Drew Wilson was born and raised in Cottonwood, California. He grew up in a home that was safe and stable with two parents who with nothing but good intentions almost loved him too much. Protecting Drew from ever experiencing consequences on a small scale when the stakes were low ended up having serious consequences in the long run. Listen as Drew shares a cautionary tale for all of us and as he tells how taking accountability, changing his attitude, and finally finding his own self-worth out of prison and into an incredible, successful life.
