There was a time in his life when Dan was in a pretty

difficult situation. He was facing something that most people don’t ever haveto go through.

 

Even though he was not a violent person, and he certainly

was not any kind of career criminal, he made a bad decision and accepted a jobthat, looking back, he never should have taken. But he did. And that lead himto the tough spot he found himself in.

 

Dan was headed to prison. His plea deal meant he could get

up to 60 months. 5 years of his life.

 

One of the things he found to be the most stressful was that

he had no idea what to expect.

 

Now we fast forward to today, and Dan is at a very different

place in his life. A much better, happier place. He runs a very successfulbusiness, working as a Prison Consultant.

 

When non-violent, first-time offenders are suddenly faced

with the fact that they’re going to do time in prison, they are desperate foranswers and guidance. What to expect, how to prepare, how to get your timereduced, how to interact with the other inmates, and Dan helps with all ofthat.

 

In our conversation, Dan told me all about his own

experience – what he did that earned him that prison time, what his first daywas like (which is actually a pretty hilarious story in itself), and how heshortened his own time. And he told me how he helps people today. Imagine ifyou’ve never even been arrested before, but you make a stupid decision, or youdrive drunk and kill someone, or whatever – and you’re headed to prison. Danknows exactly how you feel, and he has the answers you’re looking for.

 

Also – this is a Flashback episode. Dan came on the podcast

back in 2020, and I recently had a conversation with him, which you’ll hear atthe end of this episode. Since his original episode, he’s been through somestuff that I never would have predicted.
