Summary
The first time I was locked up, I realized that was one moment I wanted children.
The reason?
No one came to see me.
They didn't care.
But I knew if I had children, someone would've brought them to see their Dad.
When I was a kid, I had a step-dad and he did a lot of things good and some not so good, but I learned from him.
I learned the kind of Dad I would want to be for my children. The kind of dad I needed.
This episode is about the importance of Dads.
Over the years, the divorce rate has risen and back when divorce was not acceptable, couples stayed together.
A 25-year study was done and it was discovered that out of the all the people who had been married, the children who had both parents faired better in life over time.
The next most successful group were the ones that had their Dads.
But many people were not allowed to just live with their Dads. The judges, and the system have been designed to tear children from their mothers.
Why?
Because in the absence of a father, a home becomes weaker.
The individual members become dependent on outside influences and forces.
The government.
School system.
Other parents.
If lucky, the Father's may get 2 hours a week and then every other weekend to visit their children.....
I'll share this with you........
Children need their Dads.
Stop believing a system that is not concerned with you or your family unit.
Fight to be in your children's lives.
Show them you care.
That's the way you beat a system trying to keep you separated from your children.

| 0:24.8 | Facebook memory came up two or three days ago, and it was the first picture I took when I got out of prison on July 15th, 2008. |
| 0:35.3 | I'd been locked up in federal prison for 13 months, and my whole world had really fallen apart, |
| 0:40.8 | y'all. I had made my first million in 2005. The police raided my house. I went through a battle of |
| 0:48.2 | massive depression. Luckily, that led me to the Lord, which saved my life still today, |
| 0:53.3 | was the greatest thing that could have happened to me. And then going to prison, I had time to study the Bible and get to know the Lord in my own special way, which I believe is how all of us should know the Lord. But when I got to prison, I realized the one thing missing from my life was that I didn't have any kids. And up into that point, I didn't want kids. But I realized one thing, nobody's going to come see me in this penitentiary. But if I had kids, they would. And I don't say that because I want to go back to the prison to make my kids visit me. It's just that if I had kids, somebody would have brought my kids to see me. And what I mean by that is like, you don't know this unless you've been locked up, |
| 1:28.6 | but you find out who's really there for you. And I realize that maybe kids are the only thing |
| 1:34.2 | that is 100% committed only there for me. And I'm missing that. Now, I was adopted and my stepdad |
| 1:40.1 | wasn't the best example of a father. He did some things right. He did a lot of things wrong, |
| 1:44.9 | but I learned lessons from both of them later on, what I did and didn't like and what I'll do to my kids and not. And I picked up some of his bad habits too. I got to just be real with that, which I see myself acting like him sometimes like motherfucker, right? But I knew that I wanted to be the dad that I never had. Well, flash forward the other day, |
| 2:02.6 | I see a TED talk with a lady and she's talking about these kids that were studied over 25-year |
| 2:07.6 | period of time. And they all started with two parents together. And over the course of 25 years, |
