offered an opportunity to work for free at a local gym. Motivated by opportunity, he made the jump and eventually bought that same gym. He began networking and enjoying a new lease on life defined by service to others.All that time, Mario was still sleeping on an air mattress in an empty home, squeezing in whatever time he had left over to continue building his career as a rapper and actor.Mario goes on to share how he finally found that momentum that allowed him to share the stage with industry legends (Twista and Bow Wow among them), while building a number of successful businesses all the while. He preaches gratitude, honesty, and being unashamed about wanting more out of life while never forgetting to thank God for the gifts one is currently enjoying.Connect with Mario Canon: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thisiscanon/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/OfficalMarioCanon/ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/0SmSbCbvt5z1zST9lfvNR2?autoplay=true YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1lMQuZ_unTndaVwXTgSd6g YouTube Music: https://music.youtube.com/channel/UCCyR1qhmIye2Lb-S7GcCESA Twitter: https://mobile.twitter.com/thisiscanon Connect with Peter Meyerhoff:Website: https://petermeyerhoff.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/peter_meyerhoff/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Peter-Meyerhoff/100008245219126/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@theoriginalchappy?lang=enYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpa6ABvtPcSSwM2LJvuLv0wTopics Discussed: [02:13] Mario's backstory and early struggles[12:05] Building his music and acting career[14:39] How Mario got the opportunity to work with Twista and other big names[22:08] Why Mario doesn't regret the many challenges he had to face in his past[24:09] Rubbing shoulders with even more celebrity rappers as an independent artist[28:05] Waking up grateful, everyday[32:35] What music means to Mario[34:59] Mario's goals for 2022[36:19] Mario's advice to those struggling right now

In 1999, Dan got his start in business in his late teens by investing $43,000 in savings, which he was “supposed” to use for college, to start his own clothing brand Who's Your Daddy. At 18 years old, the business cracked $1 million, and at 19, it reached $9.5 million. At 23, he took Who's Your Daddy public relaunched as an energy drink brand under the same name—making Dan the youngest owner of a publicly-traded company in history.In 2008, a decade after founding his first business, Dan tried his hand at creating an online poker site. It was short-lived; yet, Dan points to that first true failure in his career as being key to all of the wins he continued to experience moving forward.Now with multiple massive business successes under his belt, Dan has a powerful desire to pay it forward. His philanthropic initiatives include a venture to backpacks for the homeless, as well as Thanksgiving food drives. He says that his ultimate dream is to save the world, not for any sort of recognition, but so that other people become inspired by his example and replicate what he was able to accomplish.Dan closes the conversation talking about the mental and tactical secrets to connecting and collaborating with high-profile individuals, and how anybody regardless of their age or background can get unstuck and pursue their true calling in life today.Topics Discussed:[01:37] Dan's backstory and early business success[05:22] Starting an online poker site at 27 (and losing it overnight)[10:54] Dealing with his first major business failure[12:58] How Dan uses social media for business[17:18] Working with the Kardashians and the power of collabs[22:53] Dan's philanthropic initiatives[30:28] Dan's goal to save the world and other projects[35:05] Finding work-life balance[38:30] How to connect and collaborate with high-profile individuals[40:58] How to get unstuckConnect with Dan Fleyshman:LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/victoryceo/Instagram - (@danfleyshman) - https://www.instagram.com/danfleyshman/Instagram - (@modelcitizenfund) - https://www.instagram.com/modelcitizenfund/Elevator Studio - https://elevator.studio/Book: How to Set-Up Your Personal Brand for Under $1,000 - https://buythisbook.com/Connect with Peter Meyerhoff:Website: https://petermeyerhoff.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/peter_meyerhoff/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Peter-Meyerhoff/100008245219126/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@theoriginalchappy?lang=enYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpa6ABvtPcSSwM2LJvuLv0wKey Quotes:The bad things that happened literally forged who I am as a person.I want to save the world.

