Summary
This week, I answer a listener's question on what they should say to their nephew who has been in prison for a decade. Most people in prison think so much about getting out, they don't know what to do when they finally are. • This leads to a huge amount of people who end up back in prison. • You can help them plan how they will achieve the life they want. • Let them know the opportunity they have to plan now, before they come back into society. Offer to be their life coach. • Let them know you're willing to help, but they have to want to improve. • They designed their life in a way that made them end up in prison, so they need guidance. • Urge them to change their mindset and send them impactful books to read. Let them know many people have successfully traveled the path that lies before them. • Tell them you see great hope in their future. • Starting from ground zero isn't easy, but it can be done. Tune in to hear the three books Andy recommends sending to someone in prison.
