A new month is here and it is so much closer for my family to accomplish so many goals. I am so proud of them and all that they have accomplished. It motivates me to do the same and even though the times get hard I must keep going and not look back. I know […]

Measuring Success from the Inside Success, in here, has to be defined differently. It’s not about the cars, the deals, or the status anymore. That stuff evaporated the moment I walked through these gates. I don’t get to measure my worth by what’s in my account or how fast I can close something. Now, it’s […]
Krishna P.-05/01/2025-I’m Going to Prison in One Day
It’s the night before I surrender, and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t scared. I’ve spent the last few months preparing—legally, emotionally, mentally—but there’s no real way to prepare for this. I’ve read the books, listened to the advice, talked to consultants from Prison Professors and White Collar Advice. They’ve been invaluable, honestly. […]

Ultimately, I was sentenced to […]

Trung Nguyen-04/30/2025-Journal Entry #13: Grateful for the Fight, Grateful for the Journey
Today 4/25/25 was another visit to the cancer center with my father. This time, my wife came with us for extra support. We had an early morning educational session scheduled before his new chemo treatments begins. Normally, the clinic parking lot is packed and hectic. But today, it was surprisingly calm. One of the nurses […]