Peter “Chappy” Meyerhoff sits down with ex-con filmmaker Seth Ferranti.A military brat, Seth was into drugs at the ripe young age of 13. At age 19 in high school, he had built an empire, supplying around 15 colleges across five states. In 1991, he became one of the first targets in the expanded war on drugs. He was initially arrested on the state level for “conspiracy to distribute LSD”. But upon discovering his extensive, nationwide network, he was reindicted at the federal level with a Continuing Criminal Enterprise (CCE) charge.Seth decided to fake his suicide in order to avoid jail time and moved to L.A. to lay low until all was forgotten. However, y then, he was one of the U.S. Marshals' 15 Most Wanted Fugitives and it was quickly discovered that his “suicide” was a hoax. He was incidentally arrested when a shop owner called the cops after finding Seth and a friend smoking a joint behind his property, and in three days, the police matched Seth's prints.At 23 years old, Seth was sentenced to 25 years.Determined to move past this period in his life as fast as he could, Seth found refuge in education. His love for writing and studying brought him a surprising amount of success while in prison: Seth earned three college degrees, including a Master's, wrote 22 books on gangsters, drug lords, and prison gangs, and, alongside his wife, founded a publishing house and website, Gorilla Convict, and started a career as a journalist writing for VICE, Penthouse, and others.After being released he started making films. In 2017, Seth wrote and produced White Boy, which is currently on Netflix. He currently has numerous projects in production and development.Topics Discussed: [00:18] Seth's story[07:12] Losing his empire and going to prison[12:15] Faking his own death[21:25] Getting sentenced to 25 years at 23 years old[25:28] Graduating with a Master's and starting a writing career behind bars[40:37] Writing for VICE in prison and working with his wife to found Gorilla Convict[49:08] Making films after his release from prison[56:41] Seth's current projectsConnect with Seth Ferranti: Website: https://www.gorillaconvict.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sethferranti/?hl=en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SethFerrantiOfficial/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/sethferranti?lang=en YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_PX5yFrMT-hm_xGQMyMU0w LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/seth-ferranti-90a59440/ Connect with Peter Meyerhoff:Website: https://petermeyerhoff.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/peter_meyerhoff/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Peter-Meyerhoff/100008245219126/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@theoriginalchappy?lang=enYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/chann

Peter jokingly told me that after spending 12 years in prison from age 18 to 30, he came back into the world at a position of less that zero because he had nothing and was a x-con. Peter described to me his tipping point was when he overdosed, died and through a miracle was brought back to life. When his eyes reopened, he decided in that moment "no more excuses" and started his journey from Rags To Riches. Peter was very open about his journey and the secrets he used to bring about his transformation from having less than zero to running with big influencers and creating the Good Life.

Tommy Vext wouldn't be alive today were it not for grace — and a phone call. The heavy metal singer and songwriter was poised to throw himself in front of a train when a young kid in the throes of addiction reached out for help. That one decision — to answer his phone and step up as a sober brother — saved Tommy's life and kept the former lead vocalist for Bad Wolves on a path that today serves as an inspiration to everyone who comes into contact with him and his message. This episode of the Roll-Call with Chappy podcast unspools a career and life trajectory like none other — from unimaginably low lows to a life full of personal and professional highs; from multiple near-death experiences to transcendent peace and inspiration within his recovery.Host Peter “Chappy” Meyerhoff takes Tommy through an amazing set of life milestones. You'll hear about the traumatic childhood roots that shaped the life of Thomas Cummings, who grew up a biracial New York kid in a home dominated by addiction and mental illness. Their conversation touches on the emotional toll that violence took on Tommy's family — and the powerful ways in which 12-step recovery ultimately transformed his life, as well as his loved ones'. He has gone from being a young boy powerless to protect his mom, to buying her the safe, comfortable home in which she lives her life today, supporting others through her work with AlAnon.It's all about breaking the cycle, showing up and doing the work. “We're not in the results business. We're in the work business. We try to show up and do what's right and wonderful things happen,” says Tommy, who has 37 songs ready for release, a forthcoming biography and plans to tour internationally. You'll appreciate Tommy's brutal honesty about the fear, pain and loss he suffered repeatedly coming up — even as he somehow resisted relapse. Whether confronting his brother's homicidal mania or working with musicians who don't share his ethos, Tommy explains why nothing shakes his bedrock of 13 years' sobriety: “There are no mistakes in God's world.”Connect with Tommy Vext:Website - https://www.tommyvextofficial.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/freetommyvext/Facebook -Twitter - https://twitter.com/TVext?ref_src=twsrc^google|twcamp^serp|twgr^authorYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/TheLoneWolfMusicSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/artist/2eaZxHkhdNugJwlaKQWewj?si=70CnalImQ_a0u0NH82NASw&nd=1Apple Music - https://music.apple.com/us/artist/tommy-vext/968802571Connect with Peter Meyerhoff:Website: https://petermeyerhoff.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/peter_meyerhoff/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Peter-Meyerhoff/100008245219126/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@theoriginalchappy?lang=enYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpa6ABvtPcSSwM2LJvuLv0w

