Welcome back to the School of Greatness. We have a very special episode with two inspiring men,

with two different yet very similar stories, Shaka Senor and Christian Howes, two men who learned

how to rewrite their story and find purpose after time spent in prison.

Shaka is a New York Times bestselling author,

internationally recognized speaker,

and leading voice on resilience and redemption.

Christian Howes is my brother.

He is an award-winning jazz violinist,

a composer, an educator,

and an inspiring teacher.

Today, they're going to share their stories. For anyone who's

feeling trapped physically, mentally, emotionally, or spiritually, and you feel like you can't

break free within your own mind, in your own heart, or in your body, this is the episode for you.

It's all about how to become a free human being. We've got two amazing individuals on here who are going to be talking about their experience from overcoming so much before prison, during prison, and after prison. And there is so much that the world does not know about on what you guys have gone through

and how you've overcome the lives that you've had.

And there are a lot of people, Shockey, you talk about this, that there are a lot of people

that are imprisoned who are actually not in prison.

Yeah.

And they are living an imprisoned life, even though they're not behind bars.

And yet, both of you were behind bars, and I think both of you became free at some point

in your own minds behind bars, but you've also been prisoners outside of bars.

Absolutely.
