John Byers was sentenced to prison in his 20s for essentially the rest of his life for drug conspiracy after dropping out of college to sell cocaine. He had never drank or done drugs, yet was the first federal trail in Indiana in 1998. He speaks to his journey that "your desire to grow must be larger than your obstacles" and “keep working and never give up.” He shares his journey before, during, and after his time in prison which surprisingly ended early. This includes spiritual and cultural experiences being Muslim, love for money, angered grief to transformative knowledge and patience. After being released early he went to hair school to pass time, but now loves being a hair stylist!