His life spiraled downhill extremely fast and got arrested multiple times, from stealing cars to robbing houses.

Peter “Chappy” Meyerhoff sits down with Carlos Vasquez. The two met not long after Carlos was released from prison six months prior to this conversation.As a child, Carlos dreamed of becoming a baseball player, and he had a seemingly picture-perfect Catholic upbringing. Everything changed around the time he turned 13 when he discovered that his father had a secret family. Almost without warning, his dad abandoned his real family to be with them, forcing Carlos's mom to take on three jobs to support her children. Not long after that, his 16-year-old sister became pregnant, and Carlos himself hit the streets.He was quickly initiated into the gang life and committed his first crime—armed robbery—at the age of 15 and, at 18, he was faced with a 20-year sentence with two strikes. Now suicidal and thinking he would never leave that place, Carlos went to prison with the intention of “being the craziest person that anybody has ever seen.”13 years into his sentence, however, his life took a dramatic turn. He recalls being in the hole, totally alone with his own thoughts, and asking himself the question, “I've made it this far and I'm still alive. Why am I not dead? Maybe I need to do it.”He mulled over that thought for the next few days until he and a chaplain crossed paths. He offered Carlos a Bible, which he proceeded to read cover-to-cover. Around the same time, he received a letter from a friend who had just received a 110-year sentence. That friend was 15 years old, and it was partly due to Carlos's influence that he went down a similarly dark path.That was the final straw for Carlos. He committed—to God and to himself—that he was going to change. He decided to take back control of his life. At the same time, he believes that God led him to become a role model for men and boys who are currently going through the same dark phase he did.In Carlos's own words: “Something told me: ‘You're not supposed to just walk away. You're supposed to put yourself back in that place and help change the culture. Use your influence. Use your leadership and communication skills to help these guys find the inspiration to change.'”Topics Discussed[01:41] Carlos's story[05:29] How Carlos ended up in prison for the first time[07:32] Carlos's mindset going into prison[11:22] Surviving prison life for 20 years[13:04] What led Carlos to give up the gang life[17:17] Carlos's challenging path forward as a new man[26:17] How Carlos was feeling as he was released and his first days out of prison[31:29] About Carlos's work with the Prep Foundation[36:31] Carlos's message to his younger self[42:22] What's next for Carlos?[46:26] Speaking to former fellow inmates 100 days after Carlos's release[48:51] Carlos's final message of hopeConnect with Carlos Vasquez:Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/carlos_s_vasquez/?hl=enInstagram partnershipforreentryprogram - https://www.instagram.com/partnershipforreentryprogram/?hl=enConnect with Peter Meyerhoff:Website: https://petermeyerhoff.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/peter_meyerhoff/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Peter-Meyerhoff/100008245219126/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@theoriginalchappy?lang=enYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpa6ABvtPcSSwM2LJvuLv0w

