An incredible tale of redemption

An incredible tale of redemption

Today on the podcast, I have a bite-sized “Plot Twist” episode with former guest, Shaka Senghor.

Shaka spent nearly five years in solitary confinement.

But he had a dream: write a book, get released, appear on Oprah.

Not only did Shaka write a book in 30 days while locked up, he eventually got released and became a New York Times best-selling author.

And as far as the Oprah thing was concerned, it was the plot twist of all plot twists.

Here’s what’s covered in Shaka’s plot twist episode:

00:52 - What it’s like to be in solitary confinement

03:05 - How Shaka wrote a book in 30 days while in prison

09:00 - How Shaka managed to get his book out of prison

14:53 - How Shaka got himself out of prison using a letter

17:11 - What it takes to become a bestselling author

20:42 - The first book Shaka ever sold out of prison

22:07 - How to get your life back after prison

30:42 - The call that changed Shaka's life

If you want to discover why Oprah didn’t want Shaka to come to Hawaii, you can continue the story here.

And my original (longer) conversation with Shaka is here (it’s episode 87).

As always, thanks for tuning in.
