1) Yesterday, I bumped up my push-ups & sit-ups to 250/day. It sounds funny to hear from a prisoner, but I am not sure how much more time I have to do them. The sit-ups are easy because I do them in my bed out of the way of everyone else in my room. The […]
John Hopkins-04/17/2025-Not a Rich Man
I’ve always been amazed how many people thought I was rich when owning a business. The workers took advantage thinking I was loaded, even when they were being paid more than I paid myself. My wife would see a big job as an opportunity to ask for more money. Customers assumed I was wealthy because […]

Another day has passed and I have learned a bit more of what I need to do and how I need to accomplish my goals. I know that once I am back in society all will come at me fast and it will be overwhelming at times, yet I know because of the support I […]
Michael Santos-Predicting the Future
When serving decades in prison, I came to understand that success is built on planning, resilience, and disciplined execution. This understanding allowed me to turn what could’ve been a life of despair into one of growth, contribution, and eventual financial independence.

Another day closer to what I have been preparing for. I know to my family it seems like it is still a bit away but each day that passes gets me that much closer to home. Each day that passes gets me closer to living the life I have dreamed of. I know it will […]
