Ep. 29 - From Prison to Purpose: Turning a 11.5-Year Sentence Into a Life of Impact with Brett Booker
What would you do if one decision changed the course of your entire life? Have you ever felt like your past disqualified you from a better future? Or wondered if it’s really possible to start over after you’ve hit rock bottom?
At just 20 years old, Brett Booker was sentenced to 11.5 years in prison. But his story isn’t about staying stuck in a system—it’s about defying the odds, reclaiming identity, and using rock bottom as a foundation for growth. In this episode, Brett walks us through his childhood, the choices that led him into drug dealing, and the life-altering moment everything came crashing down.
Now a coach and mentor helping others break free from their own strongholds, Brett shares what it looks like to start over when the world has already labeled you—and how to rewrite your story no matter where you’ve been. If you’ve ever struggled to believe that your past doesn’t define you, this conversation is your wake-up call. Brett doesn’t just talk about second chances—he lives it.