Peter “Chappy” Meyerhoff sits down with DJ Cruse, who works for the Arizona Department of Corrections, Rehabilitation and Reentry as a Program Project Specialist II.Since he was a boy, DJ had an unquenchable fascination with the military and envisioned a career for himself in the Armed Forces, where he would become a Green Beret and, once he had accomplished all he could with the Army, join the police force and lead SWAT in a major city.When he was a kid, DJ's love for adventure first led him to join the Boy Scouts. To anyone from the outside looking in, the young DJ seemed to be on a bright and promising path. And he was—until his insatiable curiosity and openness to new experiences nudged him down a dark detour towards the dangerous world of drugs, alcohol, and gangs. He was only 12 years old when that downward spiral began.DJ landed in prison for the first time as a ninth grader, where he spent the next six months getting into fights with his fellow inmates and essentially doing everything that didn't involve learning from his mistakes. He picked up right where he left off once he was out, and would later find himself behind bars once again. That next sentence would last 170 months, or just over 14 years.It was on December 14, 2017 when DJ regained his freedom. He was still a lost, scared, and unstable mess of a man, but he was determined to make a change. Sometime following his release, he was invited by a friend to a local church where he was quite literally floored by the presence of God. He also underwent rehab, which finally allowed him to come to terms with who he had become over the past three decades, and from there he would chart a new course.Today, DJ's life is defined by giving back, 24/7. Not only does he now work for the Department of Corrections, but he has also partnered with the ministry IdentiFreed, whose purpose is to “spread the gospel to the church, recovery, homeless and incarcerated community and to the nations on a global scale.”Topics Discussed:[02:03] DJ's story[06:18] Getting introduced to drugs in the sixth grade and his first time in prison[13:25] DJ's odd jobs following his release from prison[17:51] DJ's transformation[22:25] What DJ does for a living today[27:35] A life of giving back, 24/7[36:46] How Chappy and DJ's stories have impacted their community[43:26] DJ's parting message to moms and dads who need a piece of hopeConnect with DJ Cruse:Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/davidcruse139/?hl=enFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/david.cruse.39904Connect with Peter Meyerhoff:Website: https://petermeyerhoff.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/peter_meyerhoff/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Peter-Meyerhoff/100008245219126/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@theoriginalchappy?lang=enYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpa6ABvtPcSSwM2LJvuLv0wKey Quotes:[My transformation] was nothing short of a miracle and I give it all up to God. I say Jesus knocked me out and woke me up. ~DJIf you go to the Department of Corrections in any state, you have basically faced the worst thing that America has to throw at you. We were ostracized and kicked out of the community—for good reason—and bagged and tagged and cuffed and stuffed, and sent out to live in cages like some dogs. ~DJConnect

This episode I have an explorative and deep convo with Peter Meyerhoff, host of the podcast Roll Call with Chappy. I met Peter at the Turning Point USA Convention in Phoenix, we clicked immediately and chatted briefly about his episode on the show “I Was A Teenage Felon” on Vice TV, and his story absolutely blew my mind from start to finish! I am honored to have him on the show to talk about his amazing life story through all the ups and downs he's experienced. As a kid, he had the world in his palm so to speak… it changed rather quickly due to drug abuse and a reckless criminal lifestyle. From a model, movie gig and star athlete… 18 year old Peter found himself in the most unfortunate position of facing 12 years in state prison.   We get into a full range of topics primarily surrounding Peters Meyerhoff's journey through life and diving into the specifics such as…   His upbringing and family… specific events that led him to his 12 year sentencing… what life was like in prison for “Chappy”… his nickname he was rewarded in prison… we explain that as well haha... his struggles inside the bars and his struggles when he finally got outside of them… abusing alcohol and nearly dying from a drug overdose… which changed his life once and for all… he commitment to get and STAY SOBER… we further discuss how he emerged from the darkness and became a multi-millionaire within 5 years after getting out of prison…  but end up dropping that career to chase even deeper and more meaningful dreams and aspirations… like his podcast, his SOBRLIFE clothing line and Application which will help people in recovery with sobriety… and he is also taking his own curriculum to jails and prisons to help inmates find the same success that he found even when it seemed his whole world was against him.    Oh and briefly some politics here and there and at the end of course…   Here are some links to peep... if you are interested in learning more about Chappy and his incredible cause…   Website/Clothing Brand:   https://petermeyerhoff.com/   Apple Podcast:   https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/roll-call-with-chappy/id1588752790   YouTube:   https://youtube.com/channel/UCpa6ABvtPcSSwM2LJvuLv0w    Enjoy.

