Trung Nguyen-06/22/2025-Journal Entry # 23 Becoming the Architect of My Comeback

Journal Entry

A – Attention:

Most people spend their time behind bars waiting.

Waiting for a transfer.

Waiting for a visit.

Waiting for release.

I’ve decided to build.

Not just my future—but a system for how I think, write, and serve.

P – Perspective:

I’ve learned that writing is not just about expression—it’s a tool for mental conditioning and public proof of growth.

Dan Koe’s writing framework has shown me a path that isn’t just about communication.

It’s about transformation through clarity, consistency, and creation.

I’m not just writing to fill pages.

I’m writing to build a body of work—a system of thinking that can change lives, mine included.

Here’s what I’m committed to studying and practicing:

The APAG Framework – Mastering how to capture attention, share unique perspectives, highlight real benefits, and create content that invites participation.
Writing to Past, Present, and Future Self – Documenting lessons learned, the habits I’m practicing today, and the man I’m building into.
Persuasive Communication – Using clarity, consistency, and credibility to shift how others perceive justice-impacted people.
The Domain of Mastery Model – Focusing my writing on three aligned themes:
Bitcoin and Digital Sovereignty (Money-Making Interest)
Self-Mastery, Discipline, and Psychology (Developmental Interest)
Stoicism and Spiritual Inquiry (Genuine Curiosity)
Audience Awareness – Writing with the intent to help those 1–3 steps behind me build their own bridge to personal power.
Consistency Systems – Treating my writing like training: scheduled, structured, and sacred.
A – Advantage:

This system does more than pass time—it proves growth.

It shows a parole board, an employer, a judge, or even my future self that I’ve built something from the inside out.

Each entry on PrisonProfessorsTalent.com becomes a timestamp—irrefutable evidence that I didn’t wait.

I worked.

I evolved.

I built a philosophy.

And I helped others do the same.

G – Gamify:

I’m not waiting for freedom.

I’m earning it—by writing with purpose, documenting the inner rebuild, and setting the standard for what rehabilitation should look like.

My mission is to lead by example.

To be a builder of systems, a student of transformation, and an ambassador for Prison Professors Talent.
