Killer to Entrepreneur: The Power of Transformation - Quan Huynh

It may seem unlikely, but many successful entrepreneurs have come from difficult backgrounds and turned their lives around. With the right mindset, perseverance, and willingness to learn new skills, anyone can transform their life and create a successful business. Take the story of Quan Huynh, for example. In 1999, he shot and killed another man in Hollywood in a gang-related incident and spent 22 years in prison. However, upon his release in 2015, he channelled his drive and determination into something positive, setting up his own business, Defy Ventures. He even received the Peace Fellowship Award for his work with the Alternatives to Violence Project, helping others to heal and find purpose. Journaling is a powerful tool that Huynh used to understand himself, his past, and create a new future. His writings in prison led him to author the book, Sparrow in the Razor Wire, and actively shift the narrative of what it truly means to be a former offender. In this episode, he shares what it was like to be behind bars and how he found freedom within to keep bouncing back from even his tenth chance at life!