Chappy kicks things off by offering a perspective shift by bringing up his wholehearted belief that “your worst day out on the street is a hundred times better than your best day in prison.”“To get a different perspective,” he continues, “you've got to look at somebody who has a worse situation than you.”Chappy goes on to share how he had to rewire his brain the second he was released from prison. He talks about all the people around him who had to remind him that, in the real world, threatening others, asserting your dominance, and everything else that was acceptable—expected, even—in the prison yard is completely off-limits outside those walls.Taylor and Chappy close out the show with a discussion on making an impact. With a little faith, a focus on keeping things in perspective, and constantly reminding yourself that everyone has a purpose, seemingly insignificant decisions will result in a life full of blessings not only for you, but for everyone that you touch.Topics Discussed: Taylor's backgroundLessons about bouncing back that Taylor learned from the podcastWhat Chappy told himself when he was sent to prison at the age of 18What Chappy would tell someone on their first and last day in prisonWhy Chappy was so calm when he was convictedChappy's ultimate goal in his life's “third act”Getting through solitary confinementChappy's last year in prisonAdjusting to life fresh out of prisonHow Chappy manages his angerHow to raise your self-confidenceChappy's prison workoutsMaking an impact after prisonConnect with Guest: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.brutefit/Connect with Peter:Website: https://petermeyerhoff.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/peter_meyerhoff/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Peter-Meyerhoff/100008245219126/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@theoriginalchappy?lang=enYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpa6ABvtPcSSwM2LJvuLv0wKey Quotes:Fitness can not only build your self-confidence, but also relieve stress and make you not do stupid things or say mean things because, by the time I'm done doing cardio, I'm ready for a nap. ~ChappyYour worst day out on the street is a hundred times better than your best day in prison. ~ChappyWhatever [your] situation is, that problem is miniscule compared to what you can accomplish if you literally just wake up and you're thankful. ~TaylorTo get a different perspective, you've got to look at somebody who has a worse situation than you. ~ChappyEverybody's got a purpose in this world and everybody's good at something. ~Chappy

Peter “Chappy” Meyerhoff sits down with the love of his life, Hannah Keller.The two first crossed paths in the gym and it wasn't long before both knew that there was something more at play. Chappy was completely taken aback upon learning that Hannah was, at the time, a stripper. But then he witnessed the deep love and affection she had for her two little girls and knew right away that there was more than meets the eye.“Money can't buy happiness, but it can relieve a lot of stress as a single mom,” says Hannah, reflecting on the tough circumstances that led to her becoming a stripper.Like Chappy, Hannah's early life was filled with tragedy, from divorced parents to a brother dying in a car crash when she was ten, to a grandfather who committed suicide right in front of his wife, to another two siblings dying from drug overdoses.Hannah points to her little girls as her catalyst for turning her life around. “I know that God did that for a reason. Those little girls saved my life. They did. The only reason I'm here right now is because of them.”Chappy and Hannah go on to talk about how they progressed through their relationship, especially during those challenging early days when Hannah had to deal with a drug relapse. They also discuss the exciting possibilities for the future as opportunities continue to come their way.Topics Discussed: [02:51] How Chappy and Hannah met[05:24] Hannah's background as a stripper[11:35] Hannah's tragic upbringing[22:10] The destructive power of drugs[31:46] The poem that Hannah's sister for her late brother wrote just before her death[34:22] The latest chapter in Chappy and Hannah's lives[42:01] Going through therapy together[49:57] Chappy's biggest fearConnect with Hannah Keller:Instagram @hannahmkeller TikTok Hannah.M.KellerConnect with Peter Meyerhoff:Website InstagramFacebookTikTokYouTubeKey Quotes:[My] little girls saved my life.
