Today we sit down with a gentleman who lived a lifetime before finding himself incarcerated for his gang-related activity. Joey Vargas Zapata grew up in the American midwest and despite all of the efforts of the people in his life to keep him out of trouble, he always found some. He ended up finding himself in jail for selling drugs, in a misguided effort to help his father and after 5 years inside, he came out and knew there was more for him in this life.
He is a certified life coach, recovery specialist, husband, father and grandfather who shares his story through podcasting, written works and public speaking. He has dedicated his life to at-risk youth and breaking the cycle of violence and poverty.
His story is raw and unfiltered, but that is the only way he knows how to tell it. Please join us!
